Getting the best quality video

joty · 09-03-2007, 10:11 AM

I just started to fraps some games tonight, and have spent most of the night messing around with different codecs in Vegas. I'm fairly clueless about all of this, so I'm wondering what's the highest quality codec (what settings etc?) I can use without the file size getting too out of hand.

I followed the stickied tutorial, and it was decent I suppose. There is a fairly noticeable difference between the original file from fraps and the compressed version, which is expected. The detail isn't too bad, it just seems much flatter.

So, before I delete a bunch of the junk files, I just want to make sure I'm compressing the clips I want to keep to the highest quality.
