Ok, I have Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8.0 and I wish to make my AMV in .avi format. I don't want it to be super huge (in MB) but everytime I use the Default Template (uncompressed) option (which was the only option to make the video small enough, but I now believe is completely wrong lol), the resulting video plays the audio fine, but the clips and footage itself is very slow and lags behind.
I've been reading around on the forum and I think I need to make the .avi a format where it's really big, and then use a different program like VirtualDubMod to make it smaller.
Am I guessing correct? Or am I completely of track?
Heh, sorry if I worded this all weirdly -.-;;

Re: Vegas Help-- Making an .AVI
When rendering .avi files, the file size will always be large. That is why you use VirtualDubMod to compress it into a smaller .avi file. Download everything in there. You should use lagarith, or huffy to render. It will be the same file size but they are better. Here is theguide
Instead of using VirtualDubMod, you can use Zarx It does not encode .avi but it does .mp4 so I'm not sure if you're interested in this but the quality with this would turn out better.
I hoped I helped.

Lagarith and HuffyUV are NOT better, they just produce a smaller size but are still lossless.Vax wrote:When rendering .avi files, the file size will always be large.

Re: Vegas Help-- Making an .AVI
in terms of size (of .avi files)...
uncompressed > Huffyuv > Lagarith > xvid/divx
older computers may not be able to playback uncompressed footage without lag (some even have trouble with lagarith or huffy encodes lagging)
as for your guess, yep...that's pretty much it. You don't have to do any more prep to throw it into vdubmod, a .avi file straight from Vegas is fine.
The guide that vax linked you to has more information (the newer version is here), but if you are feeling just a little adventurous I'd try messing around with Zarx264GUI (encoding with x.264 can give you a smaller file with the same quality as a larger xvid encode)
