Don't quote me if you are going to change my words in attempt to make me look bad. I was just trying to offer some video help. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't this forum board is called "Video Help"? I wasn't spamming, but you are most definitely spamming, trolling and baiting. An avi file recorded using the 32 bit Packbit codec will not open in Sony Vegas Pro 64 or any 64 bit video editor for that matter.

There is no loss in quality at all, not enough to make any noticeable difference. The movie will still look great.

The only loss in quality is when you convert the avi movie to mp4 in Sony Vegas Pro and upload it to YouTube, but that has always been the case.

Somebody please delete El Heggunte obnoxious reply. I believe the word you were looking for was "Dude", not "dud" though maybe you meant that as a slur. But you also don't have your media facts right, either. You need to lose the attitude, dude, and learn from those that know more than you.

Both are lossless. One is an older Mac codec, one is a PC codec distributed by DXtory and likely the one being discussed here. However, all the rest of that is correct. Last edited by Cornucopia; 9th May at My friend recorded a movie using Packbit. He tried opening the movie in several video editors and none would open the file. I explained to him that packbit was a 32 bit codec and could not be opened in a 64 Bit editor.

I then tried to help him find a way to open the file because it was a very import movie to him and he did not want to lose it. After about an hour of searching around, the only thing we came across that would allow him to open the file was XVid MiniConvert. He then converted his avi and was able to open it in Sony Vegas Pro He then edited the movie and render it as mp4 and upload it to YouTube and the movie looked great.

The only noticeable quality loss was from the movie being converted to mp4 and uploaded to YouTube. So for you to tell me that there is quality loss, you must be talking about something you would only notice under a microscope with bionic eyes, because the movie looked great.

I tried it myself just to test it and it looked fine. I did suggest to him that he use x to avoid having to convert any movies in the future, and I am not suggesting that anybody use Packbit.
