I record my demos in tga 30 BasicCam and for some reason when I go to convert them to avi files the avi's turn out choppy and slow. This didn't happen before when I had q3mme 1.52 (I think) but I just installed it again a few days ago (1.6 beta 33). Could it be a newer version of q3mme that my pc just can't handle? Any other suggestions are welcomed.

hai tool, nice to see you participating on the q3mme forums!  the screenie sequencing maybe a bit off... idk what the fix is. are you compiling the tga's with VDub? |

well that's interesting...I tried setting r_mode to a lower resolution (mine was on 6, switched to 4) and that didn't seem to work either. I decided to watch my avi in winamp and I noticed that the clip was playing at only 5 fps, and it kept building up throughout the play-time. It would start off at like 4.12 fps and then get up to about 7 by the time the clip was done. I don't know what the hell this means...

it is uncompressed. it's not supposed to play like normal video file. compress first.

vdub. lol when you use /capture tga 30 tool, it produces 30 tga files per second. all they are are individual screenies. vdub compresses them all into a avi. just install vdub, and open one of those tgas... by doing that it will load off of them in the sequence. match the audio file with the tga's in vdub and do something like "file -> export as avi". should work then.  ) |

vdub is just like PJbmp2avi then. All I do is get the tga files, upload them into pjbmp2avi, and then it compresses them and makes an avi file. The result avi file is choppy and runs slow though, and this didn't happen the last time I used either program >.>

So then it seems like its either the sequencing of q3mme, or the compresser. are all the settings right in the program you use? (codecs/fps/etc)

bmp2avi is simple. Just upload the tga's, name the file you want to save it as, select the fps, and then compress. I tried both 15 fps and 30 fps

pjbmp2avi is shit.
I am almost positive you don't compress the sequence in bmp2avi but just join frames into *avi. No wonder it is choppy if your computer is to process 30 frames, at least 1MB each, every second.
Use xvid codec and use Vdub first of all. If it's never worked for you, that is your problem and not Vdub's because it is about the best, most reliable and simplest tool for encoding and basic video editing.
