and you.... i find that the guides sometimes contain "too much information" cause when i first tried using them my tiny little brain was overwhelmed with information and just "shut down". so i tend to not just respond to posts with just RE<b></b>ADFAG (which translates to Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a> after the filter is activated). but I try to direct them to the specific guide they need.

to make it sound worse I also post sometimes with my own guides, as they aren't an official part of this site (nor do they need to be).. I have a notepad filled with advice that i have given again and again and again and again, cause i figure that copy/paste is a lot easier on my carpel tunnel syndrome than typing it out every single time...

imagine how much time we would waste typing the same things over and over again. this is why the guides were made, that way we could give a link to where people could read the information that they need. or some people might even read before asking redundant questions on the org forums.

as CrackTheSky said: they are there for a reason, and its not like they are hidden...
and as BasharOfTheAges said when you have hung around long enough and seen the redundancy of posts you will understand why most people respond with the guides..

i bet if you took out all my posts containing guides I would still be one of the top posters... i have a "big mouth" and i like to talk a lot.

Well, when I made the clips for my AMV, I used Lagarith. No Audio in VD.

did you deinterlace? if you did then use progressive scan on your export (ima continue helping you in this thread that way i dont end up jumping back and forth)

did you try uncompressed?
how much space do you have on your hard drive?

Right, Thanks for continuing to help me ^^. Um, I dont know what de-interlace is

I have 9.06 GB left of HD, and I am pretty sure that is enough, I checked the file that was cut off, and was only 1.5 GB at most.

No, I havent tried Uncompressed, is that good? I mean, it doesnt even have a name like huffy or Laga.

Just as its name suggests, Uncompressed RGB (or "None" for codec choice) means that the raw RGB data is written to the file with no compression. If you export at millions of colors, every pixel will take up 24 bits. If you export at millions of colors plus alpha channel, every pixel will take up 32 bits.

It produces HUGE files, but it's pretty much guaranteed to work with any video editing program.

Uncompressed didnt work T__t. i dont think that its to do with the codec at this stage. Btw, Im rendering with the Field Order at 'Lower Field First' or something like that.

I have changed the properties of my AMV. I have changed the Pixel thing to 1.0000 and the other thing to None Progressive scan or something, even though I dont know what it means. Now, im trying again to render with Laga
