1. Will get to it. Thanks for the suggestionSoup wrote:1.Read <a href="http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech3/">ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a>LULZ
2.Don't edit XviD's/DivX's,MP3's.Edit Losless/WAV formats.
3.Uninstall K-Lite It sucks.
4.Get CCPD.
2. No, lossless are considered those codecs that may not change the video information, so quality stays the same ( such codecs like HUFFYUV, Lagarith ). They weight more than you could expect, though (lagarith less, but needs more processing power). However, if you start from a MP4, editing to these won't make much of a difference. I think Soup referred to the fact of starting from a better quality source.twindelphine wrote:1. Will get to it.

2. Is MP4 considered lossless (this part might change as I go find out)
4. What's CCPD?
The best would be like Soup said, to edit from Lossless sources from the best quality DVD's sources you could find. I have only used Adobe Premiere editor, but I can tell that editing to MP4 containers is usually (not always) buggy, at least from the very poor experience I have in using them. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a AVI Xvid and MP3, my guess is that the conversion wasn't good at all and there was a problem in the middle. And even if you can play it with the player, maybe it won't read in the editor.twindelphine wrote:The original question still stands: What are the video & audio codecs/formats that you guys use to edit your videos? I'd prefer Sony Vegas users to answer, but I don't mind other editors as long as you state the software you're using.
4. I'm hoping you are right. Perhaps Soup can confirm this? Cos only he can rectify his error.Pankyy wrote:2.

4. I believe he meant CCCP(Combined Community Codec Pack), because he was talking about Codec Pack.

Which is why I wonder why it didn't work at all. Even now Sony Vegas refuses to read the audio of my videos.Kariudo wrote:.mp3 should work just fine in editing programs (because each audio sample has all the information needed to make the sound it's supposed to make.) That said, it's probably still a good idea to work with lossless audio through as much of the editing process as you can...quality stuff and whatnot.
