Wrong. Although some containers are specific to certain codecs or groups of codecs (like .mpg .wmv, .rmvb, .divx and .264) the extension doesn't always tell you the codec, ESPECIALLY not AVI, MKV and the sort. When we ask how footage is encoded, we mean what codec you're using to compress it, e.g. XviD/DivX, HuffYUV, x.264, Lagarith or none (Uncompressed RGB). If you don't know, there are three easy ways to find out: Either open the file in VirtualDub/Mod and go to File -> File Information (This will tell you the FourCC, which is usually enough) or by using any of these two programs: GSpot and MediaInfoN0OB wrote:He means what file type are you importing?

Since it seems that both of you are using AVS scripts, however, that isn't so important: when importing AVS files, the programs assume that it's a specific kind of lossless codec, since every frame is made a keyframe.
By the way, I have 768MB of DDR2 RAM and although that makes AE run very slowly and crash a lot (reason why I seldom use it) Premiere edits and exports without a problem 85% of the time. When it doesn't, I use a frameserver into VDM and all goes smoothly (although slower than it would be if it were working without the frameserver). Whatever your problem is, unless you have other programs running while you encode, 1GB should be more than enough.
32-bit OSes can read up to 4 GB of RAM, but if your OS is 64-bit it can read a lot more.N0OB wrote:I've got 2 gigs...not that thats the max out right now (I think they're up to 4?)
We do suck, because we're poor. About 10% of the footage I use is DVD, because they're all imported (no national companies in Brazil) and f*cking expensive. At least I've really learned my cleaning filters thoughRapture** wrote:The fuck?

Honestly, Hamilton (New Zealand) sucks so bad for anime, like, really bad.
