Dxtory and Lagarith Corrpution

Hi guys,

Trying to do some recording at the moment, using Dxtory and the Lagarith Lossless Video codec. I'm getting a horrible colour corruption when playing the videos back, only way I can stop it is to check the option "Prevent Upsampling when Decoding" and using the RGB setting under the codec.

Some googling has unearthed that this setting stops the codec from doing any "colourspace conversions", which I'm therefore assuming is what is causing the corruption.

Any ideas how to fix (as RGB uses more MB/sec) or can anyone recommend another codec to use?

Cheers

The default dxtory codec and set to low is very good and in terms of file size isn't far off Lagarith.

Thanks for the reply, found out its actually VLC media player that's causing the error! Never thought I would see the day VLC can't handle something!

Anyway, problem solved

I had the same in VLC with this codec.

I'm trying to find a codec that will work with Final Cut Pro X on the mac?

When you say default codec, do you mean Dxtory Video Codec?

Yup, VLC messes up playabck. it's fine in editing or something like Media Player Classic.
