I had high hopes of using DxTory for recording videos however when I tired to add media to my timeline in Movie Studio 13, it would crash. I tired some experimenting with the other codec's other than DxTory Codec but those codec's are by far the most horrendous visuals I have ever seen. They did not record in color, and it was completely depixelated. However, is there a way that I can change the codec of DxTory to something that Movie Studio likes or am i limited to what I get. I would love to use DxTory over Fraps for the soul reason of individual track for voice over the video. I like that it is separate and not conjoined into one file.
Please let me know. Thanks.

I confirmed that it operates normally on Movie Studio 12.
Please uninstall them, if old Dxtory is installed.
And install the latest Dxtory.
Can you confirm if it works on Movie Studio 13?

Can you confirm if it works on Movie Studio 13?
I can confirm that Dxtory works fine on Movie Studio 13 and it does not crash. I'd advice you to install Lagarith Lossless Codec (http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html), then select this codec in Dxtory, record some new footage and then try again to importing this footage into Movie Studio.
If it will crash again I think it's possible that your codecs are screwed up. I would recommend then try to install K-Lite Codec Pack (http://www.free-codecs.com/k_lite_codec_pack_download.htm), if anything is wrong with your codecs then this installation will repair them.
I have tried the Losless codec however that seriously impacted my frame rate for recording, (well below 15 FPS) and it still did not work when importing to Movie Studio. I will try the other one you mentioned though. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm not 100% sure I did exactly what was needed with the codec tweek tool. I just clicked on fix, and selected yes for everything. However when back in recording with DxTory using the DxTory codec, it still crashes. I do believe this is more of a Movie Studio problem than it is a DxTory problem. I shouldn't have bought from Sony... :( Waste of money. However it's already bought, no returns... I'm stuck with it and must get it fixed. But Sony won't help.
I have installed the MPEG-4 codec, and even used that with DxTory, still Movie Studio Crashes. I am fairly sure it's not a DxTory Problem. Windows Movie Maker can take the DxTory codec just fine, however it decreases quality to like 144 p. Yuck...
Yeah it sounds like an issue with your video editor, you should try uninstalling it and downloading the latest version. Make sure the path letters where you installed both Movie Studio and Dxtory have only latin letters, no gibberish like "ポストを行" (example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Dxtory).
Also it seems you are not the first person (http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=889111&Replies=4) who is experiencing crashes upon importing Dxtory files into the timeline in Studio 13. It's hard to say why some people have it, some not. I would advice you to try Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr) to work around your issue, it's a free transcoder that will reduce your videos file size to the minimum without destroying the quality(unless you mess around with settings). Try putting your footage through Handbrake, maybe footage will become compatible with Movie Studios. You can even tell Handbrake not to mess with quality at all, simply re-encode it.
If I were you I'd also ask around if it's possible to return the software license back because it's not properly working for your purpose. Adobe Premiere Pro(expensive but unlimited version) and Adobe Premiere Elements(more limited but cheaper version) surely don't have these crashing issues and are a lot more new user friendly than any of Sony stuff. Good luck, I hope Handbrake will temporarily solve your issue until you get a compatible editor.
I'm fairly sure Sony screwed me out of $50 and will not accept a return. I am receiving 0 help from Sony at all, either on 2 different Emails, 3 different Sony Support Twitter accounts, and on the Sony forums, 0... ZERO help from them.
I asked for a return just not, and told them that the product did not work like I remember with Movie Studio 12. I'm fairly certain that Adobe has better service than Sony, however. I initially thought with how big Sony is as a company, (Tablets, computers, Smartphones, software, movie production, ect.) that they would be good in service. Never in my life have I seen such horrible service.
Though I don't want to subscribe to Adobe as that could be expensive, I just want this to be a fairly inexpensive hobby of mine. Right now, I think I will stick to Windows Movie maker, and if I decide I enjoy making gaming videos I may get Adobe. The thing about WMM is it's so limited. I can barely make transitions, or change the audio of a voice over, or let alone add 2 tracks to a clip, because there's only one timeline. ugh...
Thanks for your help. I'll update this thread if I have any update on Sony. This will surely be the last Sony product I ever buy. (I was considering their Windows 8 Tablet, but I think I'll get a Surface)
Technically they didn't screw you over, and most likely they are going to use this excuse in their response that their editor is "designed for real-life footage editing from video cameras", not gaming footage captured by the software. If I were you and would want to get a refund, I wouldn't mention that you are trying to edit a gaming footage. Simply claim that you purchased Movie Studios from them, and you are receiving these crashes when you try to import your footage, your hardware meets the minimum requirements. So tell them either to find a solution to fix your crashes, or give a refund for selling a broken software.
As for Adobe I didn't mean subscribe to their CC model. I meant to buy a one time license. Here are few on Amazon:
Adobe Premiere Elements 12 (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-65225383-Premiere-Elements-12/dp/B00EOQZB32/ref=dp_ob_title_sw) $69.99
Adobe Premiere Elements 11 (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Premiere-Elements-OLD-VERSION/dp/B0093FROFM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396236139&sr=8-1&keywords=Adobe+Premiere+Elements+11) $59.99
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Premiere-Elements-Old-Version/dp/B003YV62CM/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1396235585&sr=8-9&keywords=Adobe+Premiere+ELements) $39.99
Adobe Premiere Elements 8 (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Premiere-Elements-OLD-VERSION/dp/B002IJA1DM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1396235585&sr=8-5&keywords=Adobe+Premiere+ELements) $19.99
Adobe Premiere Elements 7 (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Premiere-Elements-OLD-VERSION/dp/B001DMBX2I/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1396235585&sr=8-15&keywords=Adobe+Premiere+ELements) $9.33
Unfortunatelly I've asked a friend of mine who still uses Premiere 8. He says only Fraps(also capture software) footage works on this version, Dxtory is not being processed. I'll check info if 9th version has any issues with Dxtory too. Also it would be useful to know which codec do you prefer to always use when you are recording your Dxtory footage?
Thanks a lot. Surely those prices are much better than the new high end things they are currently selling.
Well it's same as Sony.
Sony has - Vegas Pro which might cost you over 400$, obviously they are designed for movie producers and generally companies. And they have Movie Studio which is a scaled-down version of Vegas Pro that costs 50-100$. Naturally second one is a consumer version.
Adobe has - Premiere Pro, again ridiculously expensive version for companies. And Premiere Elements a scaled-down version for consumers.
I would like to expand what I said earlier about Premiere Elements 8. I had doubts about my friend's claim since Elements 8 is not that ancient software not to support Dxtory, I have downloaded Elements 8 trial to test it myself. My friend was only partly right. Yes Dxtory - Lagarith RGBA, YUY2, YV12 formats and many other codecs are not being recognised by Premiere 8, sometimes it even crashed on me upon importing. However the following codecs worked fine, and Premiere 8 processed them and rendered the video without issues: Dxtory Codec - YUV410, Lagarith - RGB, Packbit Lossless Codec (http://exkode.com/products-en.html).
Out of these three, Packbit Codec showed the best performance/quality value followed by Dxtory YUV410. Lagarith RGB showed worst result, even 20% skipped frames(because this codec shines best only with YV12 format, but sadly it's not compatible with this editor). So if you will be getting Premiere 8, then I advice trying out Packbit codec. I would also advice trying it out on your current Sony Studio, you never know. Also I know it's a pretty noob thing to say, but make sure when you are importing new footage which you are testing out on crashes, that you delete old footage which already caused crashed in your previous tests. It's enough for editor to attempt to read incompatible file to crash.
P.S. NEVER BUY software without testing it out the Trial version. You never know what you might not like in it.
I'll try out that codec you suggested, but I tried out so many that I am just expecting it to fail.
How about Adobe Elements 12, I have heard that 13 is bad, so maybe AE12 would be alright and it's not that much more that Sony Movie Maker, assuming I'll get my money back.

