Hello,

I made a screen capture video with camtasia. I used the Techsmit codec provided by camtasia to store my movie. My plan was to re-encode the movie with x264 for a smaller filesize.

I can playback my recorded movie without any problems using any player around, so the techsmit codec seems to work OK.

However, when I open my movie in avisynth to crop it and to encode it using x264 the playback is completely fuckedup. Allot of things are missing and the images flicker around.

If I open the avi file in virtualdubmod directly and encode it to xvid I have no problems at all, the video comes out crisp.

I made screenshot of the original image and the image avisynth provided. I edited out my screen name and some other things for obvious reasons. <edited>

The techsmit codec works in RGB mode only. Might that be the problem? If so, how do I solve it?

Edit:
My avisynth filel ooks like this: avisource("vid.avi", pixel_type="RGB32") (removing the pixel_type produces the same output).

Edit2:

Stupid me, cant search. Solution was to use directshowsource instead of avisource. Im sorry for bugging you people ;)
