Hey y'all,

I've recently begun making fraps recordings, and have since stuck a few together in Sony Vegas 9 with the intent on putting out a film. I've run into a wall with the whole rendering/encoding process I hoped you folks to shed some light on.

Producing a simple .wmv file from Vegas kicks out a ~1.X gig file for ~10min of footage, which I want to avoid like the plague. Reading through most video creation forums, I've come to understand the best way to go about this process is the render the video uncompressed from Vegas, and then encode it using third party encoders. Everything I've tried so far (MeGui, MPEG Streamclip, few others) either aren't intuitive at all, didn't work or the tutorials don't address the issues I'm having.

With this in mind, how do you folks go about the rendering/encoding process?

Have you tried virtualdub. I find it easy to use. Here is a useful link. http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1403786

Virtual Dub seems to be the solution, but it's been one hell of a journey today figuring things out.

I'll reply back here at a later date with what's worked for me and the results I get.

Virtual Dub and Staxrip are the ways to go

On Sony Vegas 9? fully uncompressed AVI => Virtual Dub => H.264 MP4

My personal workflow?

Fraps

Audio editing in Sony Vegas=>Wav file

Video Editing = Premiere Pro

Post processing = After Effects

Encoding = Adobe Media Encoder

@ rendering: I had the issue that the format Sony Vegas 9 was kicking out was in something call SFBD, which is unrecognizable by encoders I was trying to apply. I ended up downloading HuffyUV for my uncompressed rendering format - great quality result, and the render only takes ~35gigs for 10 minutes of 1080p footage, versus the ~500gigs that vegas was kicking out with its proprietary format.

ED: for comparison, the size of the fraps folder for the footage was all of 24gigs.
