VidEdit: Unnecessary Recompression of .AVI Files (94763)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Sound System 1.0
This article was previously published under Q94763 SUMMARY
When using VidEdit to combine several files, you can avoid unnecessary
additional compression by choosing No Change from the Video Compression
Method under the Compression Option when saving the file, or when setting
the Compression Options under the Video menu.
MORE INFORMATION
An example of recompression is the combining of two files created using the
ActionMedia II card and Indeo Compression into a single Indeo file (or even
after just editing an Indeo file) and choosing Save As from the Edit menu
with Indeo selected as the compression method. This recompresses the
file(s) using the Indeo compression again, which in turn can cause a
greater degradation of the data.
By choosing the No Change option under Video Compression Method, you
continue to use the compression scheme of the original file loaded without
a recompression.
Recompression could also take place when combining two files of one
compression scheme and saving the file using a different compression
scheme.
