Quicktime divx/xvid Component

I recently purchased QT7 Pro for Windows so I could encode in H.264 faster due to it taking quite long on my 1.33 G4. However, after I bought it I found I could not view divx/xvid encoded files. I thought no problem, I'll just do what I did on the Powerbook and download the component. Yet, I went searching for one and I could not find one. I am disappointed because many of my files are encoded in this and I want to re encode them so I can stream them using DSS. Is there anyway to view divx/xvid files in QT7 Pro on Windows? Could I install the divx/xvid codecs and copy over some DLL's or some other file for decoding purposes? Thanks for any help.

Why has Apple done absolutely nothing to correct the Safari crashing/hanging problem? I have always loved my Mac computers. We have 3 in my home now, but if they continue to do nothing to resolve this problem, I may jump ship. If they are release something so lousy, they might as well work for Dell instead of ruining Apple's good name.
I--we shouldn't have to keep deleting files and such weeks after they release such shoddy software. Their is a reason we mac addicts pay more for Mac products. We think they are superior to other computers, but they are going to quickly go the way of the U.S car makers if this continues.
I'm sure this will be deleted immediately. Shouldn't they be focusing on correcting the software problems, rather than silencing those who complain, and having the buyer of their product putting bandaids on their browser?

Error loading QT/DivX 5 component

In the console log I am seeing multiple errors of the type below but sent from Finder, Messenger, Loginwindow, Safari and iPhoto.
Clearly I am missing a DivX component/plugin for QT but I can't find a copy of DivX that runs on a Powerbook G4 running 10.5.8 - the latest version is Intel-only.
Are these messages significant? As far as I know I don't use or need DivX - can I get rid of it?

IMovie to MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid)

What is the best way to convert iMovie to MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format??
To answer this question helps if you are familiar with YouTube. I have uploaded to youtube all sort of formats form Quicktime but the video is compressed by youtube and therefore the quality deteriorates. Youtube suggests to "specifically" the files extensions I am mentioning. The following is from their website:
We [Youtube] specifically recommend the MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format.
Any help?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

the QTengine includes a mpeg4 en-/decoder...
but for the specifications of the the mentioned formats, you have to buy plug-ins at
www.3vix.com or www.divx.com plug-ins.
or, you use an open source encoder plug-in, as the Xvid Codec
or, you use 3rd party encoders as ffmpeg
there are more tools claiming to generate Xvid codecs, as Mencoder, D_Vision, etc, but no hands-on experiences here...
helpful?

How can I import and edit Divx/Xvid codec .avi files?

Recently I changed of computer, I had Premiere CS3 in Windows and now I have CS4 in Mac. The problem is that in windows I could edit divx and xvid files, but now, when I try to import any divx/xvid file premiere has an error saying "UNSOPPORTED COMPRESSION IN FILE".
I have installed divx and xvid codecs on the Mac and I can watch those videos too, but Premiere doesn't accept them.
Any idea? Thanks

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

Can anyone help? I have downloaded and installed the QuickTime MPEG-2 Component but it doesn't work.

I purchased the QuickTime MPEG-2 component for Quicktime as I am using Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I want to be able to via MPEG-2 transport streams.
I paid £14.00 - everything downloaded and installed fine but it doesn't work and I am still unable to view the transport streams in Quicktime even though according to the website this is want the component will let me do.
I have rebooted several times, reinstalled both Quicktime and the MPEG-2 component and still nothing. I have then spent ages going around and around in circles on the website trying to find a way of emailing customer services or technical support to get some assistance but I just always end back in the same place no further forward.
Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!

1) Suggest you reread the "Feature" details for the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component paying particular attention to the paragraph titled "Can transport streams be played?" which clearly states that this codec does NOT support the playback of transport stream (TS) files.
2) This codec can only be used with "classic" QT apps such as the QT 7 player, GarageBand, or third-party apps like the free MPEG Streamclip app.
3) The VLC player intrinsically supports TS files. MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed supports TS file playback.
4) MPEG Streamclip with the QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installed can also resave muxed TS file content as muxed program stream (PS) content which is then "playback" compatible with both QT 7 and QT X players (assuming you select an audio compression format compatible with both) or convert the muxed TS content to QT "edit" compatible compression formats if desired.
Please can anyone else offer any suggestions - either how I can get it working or how I can get my £14 back from Apple!!
Apple seldom makes refunds to people who successfully purchase software which they do not really understand how to use—cavaet emptor. It is difficult to make suggestions here without knowing more about your personal preferences and/or work flow requirements. I personally would keep the codec to enhance various playback, conversion, and editing options on my Mac.

Extended video codec support on iPhone (DivX, XviD, etc)

When will the Apple add support for more widely used video codecs? E.g.
DivX
XviD
WMV
I know, I know H264 is a pretty darn good codec, but I do have quite a few flics in DivX and other formats and I don't wanna hassle with converting them.
The lack of video and audio (flac, ogg, wma) codec support is really a turn down!!

