sisabetSo I'm recutting some vids - "Last Stand" and "Without Me" specifically. LS was depressing me so I decided to start on Without Me - cause, Lilah. Not depressing.
Codec issues - yeah. That is another story. So I talked to some people and did a bit of research and drooled over "Superstar" and I decided to try the huffyuv codec - mainly because it is lossless. It is also very very huge so I have a third hard drive just for these remaster projects.
I am pleased as punch with how the codec behaves in Premiere. I couldn't ask for a sweeter behaving clip. Lum says this is because Premiere likes clips to be all loosey-gooesey and barely compressed. That makes sense to me.
My problem is clipping. I am clipping in VDub(version MPEG2-AC3) direct from Mpeg2 source downloaded to the harddrive. I am using huffyuv (with predict median best for YUY2 compression method and always select RGB for output set as the configurations), a resize filter to make the saved clips 720x480, no audio, change source to a frame rate of 30.0 fbs. And all of the VDub clips are saving at this upped clip speed. At 80% speed, they play almost normally - but jerkily.
Anybody know what I am doing wrong?
