Whenever I try to record an AVI with the settings "Full frames (uncompressed)", it seems as though once my AVI passes a certain length, a part of the beginning of the video will look really wrong but the rest of the video will end up fine. How do I fix this without switching codecs?
I recorded for 11 mins which produced a 4GB file, trimmed off everything except for the problematic beginning part and reduced the file size to 6MB using windows movie maker, which caused the sample to lose sound and most of its video quality, though you will clearly see how screwed up the video looks.

I'm using Vista and VBA re-recording v20.

1. VBA should not be making 4GB files. It should be limiting them to 2GB afaik. I am unsure why it's getting limited at 4GB, but it's possible that it's not limiting them at all, and your filesystem is FAT32. Please check whether your filesystem is FAT32 or NTFS and report back.
2. This looks similar to a problem that is common in the RTM version of Vista (the first release), but is not identical. As such, I don't think it's a Vista problem but I cannot rule it out. Please ensure you have Service Pack 1 installed and report back.
3. Have you tried VBA rerec v19.3? Does it have the same problem?
4. Try a shorter clip. perhaps 30 seconds. Also try recording in a different codec to rule out the problem being uncompressed. Let me know how it goes.
<adelikat> I am annoyed at my irc statements ending up in forums & sigs

It’s not actually limited to 4GB, the file went to 4.2GB so I conveniently rounded in my account of what happened.

I should have SP1 as Microsoft’s official website says I should’ve gotten it through automatic updates.

I can’t find a download link for it on the site or through a google search :/
