"Id say try it with less compression as it eats alot of cpu cycles to decompress the..."
~sigh~ why do my posts get scrambled?
well, since part of that quote was left^ I guess I'll address it first~again~
aside from converting from raw to wmv, I don't compress any of them
and I had already read that thread, they don't really mention any programs to use to make them, I currently use windows media encoder to make the wmv files, and I have attempted raw to mpeg2 with mediacoder, but the video's just come out blank, mpeg4 works but only if I change the container to mpg, and I'd rather not jerry rig the dreams to work ~most people may not have the codecs~
so... if anyone has some step by step instructions on how to make a raw avi into a mpeg2 file that utilizes very little cpu cycles, please share
