Ok, I got it. Don't tell me how I did, I gotit the same as most of you did. ...So shaddap...[/western accent] Oh and thank you matt. =D

But I got a major, and a minor problem. The installation went well, but now, when I try to preview a clip on Sony Vegas, the video I see gets all deformed with all sorts of colorful, pixelated TV-style pixel screen of death. The FPS goes way down as well in the preview. Has this happened to anyone? Is there a fix or an adjustment I missed?

The minor problem is, well, I have no clue how the hell to use it. Anyone here that is a decent expert on Sony Vegas, I would appreciate any kind of tutoring through Xfire or TeamSpeak. If you choose TeamSpeak, I have a TS Dedicated Server, and we can use that.

Thanks for ANY kind of help guys. I probably won't be back tonight, going to go sleep over at my friend's house (last day of vacation for us =/ ), so yeah you get the point.

I recommend you have a chat with Nessy, Megabit Au, or any of the other video editors you see post here at the Maw.

I don't think this belongs here because it has nothing to do with Halo. Unless your recording a movie in halo or something. But then again, what do I know, I'm white. >.>

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

If you read these forums more, you would know that he makes Halo PC videos. ;)

Last week if I remember correctly you were flaming 11 year old kiddies (or whatever it was you said) about exactly this sort of thing.

Dear me.

But anyone knows what's going on with my major problem? The one with the image distortion during Sony Vegas video playback...

Does the problem still occur after you export the movie to a movie file? Because I have kinda the same problem with WMM. The quality is crap while I'm previewing, but once I export, it's smooth as pie. Your problem sounds much more serious, but sounds like it might be of the same origin. Then again, I'm not familiar at all with Vegas 7.0

Also, it might be in your computer. I seem to recall you getting a new video card, but that doesn't necessarily mean the other components of your computer are up to running Vegas.

Totally unrelated: WOOOOT! my new laptop has built in spell check for Firefox, so I can actually spell properly without repeatedly editing my posts!

the wmm preview being worse simply means you have a lot of effects/titles/other stuff going on, so it takes a while to render that, hence the stuttering if you have a worse comp. When you export, it's just playing a video, nothing special. Happens on all video editors if your comp is a bit slow.

Also, it's not your laptop that has the spellcheck, just the fact that you have one of the newer versions of firefox that includes spellchecking.

Nah, quality isn't what I'm talking about. Let me take a picture...be back later with one.

While it plays, this happens, and makes the vid very...um, deformed.

I agree with this guy. It takes some processing power to render videos with all the snazzy effects and likes.

Can you guys at least try to be helpful?

Screw the rules. I will continue bumping until I get some help with my Vegas-disortion problems.

Well, for me, previewing imported .wmv files gives me that same preview lag, like it takes a few seconds to load each frame. I dont have that problem with imported .avi files, unless I add effects to em. But to change the preview quality, just change the Preview setting right above the preview window. Normally it defaults to Preview Auto, but you can change it around for higher or lower quality.

Your problem was that you were recording with GameCam. If you're going to be using a professional video editing program, then at least do the right thing and get a professional recording program. The full version of Fraps works wonders and I've never had a problem with it when it came to editing in Vegas.

Well, with computers that have a slow CPU, FRAPS is laggier when recording than GameCam, at least, so I've heard. I personally use a full version of FRAPS and that works for me. I have a real fast video card, but its hindered by my slow CPU, so in effect, I get low recording framerate. I've tried GameCam but didnt like it cause it had too much un-necessary stuff with it. I just needed something to record and stop recording at the push of a button.

Also, FRAPS raw vid files are generally MUCH bigger than raw GameCam files. Like, say a 2v2 HPT match on Chill out, one records with FRAPs, the other records with an older version of GameCam that doesnt have the logo on the recordings. The Fraps recorder gets like 4 gigs of raw footage, while the GameCam only has 400 to 500 megs of raw footage of that same match.

Don't. I didn't get the replies I wanted when I first posted some questions here at the Maw, but I didn't bump them.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but if you don't have a system to handle professional recording in the first place, then you shouldn't bother with it. I'm all good with Fraps because I have a good processor and I have a huge hard drive. And, as well as it should be, I empty my Fraps folder when it is needed. Also, you can reduce file size recording with Fraps if you choose to not record .avi, but it's usually preferred because .avi files record with the highest quality. Just my two cents.
