MitsInstall Lagarith Lossless Codec and when you're saving the tga's to .avi in VirtualDub go to Video > Compression, pick Lagarith and hit OK. The codec reduces the clip size by a lot with little to no quality loss
Looks great, the file is went from 50gbs to 15gb's. It's still a bit huge and VLC won't even play it properly and is buffering all the time.
WaldoWhat were the settings you used in easy h.246? I've used it for everything I've uploaded recently, and it shows no noticeable quality loss, even when I encode before and after editing. You honestly don't need to upload in 1080p, most people either can't watch videos on youtube with it because of net restraints, or will just watch in the default resolution. This was done with easy h.246. Just make sure you use the highest setting when encoding.
I used the extreme settings, I really wanted to 1080p movies to take advantage of my screen and the highest quality possible.
zigzterLagarith and UT Video codec are both great.
The filesize will still be pretty big with those two, but still considerably smaller.
Will try UT codec thanks
kirbyThere's no way to compress to not lose any quality. It comes with the package. You don't lose that much quality at all when compressing with easy h264. That's all I use to compress my videos and they turn out great.
Yeah it doesn't loose too much quality on 720p, the problem is, I'm trying to render on 1080p and it does affect quality a bit and is fairly noticeable.
