I am so glad that shehk included this codec in VirtualDub2, as the others I have tried produced video files that could not be read (green screen) in MovieMaker and Freemake Video Converter.

Lagarith is fast, too.

Thanks so much to the author!

Other than speed of encoding, are there any VISUAL differences between lossless codecs? Most notably this, huffy and h264 lossless...

OOPs, tripped on some bugs.
YUY2 encoding of existing 720x480 clips gives green output.
YV12 encoding crashes.
Captures and RGB encoding work fine.

The author is working on the problem.
Version 1.3.12 is working and stable.

Some nice optimizations since 1.3.9.
I can now use Lagarith to CAPTURE with no frame drop/inserts (3.2 ghz dual processors)

I think Lagarith YUY2 and RGB possibly require dual processors, I got 90-105% cpu usage.
But YV12 used cpu 65-85%, so might be usable for single-core with a fast cpu.

Kudos to the author! Happy to be able to capture YV12 with a reliable codec.

This lossless codec is fast, compresses VERY well, and is stable. Huffy is probably a bit faster, but Lagarith compresses much better. You want this.

This version now works perfect with Vegas 6.0, no more 99% cpu usage.
Very good codec... the BEST for compression with alpha channel. It compress a lot!
A Must-Have for FX editors.

Vegas 6 uses 99% of CPU when I import a video with alpha channel using this codec.
But, it compress a lot!!

Very nice codec! I used it with VirtualDub after tansfering my DV video. Great for editing DV in one program and exporting it, so you can use a differnt DVD encoder without loosing quality. Definitly a keeper.
