Subject: How do I load video codecs into DAZStudio 4.9?

I only have like five video codecs to choose from and windows doesn't want to play most of them. How can I get another codec into DS ? Maybe the H264 codec for example.

I thought any codec installed on the system was available, but in any event the usual advice os to render to an image sequence and assemble that in a video editor - that allows you to render in chunks, ro rerender frames that need tweaking without having to rerender the whole animation, and provides protection from crashes. Rendering to an image sequence also allows you to use PNG (or Tiff) and so have an alpha channel.

Can I assemble an image sequence inside of DAZStudio?

No, you need a video editor of some kind.

Virtual Dub is a free video editor. It can assemble the images into a video.

That should be correct, with one qualifier. 32 bit Codecs only work with 32 bit DS, 64 bit codecs only work with 64 bit DS.

Note many codecs are 32 bit only.

Ah, thank you Bruce.
