Okay, I made a vid some months back and I had a problem with Windows Movie Maker not importing the .avi files. It was suggested that I download the Klite Codec pack, which I did. This allowed me to import the .avis; however, I still had a problem when I went to publish. I don't remember exactly what was going on, but I do remember figuring out that I needed to uninstall DivX, which I did because I thought I no longer needed it with Klite. I actually deleted it after I uninstalled it. Well, time passed, and I decided to try my hand at another vid. I used DVD Decrypter and then went to use AutoGK, but it won't open because I don't have DivX or Xvid. I tried downloading DivX and it still wouldn't work. I did some research online and I found that AutoGK doesn't work with newer versions of DivX.

So does anyone know what version of DivX I need and where I can find it? Alternately, is there something you would recommend I use instead of AutoGK. It would have to be freeware that is compatible with WMM. Also, I have Vista (64-bit).

Hey vidders,

I'm very new to this process, so of course the information out there is pretty overwhelming. I'm hoping you can help me decide my best choice as far as which program to use, how to go about ripping DVD files, codecs, etc.

I have both Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD. As far as making/editing clips, I really like Premiere (although it's possible that Vegas' trimmer is just as easy to use and I just can't figure it out...). I'm confused about ripping DVDs. Apparently Premiere doesn't like XviD/DivX, so I've been trying to avoid that.

What I've done is ripped a disc of episodes (S1 of Supernatural, not that it matters much) using CloneDVD5, which of course gave me .vob files. I looked around the internet a bit, and learned that Premiere will accept .vob files if you change the extension to .mpg, and it worked. I was able to import a .vob file and played around with editing it as well. The only problem I ran into is that the episodes were split into more than one .vob file - is that something my DVD ripper did, and if so, how can I fix it?

The big problem is that it seems too easy. Will I have trouble exporting/getting my finished vid onto the internet if the clips used were edited as .vob/.mpg files?

Basically I'm wondering if I should stick with Premiere, and if so, keep editing as .mpg or try to convert my .vob files into something else. Or, should I just convert them into DivX files and learn how to use Vegas? I realize that what program you use is just a preference issue, but I don't want further complications down the line.

Thanks!

They did it already in June this year ( http://community.livejournal.com/sv_vids/85124.html ) , and here it is again now!But there is a caveat! the members of the german freeware board, where i just read the info, are currently discussing, whether there is a trojan in that installation or not... I have no clue, the copy that i got in June, worked fine, and whatever they want to spy on me...:)

DivX Pro download available for free for a limited time.

Why Buy DivX Pro for Windows?
Unlike too many things in this world, the answer to that question is pretty simple. If you want to create (awesome, awe-inspiring) DivX videos, you should consider buying DivX Pro for €19,99. If you are primarily interested in just watching (awesome, awe-inspiring) DivX videos, you should download DivX for Windows, and then, if so inclined, use the trial versions of the DivX Converter and DivX Pro Codec to create your own videos and decide if you want to upgrade. (If, on the other hand, you don't know what the word "video" means and your primary interest is, say, traveling the world to compete in professional hot-dog eating contests, then you may be in the wrong place entirely. Not judging, just trying to save everyone some time...)

Need more detail? How about a pretty graph that shows the differences between the two

again, i dont know , how long this offer will last, so if you think, you might want it, go and grab now.

ETA: the trojan detection happened to some , and not to others, for now, i would say, wait for a day, or two first, to see if more clarity on this "gift" is appearing.

I am not a vidder and consider myself just an avid vid watcher, but when I saw this news today in one of my software dl sites, I thought, maybe vidders here thought of this as useful:

I'm trying to encode a vid using TMPGEnc, and when I play back the resulting file it slows or gets stuck on some frame(s) of video, throwing the audio and the video out of sync. I've encoded vids to Xvid with TMPGEnc before without any problems. For this one, in addition to Xvid I've also tried DivX and a couple of different Microsoft MPEG codecs, all with the same result.

There was a similar issue in a post in the memories from last year, involving VirtualDub and Divx, but apparently nobody had an explanation or solution at the time. I was hoping either that person had figured it out or someone else had stumbled upon a solution since then.

ETA: Fixed! Though I have no idea what did it. I went back to Xvid from the other codecs, switched from 2-pass to 1-pass mode, changed the audio format to MPEG Layer-3, and closed some other programs that had been open in the background. Could have been any or all of those things. Explanations welcome.

If there aren't any, maybe this can at least be a useful list of things to try for anyone else having the same problem.

Maybe it's just me. I've tried EO Video, Divx Converter, WinMPG, and something else I've forgotten, and I cannot successfully convert .wmv or mp4 files to a divx supported avi file.

EO Video is prohibiting me from doing any conversion until I've paid for the trial product. I paid for WinMPG and and Divx Converter, and neither worked, so I'm reluctant to pay for a third converter that doesn't work [note: Divx Converter might handle wmv; it definitely can't handle mp4.]

I'm running Windows XP. My goal it to take an assortment of video files and convert them so they are divx avi files. Most of the files have the extension avi, but some do not appear to be divx-encoded avi.

All of the files can be opened and viewed with the VLC player, so I know they are valid files of some type, so presumably they can be converted.

Any suggestions for a conversion program that works, and is cheap?

Note: The files I converted through WinMPG could not be read by either the VLC Player or the Divx Player. Divx Converter keeps crashing -- it seems it's the wmv files that cause it; it doesn't recognize mp4 as a valid type.

EDIT: I took

nbgeekgirl's advice and downloaded Super. Couldn't download it with Firefox, but I was able to with MSIE. Result: Super is awesome. It converted the mp4 and wmv files superfast, and I also used it to add divx encoding to the avi files my Divx player couldn't handle. The GUI is a joy to use, with everything clearly labeled instead of a bunch of coy meaningless buttons. It works so much better than Divx Converter [which I just bought] that I'm kind of stunned.

Like

nbgeekgirl, my converted files showed up somewhere peculiar, in my case the root directory. Just search for the buggers and you'll find them.

Yesterday I started my 15-day "Insane December Vidding Project." Essentially I'm copying the idea behind NaNoWriMo and applying it to vidding. (If you want more information, go here.)

Anyhow, I've put my first vidlet up at my LJ here, and I'm trying to include comments on the things I'm learning technically. I'm using Final Cut Pro, which is a brand new program to me, so most of what I'm doing is very basic, but there's a lot of playing around and random clicking (and abuse of transitions!). I thought that someone else who is new to the program might find these little bits of information useful, so I'm posting here. They're all going to go into my memories each day, as well.

I also haven't figured out how to export a decent-sized, decent-looking file that plays on both PC and Mac, and in my searching online I haven't been able to find anything that's worked (I've tried a lot of different exports; I've got about 30 versions of the same 30-second clip). The export I'm using now (QT Conversion>Save as QT File>3ivxD4 4.5.1 codec settings) is producing a pretty good quality clip, but my minute-long export is 14 MB, which seems awfully large. If anyone has any recommendations on a good way to export out of FCP, I'd be grateful.

Just thought I'd mention here that I posted some notes about multipass encoding in DivX to my lj, for anyone else who's had trouble getting it to work.
