I think some of you guys may be abusing this codec for no good reason. Not every codec has to be designed for real time capture! For capture you already have the popular and excellent Huffyuv codec. The latter is a compromise between speed (so it can be used for real time capture), and performance (in terms of compression ratio). There is room for a codec that doesnt compromise: one that goes for the best compression ratio it can get, while still being lossless, and which doesn't give a damn about being slow. Usually these codecs are asymmetric - compression is much harder and slower than decompression.
How do you use it then? Easy: capture your vid using the Huffyuv codec. Say you capture a movie at full PAL resolution and it takes 40Gigs of disk space. Now you run it through VDub using the MSU codec for output: now your movie takes 20Gigs of space, or less. Isn't that worth having?
Sure, it would be nice if they made it faster so you could use it for capture, but that doesn't mean it can't be used now.
