How To Get Xvid & DivX Into A Video Editor
Uploaded by: TheWraith
Video Description:
sick of just a black screen or fed up with that stupid green screen when you try and make a music video or just tryna do a fan edit
well heres How To Get Xvid & DivX videos Into Any Video Editor that never used to open them.
requires divX 5 or higher
(xvid is actualy optional)
cos you can play them with VLC media player (withought xvid installed) watch all of it before any lame questions
ps
right at the end has an Airwolf vs Stealth tease (realy cheep crap edit) but i was just happy to be able to open BOTH avi's withought having to re-render them Woooo Hooooo :D
NOTE:
having like 2 to 10 350mb files in your editor can swamp down your graphics memory & make your editor unstable, but we should take this opertunity to exploit this header feature, so heres some sweet tips
1st get ye self something like "Easy Video Splitter" this will trim an AVI to the size you want, frame by frame, it just exports the clip you want At the TIME/SIZE you want (not a re-render)
just a cut then a re-index (takes seconds to chop a clip) this clip will be same quality but smaller, as its like 1 min maybe 2 mins long :D
2nd to assure your clips (stock footage) is stable you can also open them in a thing called "DivFix" & strip the index, then re-build the index, this also takes mear seconds, now you have a realy smooth, small AVi that will open & look as crisp as the avi you downloaded

Tell a friend:
if you install the likes of SLD Codec Pack (latest) and ACE Megga codec pack, you get most filters & little programs (also you get a "Codec DashBoard" wich lets you tick & untick codecs (rather than having to install & uninstall) so you can have all codecs installed & unload em so apps will use what ye tell windows codec reg entries to allow :)
open up vegas then click "file" (were you save, import & render) so on file, scroll down to properties & click it (that box is for the current project) if you change those project settings to the same as the avi, when you drop the avi in (vegas wont change it) if you google search for an app called "Gspot codec" it'll bring up a video scanner wich gives all video information from a file, so you'll no the settings to use for vegas :)
see videos (direct AVI's from a camera) they use a codec called MPJG (motion jpg)
the camra takes 30 pictures a second & saves them as an avi, the frame decompression rate (on cheep gfx cards) is prity deadly in certain editors (if its xvid or divx dont worry about the fps) because if its xvid or divx then its already been cropped & re-padded.
opening like 3200x2800 in MJPG format (on frame by frame view is deadly)
vegas 8 opens most avi's & audio so if you spot it anywere snag it :)
you could scan the avi with that Gspot codec program (to get audio codec name) & see if you can get the codec as a seperate installer
one tip with vegas (4 is in the options) (8 its on the view drop down) theirs an option to draw wav forms (if you sack that) it removes the preview from the actual time line, then drop preview window to draft & wmv run a little better (but not much) vegas accesses a video 3 times (timeline, preview, media bin) codec in use 3 times for one video
see media player files are intended to be played (not re-edited) their also designed to stream in packets down a network (internet)
they tend to use VBR (variable bitrate)
say you drop in a wmv & use a word from it in a video, you line up the word so the guy speeks, when ye exit and re-open it chances are the word is'nt lined up again
solution is to open wmv in movie maker & export as pal DV and use that file (its more stable when being decompresd)
Thanks The Wraith!
i used to love the sonic foundrey version 4, but having quick time 7 in made it start to go weird, by the time i got to QT version 7.4.5, then at 7.5.3 that killed it dead for using movs :'(
codecs & the windows codec merit system sucks lol
All attributes show up for audio no matter what avi it is, but for the Video: bit it just says "stream attributes could not be determined". AND HENCE THE NO VIDEO FEED OF DEATH.
i've tried CC changers and codecs. nothing works. Ideas?
video.AVI
i wonder if its
video.DivX
a .divx is kinda like a rar, it contains way more info than a normal avi
hit google & look for these words
G-Spot Codec Information
the program is free (no install, just unzip)
you can use it to scan the video & it'll give you masses of information from codec to build of codec and can also offer solutions for playback
(if playback works then you just need the "full/retail" version of the codec
you no when you play avi's in windows media player, do they show the water mark on the bottom corner for a few seconds ?
if the option to turn that off is grey'd out then its the freebie bundle of divx
maybe able to fix that watermark depending on what divx you have
but ye kinda need a full install of 5.1.2 or higher
XviD 1.3b is mpg4 and 5.1.1 & lower has problems decompressing it
