Yea, I am going to be doing it in VDM, but EVERYTHING I use to resize just makes the anime.....gigantic, and my computer won't handle 12 episodes of so many gigs each >.o.

Damn you Vegas, why can you not jsut take in the AVIs? >o<

instead of converting the whole episode
use these buttons to select the beginning and the end of each clip you intend to use:

its time consuming but worth the time imo.

also go to "audio" choose "stream list" and click button that says "disable" that will remove the sound for you... (that is unless for some reason you "need the sound")

I RECOMMEND using lagarith to edit with in Vegas, as its given me the least troubles...
but, you CAN edit with mpeg4 v3 it will just not play back like lag or huffy will, you might have to do "pre-renders" to see if the visual syncs up... (you can choose the option to render the loop region, that will make the render go faster...

ps mpeg4v3 is a "good" codec, but its pretty lossy, so you WILL lose quality.

Hmm, I tried Lagarith, and when i went to preview a clip, the sound was there, but no video whatsoever. :S Is that why you take out the audio? Does it somehow remove the footage? O.o

OHHH I was in Full Processing mode. Direct copy makes it very crisp and small filed, THANKS.

Damnit. It is all blurry in Vegas, but crisp in play. I am going to have to mess around with VD a bit and see what comes out of it. I will reply back later.

no you take the audio out to "save on space" because the audio takes up space, it will make your files smaller to remove the audio (plus you dont have to remove it in Vegas itself, so it saves on time, do you really "NEED" the audio?)

Yea, I got it all set. I ment Vegas was turning out like this when I was editing it that way:

The way i am doing it. I am putting it on Fast compression, and doing as you said, just trimming it out. I believe I have been using Microsoft Windows Media Video 9, seeing how whenever I play around with Lagarith, it only captures the audio. :S.... Doing it the way I am now though, as I said, it is going....ok.... for me right now, but DEFINITELY better quality than the MPEG crap. >.>
