This is my seconded attempt at working with the AVI format rather then a Mpg one.

Ok to be honest this video isn't very good. I see alot of techincal issues in the video such as the fact that you used a 56kbps audiostream (which sounds just awful) and a 700kbps divx stream which possesses a great amount of artifacts. And the third thing is the low resolution which makes the video additionally blocky when the player resizes the image to fullscreen. If you want to change these thing but don't know how I'd suggest that you take a look at the guides. Your last videos looked a bit better than this one so you should maybe stick to the mpeg1 till you know how to change the avi quality problems.

But here is the thing when I did different settings on each, the current one came out much better then the Mpg control. Also for the codec I was using the ffdshow pack on Divx3 DV5. I get the feeling that we are watching two different videos. The format for the audio is in a MP3 format at the highest rate. Also I set the bit rate fot the play back at 1200 Kb per second.

Hm ... well I just took a look at the video with virdub and thats what it said. And the Divx3 low-motion isn't the best choice for avi thats what I meant; I'd recommend xvid 1.1.

I tried to look for a xvid plug in that Vegas 4 will see but so far nothing.

Well, I'm not much for the character focus, and the song is an odd one, but the capture quality wasn't bad considering the length of the song and the file size, pretty clean, actually. There was a little fuzzy 'bleeding' on one of the darker skin tone shots, and definite interlacing (use virtualdub's 'deinterlace' filter - smooth that right out).

If you're producing the vid from Vegas using a divx setting, that's probably the source of your headache right there. See if Vegas gives you an option to produce the video (without the audio track) to huffyuv, or uncompressed. Then compress the file in Virtualdub to xvid. The guides walk you through that, using an avisynth script to size down to 480x352 (nice results with that). If you had a high quality mp3, you can attach it to your xvid encode with Nandub. It sounds like Vegas recompressed your audio - it's half the usual 44100Hz.

I think Bum uses Vegas, he could probably tell you how to export a high quality file, so you can compress it with VirtualDub. If nothing else, you can toss in a few filters that I know Vegas doesn't give you - primp and polish while you compress.

I know what you mean about watching 2 different videos, though. Something to watch out for - if you have a very high bitrate, and the vid looks perfect on your comp, chances are people with a slower computer will have all sorts of defects showing up in Windows media player *because* the bitrate is so high the program can't play it properly. Sort of a double-edged sword.

I will have to look into that. Thanks again for the help.
