I all,

them movie are in DivX conversion, so i need to be installed a divx
codec in my PC. Are any way to include one xtra do this codec, to
garatee that the video runs in all PCs?
Greetings.

Mike,
You might want to take a look at the file closely, and then decide if you wish to edit it. Know, that if you go to DVD, or any compressed format/CODEC, after the edit, there will be another quality hit.
There are CODEC's that are basically used to play a file, and then those that play, plus allow editing. DivX and Xvid, are in the former group. There could be some editors that will edit DivX, but I do not know of them. PrPro cannot effectively use the DivX CODEC to edit. Some have gotten very lucky, once the CODEC is installed, but usually one looses either the Video, or the Audio. In the cases, where it worked, OOS issues were almost always present.
Good luck,
Hunt

Playing AVI and DivX files

I've recently bought a Mac Book and am struggling to play AVI and DivX files. What seemed so easy on my old PC now seems impossible on my Mac.
I've looked at the past forums and tried a few past suggestions, but nothing works. I've tried downloading DivX for Mac with all the codecs, VLC Media Player, Perian and I've even tried coverting through DivX Doctor II.
What am I doing wrong?

I don't think this fixes your problem but it at least keeps the thread going until someone with the answer posts. The one thing you didn't mention was fip4mac. I don't know it those others cover what it does or not. If you have downloaded the file you can control click on the file and select get info. When that comes us select open with. Change what ever that is to QuickTime. Sometimes that lets you view some files. I feel your pain, the change over takes a little time. Hang in there mate, it will be worth it.

AVI and DIVX Plyaback in Quicktime

Is it possible? I'd like to export some of my movies that I have in avi/Divx format to MPEG4 format to fit on the video Ipod. I've read that Quicktime plays AVI files, but when I open them it's just a white screen and no sound or bad sound. Do I need a plugin or codec to view these files?
Also, if I purchase the Quicktime MPEG2 Package, will it let you play DVD files from the hard drive. I have several of my movies backed up onto the drive, but they are in DVD format and not a single AVI file.

This is exactly what is happening to me. I used AoA DVD Ripper to rip my DVD's using a DivX codec. These are .AVI files. I purchased QuickTime Pro 7 in an effort to convert these .AVI files to either MPEG-4 or MOV files to watch on my new 5th generation iPod. I too, get a white screen in the player. I also got a pop-up window that indicated that I was missing some QuickTime components and it took me to Apple's third-party software vendor site to look at some possible downloads. However, it didn't give me a clue as to what to download to get this to work.
I did find this link on Apple's website indicating that you can add DivX to Quicktime:

I have the following A/V components installed on my computer but still cannot view my .AVI files within QuickTime Pro 7.0.3

I'm still trying to get this to work. I may Rip again with a different codec. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions. I'll post if/and when I get it fixed.

How to watch .avi movie with Divx codec?

is there any option for Mac other than using Divx player?

.avi files and audio codecs with Quicktime and other software

Apple Mac OSX 10.5.8, Samsung LED TV, Video Camera saving movie files as .avi, audio codec unknown (G-Spot codec is not supported on the mac so I can’t check)
As a well retired non-computer savvy person I am very confused when it comes to talk about different video/audio codecs. I have read so many articles my head is now spinning with information I truly cannot understand.
Using the above hardware, when I play an .avi file direct from my camera onto my new TV I get a perfect picture but the TV tells me “the audio codec is not supported”.
I have tried, using Quicktime Pro and others such as AVCWare Mac Video Converter and Divx converter, to convert the .avi file with unknown audio codec to an .avi using mp3 codec. This is successful but the camera will not play the file and when downloaded onto a flash stick the TV now tells me “not supported file format”. The TV gives me a Divx registration and deactivation code but I am not sure whether this refers to the TV or the flash stick!
To keep things short, all I want to do is edit/crop .avi files from the camera, save with a readable audio codec, put the files into the TV using a burnt DVD or play direct using a flash stick. The TV supports among other video formats Avi, MKV, ASF, MP4, 3GPP and audio being mainly MP3, AC3, LPCM, ADPCM
Hope someone can help please.
Many thanks Robin Welch

