1270471 2012-04-17 21:42:00 Yeah - also the editing side of things in VD is very useful. I would normally be very happy to use .mkv but the video needs to be playable on several devices that don't support it - .avi is the easiest for this particular application.

Just had a thought - don't know why I hadn't thought of this before. I'll try doing the same thing on another PC, and see if I get the same results.

1270472 2012-04-17 22:36:00 I use the free Streamclip for simple editing like topping and tailing, chopping out ads, and repairing the timecode.(even though I've got CS5.5 and Pinnacle14).

I save the Streamclip output as mpg and later convert to x264 in XmediaRecode. But apparently Streamclip can save as x264, as this Google screenshot shows:

1270473 2012-04-17 23:23:00 There is also virtualdubmod (virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/) a upgrade, where it incorporated utilities It added more formats, scripts, etc, without users needing to add them for video editing. AviSyth (avisynth.org) was used a a lot with Virtualdub and also for TMPGEnc. I never used the new mod, but I would think would be easier, faster for editing, than when I used to add manual scripts with Avisyth. kahawai chaser (3545)
1270474 2012-04-17 23:41:00 Thanks everyone - got plenty to try. I'll report back when I've spent a bit of time with it. :) wratterus (105)
