Geezer,

Thanks for the reply. I agree that VirtualDub needs an uncompressed file for best results and that's where I'm running into trouble.

I tried sending a DV Codec (Digital Video - used by most Digital Video Cameras) encoded AVI (about as close to raw as you can get) and Virtual Dub couldn't read the file.

I then tried sending a MPEG2 encoded file, which is also pretty high quality and it couldn't read it either.

I was forced to output my file in either AVI format using the Indeo codec or MPEG1, both are lossy (i.e., they discard data to reduce file size). The resulting Axim file - processed through Virtual Dub using the DivX codec produced OK results, but I think I could do better if I could find a high quality AVI codec that VirtualDub can read.

Do you know what AVI codec your VideoWave software is using?
