I've used both.  I can't remember which I was using for the last cap I did but I'm guessing it was the FFMPEG implementation of HuffYUV, because FFMPEG is fast even though it doesn't multithread.  Speed was essential - wanted the fewest bottlenecks possible.

Have you tried to use Ut Video codec?

Just wanted to thank everyone involved with this. I was using Lagarith to edit HD videos, but have now switched to UT.

I did a pretty extensive study of speed and video quality with Lagarith, Huffyuv, and UT, and while UT-RGB and Lagarith-RGB provide 100% identical output quality (confirmed with the MSU video quality measurement tool), the UT-RGB codec encodes to x264 at over twice the speed of the Lagarith codec on a Core i7 overclocked to 3.6GHz. I am getting 1080p encoding at well faster than realtime using this codec, something totally unthinkable with Lagarith or Huffyuv, with no quality hit. Thanks!!!
:thanks:

I recommend you to test high compression mode instead of fast decode mode.
In my experience, fast decode mode slows more than High compression mode because the speed of HDD be a bottleneck when the resolution is larger than QCIF (176x144) :eek:
For uly0 of 720p, my Q9450 machine can be encoded/decoded with 72fps/148fps on high compression mode.
however, on fast decode mode, the speeds are down to 67fps/138fps.
