A Guide I made some months ago now. This is the most popular XviD Guide available. It works and gives really good Quality.
Here is a new Version, I hope you like it!


Programs that you need:

- NICS XviD
- MovieMakers.Nu Counter-Strike Config
- VideoMach
- Vegas Video
- VirtualDub and Radium Mp3 Codec


Install the XviD Codec Instructions:

I don't know wich Codecs you have installed, but to get this right we need a XviD Version called "NICS XVID".
We all know that Codecs are very difficult to install. Do like this and you will be sure that you installed it the right way.

1. Uninstall all your Codecs and Codec Packs.
2. Restart your Computer.
3. Download and install NICS XviD.
4. Restart the Computer again.


Things to Setup and know before we start making AVI Files:

- Graphic Card Options:
    - Image Quality - Best possible
    - Antialasing Settings- Best possible
    - Anisotropic Filtering - Best possible

- Use MovieMakers.Nu's CS InGame Config

- Use Startmovie 90 on all Demos in Counter-Strike

- In VideoMach, add the *.bmp Files. Type in a Filename and render wich uncompressed.


Vegas Video - The final Rendering:

Edit your Project and when you happy. Click File and render and you will get this Window below:

Click render, select AVI and XviD. You won't have a Template called XviD like in the Picture above!
You must continue the Guide and save your Settings and make a Template called XviD!

Click custom on the first Picture. Type in a Template name and click the "save" icon to the right. Select "Best" Quality.

Click Video on the second Picture and you will these Settings. Do like on the Picture.

Click custom on Picture above and you can Setup the Settings for the Quality. You can use 80 to 95 and see what Quality you get.


VirtualDub Settings:

Now we have an AVI rendered wich Xvid. The Music is *.wav, so we have to render the Audio to Mp3. This will make the Movie a lot smaller.

1. Unpack the Zip File and you will get a Program called VirtualDub and the Radium Mp3 Codec.

2. Install the Radium Mp3 Codec. Just press next under the Installation. Restart your Computer.

3. Now place the VirtualDub folder where you want it. You don't have to install anything. Just click the VirtualDub.exe to start the Program.

4. Press "File -> Open Video File". Select your *.avi File and press open.

5. Press "Video -> Direct Stream Copy".

6. Press "Audio -> Full Processing Mode".

7. Press "Audio -> Compression".

8. Now you have some Options wich Codecs. Select the "Mpeg 3-Layer" Codec to the left. Bitrates will appear to the right. Choose "128kBit/s, 44,100 Hz Stereo".
    If this don't work, select "128kBit/s, 48,100 Hz Stereo". Press "ok".

9. Press "File -> Save as AVI". Select a new name for your Movie and press save. Now a Process starts and after it finished you got a new *.avi File with same Movie, but the Filesize is different. ;)


I hope this Guide worked for you. If you want to speak with me you find me in #MovieM on Quakenet.
