Using virtualdub to encode video

Virtualdub is a freeware that can convert and re-encode video format into a smaller video size. Follow this simple explanation of how to use virtualdub to encode video files.

First, import your video by choosing file - open your video file. Virtualdub support major video format like AVI, MPEG. You can use virtualdub filter pack to make it support other video format such as MPEG-4.

If your video file is split into 2 parts, you can append it into 1 part by choosing append AVI segment menu. Both files will be joined and loaded into preview pane.

Next, choose the video compression (menu - video compression). There's many of encoder profile. Choose which best for you, for example I use Xvid MPEG-4 codec. This codec will convert the video into AVI file using Xvid mp4 codec.

Press OK and then goto menu - file - save as AVI. The encoding process will start.

If you not define the output resolution then the encoded video resolution will follow the source resolution. I've convert my 8GB AVI video file (uncompressed) with this profile and the result is 220 MB AVI file with the same resolution. The picture is still clear and the sound is good too.... :D
