I can't export to DivX and XVID files

Hi all,
although I have installed the DivX and XVID Codecs, iMovie 08 (7.1.4) won't show me the Option to export Video with these codecs. If I choose to export with Quicktime, the only options I can choose are:
3G, Apple TV, AVI, Bildsequenz, DV Stream, FLC, iPhone, iPod, MPEG4, QuickTime Film, AIFF, AU, Wave
I also cannot import a XVID avi file to iMovie, although the Quicktime Player plays it allright. Did I understand anything wrong or should both work? What's going wrong?
My preferred workflow would be:
1.) Import AVCHD Files from my Panasonic HDC SD5 Camera in HD Quality
2.) Cut it with iMovie 08
3.) Export the new Video to either a DivX or XVid HD avi-File.
What can I do to get this working? I am using Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a Macbook 2,4 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM.

iMovie '08 can import the AVCHD-Files from my camcorder, but cannot export the result in Xvid or DivX?
Yes it does.
I want to have the possibility to do a little more editing than I could do in QuickTime Pro. So what would be the suggested workflow for me without buying other software? Something like this?
What you can do is:
1) let iMovie '08 import the AVCHD to a an iMovie '08 Event Folder,
2) open the iMovie '08 Event Folder AIC/AIFF files in iMovie HD,
3) edit in iMovie HD,
4) and export the edited iMovie HD project as XviD or DivX.
Any editing done in iMovie '08 is done "by reference" and does not exist as a physical rendered file until or unless you output your iMovie '08 project by sharing or exporting. To do so is to simply go from one intermediate file to another which I assume is what you want to avoid. If you want to avoid this, simply open the AIC/AIFF file directly in iMovie HD as an HD project (AIC/AIFF files import as AIC/AIFF).

  • Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

    Hi everyone,
    Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
    When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
    In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text,  the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
    Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
    Thanks
    Wim

    create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
    updating that field with the new comments  (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
    Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

  • How do I create a product or item database so I can search fr the product and its files with hte pro

    How do I create a product or item database so I can search for the product and its files with the products name or four digit code

    Ok so I made some progress on this. I have figured out, that I can add a chained "add to cart" to certain items, then when they click the button for Buy now, it will add both items to the cart. However, this would require me to manually build each product page and generate a custom button for each one with both product IDs in it.
    Can anyone offer help on how to put some JS in that would append a second function to the onclick function that BC Generates dynamically?
    For the products that require a set up fee, I would assume I would add in to either the product templates or in to the item description some JS that would find the onclick of the buynow button and append a second function to also add to cart the setup fee product. The end result being code that looks like this:
    <input type="submit" class="productSubmitInput" onclick="AddToCart(188536,6314368,'',4,'','',true);AddToCart(188536,6314367,'',4,'','',tr ue);return false;" value="Buy Now" name="AddToCart_Submit" />
    Except of course, the product ID on the first AddToCart would be the main product with the second one being the one appended.
    Does any of that make sense? lol

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in earlier versions there is only one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Can't export to DivX AVI

    I am using a product called EyeTV to encode television programs onto my MAC. Afterwards I am given the option of compression. One of those options is DivX AVI. When I choose this I get the following error:
    "The currently installed DivX AVI component is unsupported (6.0.5).
    Please visit http://www.divx.com for the latest update."
    I already have DivX installed. Why can't I export to DivX. Would upgrading to DivX Pro solve this?

    I already have DivX installed. Why can't I export to DivX. Would upgrading to DivX Pro solve this?
    More than likely the EyeTV option searches for the DivX 6 encoder (which, as you postulated, is a separate component included with DivX Pro) to perform the actual encoding of the file and found your limited free trial period had elapsed.

  • In CS3 can I export my audio and save it to a CD?

    Does anyone have experience exporting audio only to some file format and burning to CD?
    Is it as simple as exporting AUDIO only as wav and burning the wave file thru WMP?
    Message was edited by: Wes Cox

    Yes. Export as Export Audio only. Check that Multiplexing is set to "None," which should be the default with the Export Audio ONLY checked. Then choose PCM WAV 48KHz 16-bit. This will create a WAV file, where you tell PrPro to locate it. This will be file that can be burned to a CD as data. If you want the full CD-Audio (CDA), Audition, Soundbooth, or the free, Audacity, can convert this to the CDA format, at 44.1KHz (CDA standard), and can burn to a CD-Audio. Do not know about Soundbooth, or Audacity, but Audition can even structure your CD-Audio with tracks, if you have more than one file.
    Good luck,

  • Can (CS5) Export to PDF and Compress all Images ?

    Using CS5, I have a "Book" with 12 chapters, and a total of about 800 color images. The goal is to export it as one PDF file that will be viewed on screens, not sent to a printer.
    When I did export to PDF , the file size was enormous: about 240 MB.
    I want this file to be much -- much! -- smaller sized (in terms of MB).
    I have all the images at different resolutions -- from 72 dpi to 220 dpi --  and I do not need the higher resolutions.
    What is the best way to approach this problem? ...
    --Is there a way to set Indesign to compress all the images during the export ?
    --Or can Photoshop be used to "batch" compress all the images to 72dpi ?
    --Or is there some other method that I can't even imagine.
    Thanks very much !
    Zorba

    Look in the Export to PDF Dialog. In the "Compression" panel, you can set a maximum allowed dpi -- any image with a value above the "above" value will be downsampled to the "to" value.
    This only works on bitmap images; if you have placed large vector images, there is no way to automatically decrease their size.

