The videos I save are always choppy and slow if they're bigger than 400x300

BladeMan.EXE:
And the last time I tried saving a video bigger than that, it wouldn't play.

Raxx:
If you're saving it as uncompressed, that'll happen. It's because it's completely lossless quality (highest quality possible), so it makes for a massive filesize and jittery playback unless you have a powerful PC.

I recommend you keep saving it as uncompressed in case you need to do editing and the like, and then use a third party program to encode the final copy for publishing.

Like Windows Live Movie Maker?

Steve:
I use Lagarith Lossless Video Codec to encode movies. It does a good job of compression and if you and disallow "inner prediction" which makes each frame individually decodable for much easier editing.

Forgot to add that it's free and open source.

Oops, I got the sizes confused with another on - it doesn't compress much in this mode it won't help your file size.  But you should try other codecs to find one that's suitable for your needs.

Codecs?
