Hey all,

I am rather new to the video side of things (I usually deal with still images, photoshop and the like) but now am trying to learn a plethora of new stuff, including video editting.

I need help with video rendering advice, currently my work flow is I use Premiere for editting the video as required, I save it as lossless AVI (in other words not compressed) and then I use Virtual Dub to compress the video using DIVX or whatever else.

I am having problems getting Prem and DIVX encoders to play ball.

I have a video file (for example) 320x240, and in the rendering, select that setting for premiere, and for DIVX too, and chose square pixels, 4:3 or any other options (the same on both DIVX codec and the rendering settings for premiere) but whenever I export the video, it always judders and breaks up. If I do something like cinepak encoder, it works perfectly, and then I can use VIrtualDub with DIVX to encode, which puzzles me greatly :/

Anyone have suggestions to a video newbie?
 
I'd use Microsoft Video 1 with full quality on both settings, sounds like your machine rather understandably is struggling to output that much data at that rate uncompressed.
 
Perhaps you misunderstand/I explained poorly.

Uncompressed the video is PERFECT when it is rendered and I view it via media player classic, it is when I try to compress DIVX video in premiere it messes up. If the video is NOT compressed when I save it from premiere, it works flawlessly!

I then have to load it via virtual dub, and Virtual Dub compresses it perfectly, so it's obviously me not understanding the settings on DIVX or Premiere (or most likely both :p )