Hi George,
Thank you very much for your last post. One small piece of information from you regarding frame size was the final part to my jigsaw. I recently purchased a new digital camcorder and LED TV and getting them to talk to each other has taken me since December! Having installed MediaInfo as you suggested, I found the camera saved the .avi files with AAC LC audio codec (first piece of the jigsaw). Talking to the people at DivX about the problem brought up the fact that both my TV and Sony Home Theatre should be registered to play DivX files, this I did (second piece). Having reinstalled Perian and opening my .avi files in Quicktime player I tried saving the files as DivX to several profile options including Home Theatre with max 720 pixels (last piece). At last it works fine. Thank you for your help, I am very grateful.
Robin

Elements problem after divx codec install

hi all,
I am having an interresting problem and I am hoping someone can give me some advice.
I have been running Premiere Elements 8 for a while and a it has been working fine. a few days ago I tried to install the divx codec. Now I open Premiere Elements and it will open, load my project, then minimize and I can not get it to restore.
I have uninstalled divx but no luck.
I also did a windows system restore to a previous state but had no luck there either.
I am running Windows 7 64 Bit.
on a quad core Intel Q6700 processor
intel motherboard
8 GB of Ram
ATI FirePro V4800 (FireGL) Video card
dual monitor.
I am suspecting the codec updated a driver somewhere that is causing a conflict.
I had similar problems with Photoshop elements 8 and had to disable my twain drivers to get it to work.
any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks;

Welcome to the forum.
I have used the DivX CODEC, plus the DivX Pro Encoder for years, with zero issues, until the most recent update of DivX with both its CODEC and its player. Did not update the DivX Pro Encoder.
First, these problems have not affected PrE 4.0, running on XP-Pro SP3, so there ARE many differences to your setup. With those differences, I am not at all sure that my observations will apply to your installation and your system.
The only problem that I encountered was that the DivX player seized the File Type Associations for all AVI's, so that Dbl-clicking on any, would always Open them in the DivX player. The new one is filled with ads for all sorts of things, and reminds me of the old RealPlayer from years ago. Also, those ad often lead to a dead-end, from which the only recourse is to buy whatever the ad features, or go to Task Manager and Kill the process - really, really bad move DivX. All it took was going to Control Panel>Folder Options>File Type and changing the AVI associations back to my desired player, MediaPlayer Classic HC. Fixed.
That was my only issue with any version of the DivX CODEC, or the DivX player. Still, I made note of it.
That does not mean that on your system, and with PrE 8, something in there might not have broken.
I would check the file associations in Control Panel, and reset any, that DivX Player might have changed, then test.
While you are at it, also update both your video driver and your audio driver, from their mfgr. Web site.
Good luck, and maybe others will have tips or suggestions.

Playing AVI and MKV on a Mac questions

First let me say I'm converting to Mac soon. Hence these questions.
I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
Thank you.

I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
Depends on whether or not the codecs cotained in the AVI or MKV files (AVI and MKV are only file containers—not compression formats) are supported by the DivX installation or your Mac component configuration.
Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
The Perian package still works under Mountain Lion but some codec components may only be available via the older QT 7 player app. However, DivX codecs may or may not have conflict problems with the Perian components.
Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
Again, this would depend on the specific codecs used in the AVI or MKV file containers. Basically if the content is compatible with the formats supported by FFmpegX software, then they will be supported by HandBrake. As to loss of quality, the depends on the quality you start with in the source file, the specific settings used for the conversion, and the target display dimensions of your conversion. In some cases where the source data is already compressed as MPEG-4 or MPEG-4/AVC content, the data can the resaved to MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file containers withould having to transcode any data.
Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
Basically, any App Store application that can convert AVI or MKV files using its own internal codec support and has a built in player module should be able to play such files. And more are available online besides those in the App Store.

DivX codec not recognized

I have recently installed Premiere Elements 10. I went to import videos from a folder and I get this error "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed." After searching around the internet I installed the DivX codec (from their website). How do I get PE10 to recognize this codec??

