This tool is obviously still in developement but it is promising. The main problem is it is way too taxing on the CPU. If your CPU doesn't support SSE don't even bother with it. On my Athlon XP 2600 Barton, I got the Visually Lossless setting with a compression of 4 to work and that was the only one. The others were too CPU intensive.
A setting of 4 put it at around 75%-95% CPU in virtualdub with no lost frames while recording from analog 720x480@29.97fps NTSC YUY2. This was with preview disabled in Virtualdub and nothing else running on my PC. With Huffyuv 2.1.1, I was getting around 500MB/min. With that setting I was getting 100MB/min with Alparysoft and I think it looks great.
Bottom Line: Lossless mode is junk... If you like the quality of Visually Lossless mode and your CPU can handle it, go with it. Hopefully they'll optimize the code a lot more. It needs it. |
