I've had some really good luck in the past (LV2011) acquiring from a GigE camera and pushing my frames to AVI in order to save video/images of my sample. I just updated to LV2013 and the AVI2 toolchain seems quite a bit different and not as effective.
It looks like AVI2 should be able to access the same codecs (Video for Windows [VfW], now called VCM) that I could with the original AVI toolchain, but I don't get the same list at all. I used to use Lagarith pretty heavily, but it's not available in AVI2.
Here:

Microsoft Video 1
Intel IYUV codec
Cinepak Codec by Radius

Anyone else running into this?
Also, the camera I'm currently working with has 12-bit pixel depth and I can't find a codec that supports more than 8-bit. Anyone know of a good codec for that?
