Huffyuv

I capture analog video using virtualdub. I added the Huffyuv codec to the capture setup. It captures and plays back fine in vitualdub. When I import the video clip into VF 2.0c, it is grossly distorted. Why is VF not using the codec? Or is there something I need to do to get VF to recognize it?

Thanks in advance

Define "grossly distorted". I assume you are capturing from an analog source and could capture at 320x480 to preserve interlacing but it could make the picture look twice as high as it is wide if the software displaying it doesn’t compensate for this. I remember when I had a Pinnacle DC10+ board it would capture this way and Studio DC10 displayed it fine but VideoFactory would not. Is this what you’re seeing? (just a guess)

"grossly distorted"=the shapes are intelligible, but the colors are inverted, lots of black, red, and green. If needed, I can post a screen capture.

Make sure the "Always Suggest RGB Format For Output" option is checked in the codec settings.

I made the change this morning. That was the problem.

Thanks discdude.
