QUick question G-Force: when encoding in VirtualDubMod which codec do you select?

Also do you leave the re-muxing of the audio till the last stage?

Many thanks!

John, I honestly haven't gotten that far yet. Currently, I'm encoding the avs script to Mpeg with HCenc, and just limited portions of it so far. I plan on adding the audio back in when I re-encode the whole thing to DVD.

It would be cool to have a huffy file of this though so that non-linear editing could be done later. I don't know though, something about manually painting frames doesn't sit well with me. Maybe if someone wanted to use this for replacing scenes from the SE, but then I think I'd suggest applying the filters differently depending on the scene. The global motion stabilization for instance can be so much better if you know there are no large objects moving in scene (and even better yet if there is no intentional motion at all). And I'm also toying around with making the stars less shimmery, but am having trouble doing it safely on the whole movie.

So that's the long winded answer to your question about encoding, which is really just me thinking out loud about the need for a lossless file.
