    Yes you Can Crop with Virtual Dub and since you are useing HuffyUV if you crop the File and Output useing the HuffyUV codec you will not loose any Quality cuz HuffyUV is 99.9%Lossless...To Crop in Virtual dub you go to "Filters" and Load the "Null-Transform" Filter then the "Cropping" Button will show up and you can crop the File....Cheers

    Well Did you capture that Audio to a Compressed Format Like MP3??? If you did and you set the audio to "Full Proscessing Mode" then the audio will be Uncompressed there for makeing your Files Much Bigger...You can try running your File through V-Dub again But set the audio to MP3 compression ....I hope this helps...
    PS: what is the End use for these Files?? are you going to make a VCD/SVCD or DVD???

    Yes you can...Depending on your DVD Player,...All you do is encode to SVCD then after encodeing to SVCD you Take the File and Load it into Tmpgenc"s "Merge & Cut" (Some poeple use the Multiplex But I find this more reliable) But you choose "Video-CD Non-Standard" from the Drop Down Menu then give the New File a Name and click "Run"..In a Couple of Minutes you will have a New File that will Have a VCD Header, Now you Burn this File as a VCD In nero.(Turn off VCD Compliance)
    Not all DVD Player will Play them But many will..If you are Going to Make a VCD or SVCD then you don"t need to wory about Cropping or the file being too Big because you can Crop in Tmpgenc and you are just going to encode the File anyways and Probably delete it when you are Done so the File size shouldn"t Matter and Tmpgenc Likes Uncompressed audio anyways over any other Audio format...well Good Luck...Cheers

    If you are going from 320+240 then you should be Makeing VCD"s and Not SVCD"s Because Up-Sizeing the Resolution that Much greatly reduces the Quality...And if you use the "Merge & Cut" instead of the "Multiplex" you will have less Problems...Good Luck
