now i was told that this was a good alternative if i couldnt use lossless codecs so i tired it and the quality looks great and is a little less than half the size of a huffy (cuz theres no aduio either) but when i use it in WMM it wont create clips. anyone know why....or how to fix it.

Maybe someone has already told ya that.. Anyway - it might be because WMM accepts not all the codecs? I've tried to input some H264 footage into my own WMM (wow,it's been really a long time since I did that last time o.O) and it didn't accept it - it haven't created any clips.

If you don't want to use Huffy,there is always Lagarith,which I think is much better than Huffy (if you have a fast machine of course..).

trust me...the problem isnt a fast machine...mines faster then hell. the problem is space. lagarith is like 10 gigs and episode. i got 26 episodes and 160 gigs of free space.

Is there another codec that works in WMM, that i can convert to at a decent speed, isnt more than 5 gigs an ep, and doesnt look like shit?

Dunno about your footage,but mine is like this : 720*480 ; 23.976 fps ; no audio steam. And if I remove opening and ending,episode takes me only up to 5-6GB. Besides,I don't see a point of keeping EACH episode full. You could just remove clips you think are not needed for sure,and that would save lots of space.

I used this methond,and all 25 eps of Love Hina was compressed to 70GB (that's hell a lot,but hey - it's was my first time using lossless...). Render one ep,and after it finished rendering,just remove needless clips.

OR - someone around here will soon post you the way to use VFapi or FakeAVIs...

if you make your clips in vdubmod, you can use huffy and keep the size of the clips to a few GB (depending on how many clips you have, and their length)

Yeah...that means that you should keep the vobs around so you make more clips (should you need to), but it takes a lot less space than huffy encodes (usually about 1GB per ep)

and by size of the clips I meant the total size of all your clips
just to make it a bit clearer

if you make your clips in vdubmod, 1. you can use huffy and keep the size of the clips to a few GB (depending on how many clips you have, and their length)

Yeah...that means that you should keep the vobs around so you make more clips (should you need to), 2.but it takes a lot less space than huffy encodes (usually about 1GB per ep)

Wait a sec. I don't get it somehow... Use huffy,but it takes less space than huffy

I get what hes saying but he could probably coulda phrased it better.

[post-it]

.. if you make your clips in vdubmod, you can use huffy. ( about 10gig's each )
Yeah...that means that you should keep the vobs around so you make more clips because those files are (usually about 1GB per ep) and only VirtualDub the sections that you really need.
