View Full Version : Can't choose video compression when capturing in Virtual Dub compatibility mode

I use Virtual Dub in compatibility mode to capture at 480x288 as this mode solves the audio-video de-synch problem.

I can't however put any video compression to use while at this mode. I have PIC Video MJPEG and Huffyuv 211 codecs installed and enabled and can use them no problem with normal VDub capture, but when I go compatibility mode I only get uncompressed video (1.0:1) no matter what codec I have chosen in the "Compression: Compatibility" option.

I'm really puzzled as to why this is happening. No matter what resolution I choose, I can only capture uncompressed video in compatibility mode. I get no dropped frames and great guality, but file size is so huge... Anyone can give me a clue regarding what's wrong and how I fix it?

I have a Celeron 900, 512K Ram, NVidia MX 400 VIVO and SB Live and run Windows XP Pro and VDub 1.4.5 and 1.4.8.
Cheers

What you really need to do is figure out why you're getting audio desynchronization in normal capture mode. What capture settings are you using, and how is the audio desynched?

You can visit my video capture site for help with setting up VirtualDub.
