Hey TL,

Recently I've begun to edit the dozens of hours of BF3 I've recorded on my computer. For the most part, they were captured using FRAPS, and fraps has a cap of four gigabytes (I think) per video file. But you know these are raw files, and they are really difficult to edit because they just take forever for the computer to process (or something-- point being it's really slow). So I got this software Pazera Free MOV to AVI Converter, which can also turn AVI into MPEG or whatever I want, making the files like actually 8 times smaller.

So then I switched to DXTORY, because it doesn't lag as much when I play. However, DXTORY doesn't split up the files like FRAPS does, so I'm left with like a 75 gigabyte raw video file. It's also encoded using xtor, some codec that is unique to DXTORY.

Okay, so here is my problem. Pazera can't encode the DXTORY files. It starts the conversion, and then... nothing happens. It gets caught on frame 0/65445. The encoder out put just says this:

[avi @ 0x31e8ae0] non-interleaved AVI

Then the last bit gets repeated again and again. So does anyone have any help they can offer? I really have no idea what to do here.

Thanks just downloaded that, I guess another question is what should I convert it to? Like MPEG or DV or what?

Thanks a lot. Though now I have another issue, where when I open the file up in Avidemux it's just all green. No audio, no visual. What's that about?

I should note that avi in general is just a container format. compression is with a codec.

did you try re-encoding it with a different codec (maybe like something like XviD -- do NOT do H.264/x264 with avi. that's bad practice).

How would I do that?

But now my problem is that Avidemux can't "read" the files. It's just all green.