  • Can I export by year and drop images into subfolders by month?

    I'm somewhat new to Lightroom, coming over from Aperture.
    Is there a way to export all of my catalogue files by Year>Month.  There are about 3 years worth of images there.
    So the top folder would be Year (the year the image was created) and inside that folder would be 12 folders, one for each month.  This is something I do in Aperture at the end of the year, before archiving my images.
    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    Try making a direct shortcut to the Organizer and then the Editor.
    You should then be able to drag and drop on to the desktop icon.
    On Windows right click on the desktop and select New >> Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    Inside the Adobe >> Photoshop Elements Organizer (yellow folder) you are looking for an application file “PhotoshopEementsOrganizer” with six small icons (e.g. representing thumbnails - could be different in PSE5 but look for the exe file)
    Select it and click OK
    Click next
    Rename by taking out Photoshop Elements leaving just the word Organizer
    Then click finish
    You should now be able to launch directly form the desktop by double clicking on the icon.
    You can set up a similar direct link to the Editor application.
     

  • How can I export a video and keep the date?

    When I export the video and import it again, it changes the date to the date of today. It doesn't happen with the photos, only with videos.
    I changed the dates of a lot of videos and then re-imported them again, I realised I lost all my work of editing.
    Thanks,

    You can only modify the File Created date with a 3rd party application after you export it to the Desktop.  Video files do not have EXIF field that image files do so can't be modified by iPhoto or Photos.  What I do is rename the file with the date created and a brief description like:  2005-01-08-LaHanbraSpain.mov
    You can do that with one of the Automator/Applescripits that léonie has posted in the User Tips section:Photos for Mac
    Photos for Mac: Batch Change the Descriptions
    Then export the original out with the option File Name = Title

    Scope?
    I'dd like to export an Indesign-file (.indd) to a PDF-file that has to be:
    - the smallest possible file size
    - which displays images and text sharp on the screen
    - which also certainly remain transparent parts of .psd-files after exporting
    - that is flattened for easy print

    ▪ How and with which of settings can I export such a file from InDesign 5.0?
    ▪ If necessary in combination with some settings (after exporting) in our Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?
    Further explanation
    The export file contains lots of text, graphics, photographs and drawings. Many of these items are .psd-files that contain transparent areas. The intention is that this transparent parts actually remain transparent even after exporting/flattening /decreasing the PDF.
    ▪ With InDesign 5.0?
    → In the window Export Adobe PDF: (images see: http://www.logicontrol.be/gallery/documents/help-eng.pdf )
    Should I start from a default PDF preset   (if yes > which one??)
    Possibilities are: High Quality Print / PDFX-1a: 2001 / PDFX-3:2002 / PDFX-4:2007 / Press Quality / Smallest File Size
    Or is it better to create a PDF preset on my own?     (if yes > which settings??)
    Standard > PDF/X-format?
    Compatibility > PDF-version?
    Compression > If artwork should be compressed and downsampled, and if so,
                            which method and settings to I have to use ?

  • Can I export PSD layers to PSD files like I could do in ImageReady 2?

    Hi Folks,
    I've been chasing this Layer Export Nirvana for a couple of years now but I've got nowhere.
    In ImageReady 2 I could import a PSD file and export layers with exactly the name I used for each layer (with no annotations, prefixes or suffixes), with the entire file size (not cropped to the edge of the image) in a PSD format.
    The script in Photoshop adds extenions to the file name that I can't see how to turn off.
    I've tried a couple of free (SciptsRus) and commercial (Ferry) scripts but they don't seem to work with my version of Photoshop (Mac CS5 OS X 10.7.4). Is this a result of the recent Javascript updates with Mac OS X 10.7? I'll contact the authors of these scripts next and see what they say.
    I tried a PC program called Super Layer which exports to PNG files and almost was what I wanted except it cropped the file size to the size of the image. I could get away with this I suppose if I copied a 1% single pixel into each corner of the file but that would be time consuming for all the layers I need to export (500-600) and means I'd have to rasterise the type layers which is also double handling.
    I've even tried Graphic Converter on a Mac but can't get that to quite work. I end up with solid white backgrounds and no transparency.
    All I want is to open a PSD file (preferably on Mac OS) and export each layer at the same size on a transparent background with just the name of the layer as the file name as a PSD file. I'll alos accept .PNG format as well as long as I get transparency and full file size. Just like we could do with brilliant effeiciency with ImageReady CS2. I've actually kept an old version of ImageRady on my PC for just this purpose but surely in the 21st Century there is a way around this?
    Many thanks in anticipation for any help offered.

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with some of the scripts. Normally this is due to the prefferences becoming corrupt. They can be trashed to see if all then works..
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
    I have also written a new script yesterday that includes adjustments layers if the exist, so that may work for you?

  • How can I export or convert to AVI file for use on PC?

    I know I did this back in Jan 2009 but can't remember the process to get an AVI file that retains the sound. I thought I exported a SWF and then somehow converted it to an AVI.
    *The file:*
    *Retains sound, builds and movement.*
    *Automatically advances, using "control p" to pause (did not retain the click-to-advance feature).*
    I've been reviewing third party software but they seem to all state that the won't retain the sound/builds etc.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    The simplest way is to export as QT and then open the QT using Quick Time Player. If you've got pro you can export as .avi.
