I installed max7 demo yesterday and started messing around with it. I did one of the jitter tutorials and liked it a lot. I then found out how to add live inputs from my eurorack synth to manipulate the vdo using adc... Loving what I see, I then wanted to export a live jam to share it with a friend. I managed to hook up vdo and audio to jit.vcr. It does work to write to disk but 30 sec = 1Go. The thing is way too big and my computer is unable to record without dropping frames and glitching the audio. When I try to add the codec attribute to jit.vcr, the whole thing is grayed out.

So my question is how can I set some kind of compression to make the output vdo smaller and my computer able to handle the whole process...

Hope that this makes sense and that somebody can help me with this. I spent a lot of time in the documentation yesterday but didn't find my answer.

i'm not sure what you mean by "grayed out", but typing [ jit.vcr @codec h264 ] is all you need to do on the Mac using AVF engine. if you are on windows (32 bit only) or using QT engine, you have to use the getcodeclist message, demonstrated in the help file.