Yeah 13 is VERY bad... it doesn't exist yet :P
I assume you meant 11 vs 12. I'm pretty sure you can get 10 or 11 and you won't miss out much for not getting 12. I'm looking at changes for past few versions, I don't really see anything notable except that after version 10 and later has full 64-bit support.
Trials are free, I would suggest downloading them and trying out(also to verify any crashing issues). If you are on tight budget you might consider 10. Though naturally the older the software, the higher chances are of incomparability, but again that's why there are trials and plenty of time for testings.
Really? Where can I get the trials of 10 and 11? I was about to buy 12 because so far with this trial of 12 it has been working flawlessly.

I still have both trial installers on my external Hard Drive. If you need them, I can upload them on my Google Drive account and leave the download link.
Hey, replying on here since it shows up in google searches, and was exactly my issue.
The core problem is that the PackBit Codec (which I love!) is a 32 bit DLL.
Movie Studio 13 (for me on my Win64 machine) is a 64 bit exe - It can't use that 32 bit DLL.
Which explains why my old Movie Studio 9 worked fine - because Sony was ONLY releasing a 32 bit version of it at that time. I would imagine if I force-installed a 32 bit version of Studio 13, that PackBit Codec would work fine.
There doesn't happen to be a x64 release of DXTory/PackBit does there? :)
I remember asking x64 version of packbit waayyy back when, I believe exkoder said that usage of packbit is not recommended (very experimental) and he's not too keen on making it 64bit.
In the same thread I was then introduced to ut video codec & lagarith. Both perform pretty much as fast as packbit, but produce smaller files.
Both come in 32- and 64-bit variants, too, so there is no real need for packbit, imo.
