Well, that definitely did something. It disabled two codecs and did something with the registry. It did make Lagarith work with Windows Movie Maker
Cool, thankfully we hit the spot and now your codecs are sorted out as they should be at least. This fix also applies to a lot of other software which might be installed on your PC too that uses AVI output, so it's all good.
although Lagarith seems to be a bit slow to start recording, so I might just stick with Dxtory (as they both work with Adobe Premiere Elements 12, which I will probably be purchasing).
In technical operations Lagarith is faster than Dxtory codec. You have mentioned "a bit slow to start recording", do you mean that after you press the record button it just hangs there for 3-5 seconds and starts going? If so that is normal and will happen with any codec or any capture program if you are recording on a secondary Hard Drive. What basically is happening that Windows detects that your Hard Drive is spinning for no reason at all and you are not doing anything with it for a long while so windows shuts it down , similar how monitor and PC might go to "sleep" if you won't use it for some time. When you tell Dxtory to start recording, it has to waits for Hard Drive to starts spinning first. I personally just take a screenshot to wake it up from in-game since I'm too lazy to search how to turn off hard drive sleep mode
Ultimately, it's your choice which codec you wish to use of course. I'm only saying that Lagarith is indeed faster, and you are right Adobe Premiere will process any codec indeed. If you'll manage to find a cheaper price for APE 10 version or 11 version then go for them. 10th is like XP, it had a very simple and easy to learn interface which was great. 11th felt like Vista because in 12th it seems they fixed everything I hated about 11th inconvenience and remade interface design. Of course that could be just a matter of preference. All versions from 10 to 12 work perfectly fine with Dxtory, Fraps and Open Broadcaster Software, tested myself.
