I have issues with codecs that are not h264. Authoring plays a part. Not all h264 files are created equal. I work in games and Thursday I did 26 animation h264 captures for scoring, but I had to capture at a res and bit rate that wouldn't choke ProTools. I think it ended up being 1280 x 720 60 fps 35 Mbps (I'm not sitting in front of it now). All 26 videos are in one session on one video track. No issues. The first few captures I did were chuggy so I rezzed down until I got a usable setting. This is an HDX system. I did a game in October with over 260 captures and the best codec we found to use was h264. This was done on my personal HDN system. Both are Mac 4,1 dual procs (HDX is 2.28, mine is 2.66) with 16 GB RAM.