Welcome to the forum.
DivX is seldom supported, but some users claim success Importing some flavors of it into PrE.
I just convert DivX, which is a streaming-delivery format, to DV-AVI, or other format, in a conversion program. I use the older DigitalMedia Converter 2.7.
Good luck,
Hunt

DivX Codec

I am in quite a pickle. I have a digital camera that records video in AVI format, which needs the DivX codec to be played. I think that the audio is recorded in MPEG, I'm not sure. Anyway, without the DivX codec, Quicktime will display a white screen, with the audio only. After I install the DivX codec, Quicktime displays the video, but no sound! How can I get Quicktime to play a DivX AVI with both video and sound? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

I've installed Perian, and it does the same thing as when I installed DivX. Video, but no sound. I viewed the properties of a video file, and it appears that the video is recorded in XviD, with MP2 for audio. Does Quiktime not play MP2s, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

Problem installing DivX codec on Nokia 500

I have a nokia 500. I'm trying to install DivX codec to play HD Video files. But when I install DivX player, I can't go to main menu. The main menu turns down.
Have anyone tried installing DivX codec or any other codec on nokia 500 to play HD Videos? Please help me. Please tell me which codec or player is fully supported by Nokia 500. I've searched a lot about players and codecs on nokia 500. But nothing found.
I need to play High Quality AVI, MP4, MPG and FLV files. Please suggest me any player that supported by nokia 500.
By the way, I'm using the latest Belle Refresh(111.021.0028) on my nokia 500.
Thanks in advance.

There is no graphics chip upon 500 which is responsible for such problems.

Video format .avi and iMovie

Hi,
i am now starting on iMovie HD. I use a Casio Exilim s-600 for video shooting. Problem: the recording format is AVI.
I run the divX codec Pro on my desktop, which i expected to enable Quicktime to read those.
I unfortunately only have the sound and a white screen. Consequently, I can not use any of these in iMovie.
Is there any additional codec enabling or any foramt converter that can turn into the proper format, and if so, which format?
I am only starting in movie editing and not fully aware of what and what is not possible between formats.
Any tip will be of great help.
Thx in advance

I downloaded the Casio program. As part of the installation, one is asked to drag the Casio component over QuickTime in the Library folder. My Library folder does not have any QuickTime file/folder. Should it?

QuickTime alternative DivX codec

Greetings!
I'm dealing with an application that handles movies. The movies I'm currently working on are DivX movies with a “.avi” extension (they are not commercial movies, just some I converted from my camera).
I've installed the DivX 6 Decoder component found in Apple's Codecs page, but it shows the “DivX” logo at the bottom right corner of the movie for several seconds. My movies application, which relies on QuickTime, includes this logo in the final movie and it's, of course, not what I want.
Back in Leopard time, this DivX 6 Decoder component did not include the DivX logo, so I've tried replacing the newer (on my Lion system) by the older (in /Library/QuickTime) but now, QuickTime-related applications randomly crash (including QuickLook). This isn't unexpected, but at least I can transform my movies without this DivX logo.
Now, I'm wondering: could I find a DivX 6 Decoder component that doesn't display the DivX logo in the movie? Other components, like for MPEG or AppleIntermediateCodec, for example, don't make this.

You can try Perian:

Remove the DivX codec first; they cannot coexist without problems. That might decode your DivX files and allow you to export them without the watermark, though I don't know if all versions of DivX are supported.
That's weird, as I already have perian (since several years). Perhaps I should never had to install “DivX Decoder” in the first place (they interfer with each other, as you point out)? Or perhaps Perian doesn't handle my specific files…
varjak paw wrote:
If not and you don't want to deal with an external converter, then paying for the Pro codec may be your only other option. This isn't uncommon with codec developers; they provide a playback-only codec for free but if you want to export or convert the format you have to pay. Check with DivX to be sure.
Ok. What I don't understand is why my converter (VisualHub) made DivX files if DivX is so “commercial” (=whose no free Codec exist which don't add watermarks). I just chose the “Avi” option, not DivX.
Thank you.
