If you're just looking to capture stuff to put up on the web, you still want to capture in the highest quality possible, so that when you smash it down, you lose the least amount of quality possible.Ī couple of excellent free/shareware encoders are TMPGEnc (pretty easy to use, and best for web encoding)) and Avi2Dvd (not at ALL easy to use, but very customizable and much better quality output).įeel free to pick my brain more if you so desire.ĮDIT: for PC playback and web uploading, encode to. Avi files will lag most computers pretty bad.
