WMM Freezes when my mouse goes over clip

[Keeper of Hellfire]

I tryed making it a Microsoft H.263 Video Codec,

Did you read the AMVWiki article that
BasharOfTheAges linked to? I doubt it, M$ H.263 is as evil for editing as XviD. I suggest to go back and read.

I am really confused, I understand that I need to change my compressed XVID to a lossless file codec, I got eo-video. In the converter after I add the episode to the playlist, it asks me about compressions and stuff, do I change it to a compression? Do I leave it alone and let it change, I already tryed converting without a compression and it came up with errors, I am guessing it's because it's already an avi.

I also just recently got the HuffYuv but I don't know how to change the video I have from XVID to Huffyuv with it.

Can someone help?

Use VirtualDubMod and read this.

You can change the frame rate in virtual dub, to 25 or 29.97 (assumefps)have a look at both and see how sped up it is and then decide which you prefer.

um yeah sould have said using avisynth to change fps in virtual dub when you re-encode to huffy

Visual Dub seemed a bit complicated, can I do this with WMM? Or should I just try and get used to VDM?

You use VDM to prep your footage, not to edit with (unless you like very difficult challenges).

OT: Do you know of any videos that HAVE been made using only VDM and AviSynth?

just right now I'm doing vdub/mod and wmm works fine to me but it very easy to use the vdub/mod I used to that couple of weeks now ^_^.

It's not. Honestly. Follow that link and get the AMVAPP package - install it. Then open VirtualDubMod from your start menu. Open the episode you want to convert. Click "Streams" and remove the audio track (if there is one). Click "Video" and "compression" and select "huffyuv" from the list. Hit "OK". Then click "Video" and choose "fast recompress". Then "File" and "save as". That's it. It's going to be a huge file, so if you're short on space, try just converting the scenes you're actually going to edit with. You can select the scenes you want with those little black half-arrow boxes on the bottom right of VDub.

As for the framerate...I used to edit with 24fps footage after doing inverse telecine (per the guides). I did a few vids at 23.9~ something (the guides again, just not converting to 24 since I wasn't using Premiere). I never had any bugs I didn't get already get with 29.970, so I don't think the framerate matters that much. Unless WMM doesn't like 29.970 progressive, either. The only issue with fps was matching the audio track back up after exporting.

There was one user that said they did it several times... I forget who it was, but it was someone that used to frequent the forums quite a bit.
