Pro 2.0 crashes

Right, I get to the encoding part and VDM dies on me.

I tweaked my codec settings for export and that helped a little bit, but not a whole lot (about 20 frames during encode). Even when I try to seek to a random point, I crash VDM.

Interessting. Uhm... What do you think about the x.264 alternative? I mean... all you need is a Lagarith (it should be a looseless codec) file and a mp3 or m4a audio stream and mix it all together with a script.

This guide tells you a lot about it and isn´t too hard to understand. In the end only a few parameters really "matter":
--crf 18 or something between untill 21
18, means bigger filesize and higher quality and everything higher means a lower filesize and lower quality. Thats all.

Of course afterwards you have to mux audio + video in mp4box.

I'll give that a whirl.

Just another question:

Theoretically, would VDM be able to combine two Lagarith files with very few video errors easily?
