Problems using HuffyUV

Post by Graceria » Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:57 pm

I'm having an issue with HuffYUV And I was hoping someone here would be able to help me. Ok, so here's the problem. Whenever I export something as HuffYUV, I can't look at or open the file. Windows crashes every time. I can't open the folder the file is in without Windows crashing. Heck, I can't even open the parent folder... I have it in "MyDocuments\My Videos\AMVs\KingOfYouStudios\Uncut" If I try to open even my KingOfYouStudios file, it crashes! The only way I have found to stop the problem is to delete the KingOfYouStudios file and everything it contains then recreate the folder and rerip my DVDs for the footage I ended up having to delete. This is driving me crazy. I have tried uninstalling Huffy and installing an older version. Didn't work. I have tried changing the settings before I export. No good. I'm honestly at a loss as to how I can fix this. Please help if you can.

Are you trying to make an entire episode into one huge-ass HuffYUV .avi file, and then doing that for multiple episodes and putting them all in the same folder? Because yeah, that'll crash your computer.

If that's what you're doing, just take the clips you need and make a bunch of much smaller .avi files, OR use Lagarith instead, which is also a lossless codec but takes up less space than HuffYUV.

Stupid question: Have you tried checking the "Always suggest RGB mode for output" checkbox in the HuffYUV settings?
