hi, im trying to make a video of my render sequence, but been having a hard time.

i render my frames in .tga, then i drag my render folder to fusion, put a saver and choose uncompressed, so i can encode my video later with other software.

but whenever i render and save the video, it has some slowdowns during playback.
what am i doing wrong?

It looks like your computer not powerful enough to play your uncompressed file in real time.

only if an i7 930 with 6gb of ddr3 ram is not enough :/

Unfortunately it can be true. I have very powerful computer like you (i7-950, 12 gb ram + quadroFX 4800) but when I try to play daylies mov (photo Jpeg-compression, 2k) I have slowdowns too. What file-format do you use (avi/mov)?

im using avi files, and the reason i tell you the slowdown problem is
not on the playback, because it always slows on the same point, it slows
on all computers i tried, it slows even if i compress it, no matter
what codec/format, and it even slows after uploading into youtube. so
the problem has to be while saving the file (or rendering)

but nonetheless, im saying this, because i only see one other option besides uncompressed, with is a microsoft compression, and it returns me some sort of 8bit video, idk exactly, but trully colorless. if i had a losless compression format on fusion, i wouldnt mind. is it possible to save with other formats / codecs, right on fusion?

It's tough to troubleshoot playback issues without knowing the exact codec/ hard drive combo.
Remember that the main performance bottleneck is always going to be disc I/O, so CPU and ram are meaningless unless you have a drive that can read at a speed of at least 150mbps + for a compressed HD frame.
We have a SSD raid 0 with 620/250 mbps read/write speeds, so playback of any uncompressed format up to 2k is always real time.
We can play zip compressed 32bit float exr images real time with no issues in Fusion, so there must be something wrong on your end.

that's because of the compression.
you just select indeo video 5.10 from compression box. then it will oke . Then make sure that VLC player , media player classic & quick time player are installed.

then it will be rocking !