Divx and wmv are proprietary codecs.
Apple supports and uses open industry standards-such as
mpeg4/h.264.

After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component????

Hello,
I was wondering why this warning is coming up every time I open After Effects-
(After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component.)
It also reappears every time I go to a different program then back into After Effects.
I am currently on a-
MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.5
2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
After Effects CS3
Quicktime 7.5.5
GeForce 8600M GT
2 external storage drives (Western Digital, Lacie)
Matrox MX02
I just upgraded quicktime and this started appearing.
ANY IDEAS.

Sorry,
Here;s another. I have Quicktime Pro installed. I have CS3 installed. I also have AE v7 which runs a few plugins I am still thinking work in v7. CS3 runs OK but in version 7 it gives me the "Couldn't open Quicktime Video Output Component " notice. I had a client working in v7 so I tried to work in v7, it was a bad idea. I lost days of work and finally just went to CS3 to get the job done but couldn't use one anothers files between versions.
What can I do to get the AE v7 Couldn't open Quicktime video output component fixed. Make it simple if you can... I'm an artist.
Thanks

Couldn't open Quicktime video output component.

I was able to find 2 other posts in regards to the error. The one didn't have enough information to be answered and the other had a link to an apple page that no longer exists. Sorry for the repeat but I can't seem to find an answer that applies to me.
The "After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component." message appears when I open AFX and is waiting for me when I come back to it from another program. In AFX's Preferences window under Video Preview I have set my Output Device to Digital Cinema Desktop. No options ever show up in the Output Model drop down. As you can probably guess I am trying to get my second display to preview the composition full screen.
For other reasons, I just had to reinstall OSX (10.5.7). Then I installed Adobe Production Premium CS3 and the Final Cut Suite HD.
My computer is a 4 core Mac Pro with 7GB of memory. I don't have any Matrox hardware. Actually I don't have anything except the 2 DVI monitors, battery backup, analog speakers, mouse and keyboard plugged into the computer.
I have held down apple + option + shift while starting up AFX to reset the Preferences as well as replaced the DesktopVideoOut.component file with one from another working computer in the /Library/Quicktime folder finally I have tried Repairing Disk Permissions.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Benjamin: The Digital Cinema Desktop is a Final Cut feature, even if implemented as a Quicktime Video out component. As you can see (by the lack of options) is not really meant to be invoked from other applications which use standard Quicktime video out for external previews. That requires a device with a proper QT video out driver. You could use an inexpensive device, like a Blackmagic Intensity with an HDMI to DVI cable, to feed the second display.
Or you could just ask AE to play RAM previews at full screen, in which case you don't need to enable video previews at all. Together with the ability to take into account a calibrated display's profile, this should make for very high quality previewing on computer monitors.

I can't install Quicktime MPEG-2 Component in OS X Lion

Hi friends,
Today, I tryed install Quicktime MPEG-2 Component for use with software 'MPEG Streamclip'. I have a Macbook reformated and with OS X Lion.
But the system alert me: This component can't install in this system, it's for older operative system.
What's I can do?
I have a iMac, with OS X Lion too, but it's not fomated. Before it was installed MPEG-2 Component, and I can use software perfectly.
For example, Can I transfer codec MPEG-2 from iMac to Macbook? Where's installed codec in my iMac?
Thanks very much... and I'm sorry for my english...

You can do in the System Preferences pane, but there is another way: position the mouse pointer on the dividing line between files and applications and drag up or down.

Quicktime MPEG2 playback component

I've purchased and downloaded Quicktime MPEG2 playback component but I can not openend, the system says that Quicktime MPEG2.dmg is not recognized. Can anybody help me with this issue?. Thanks.

What app are you using to try and mount the image file? The default should be the DiskImageMounter.app application. If it is still the default app, then it sounds like the image file, the mounter app, or your system is corrupted. If not, then make it the default app for the DMG file class.

Trying to create Divx/Xvid MPEG-4

Have created a little video promoting our charity in Premiere Pro CS3 and am trying to get it onto a Digial Photo Frame to play when we do displays.
My problem is getting the video into a file format the DPF will accept. The rather limited instructions say it supports
"AVI (M-JPEG/MPEG-4/DIVX/XVID/), MPEG-1@VGA" and later it says
"DivX/Xvid MPEG-4 @640x480/2000kbps"
Am very much a beginner and have tried various export settings but the DPF doesn't recognise any of them. To be honest I'm rather faffing in the dark as I don't really know what the above means.
Would be very grateful to be pointed in the right direction.
Many thanks
(XP Pro windows)

Thanks Ann.
For anyone else reading this, instructions how to use divx in premiere are at http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/codec/guides/premiere.php
Still doesn't actually work on my digital picture frame, but having got this far I've gone back to the suppliers to see if they can help.

Quicktime MPEG 2 Component

Hello all,
I had to reinstall Tiger recently. I did an archive and install, so that all my prefs would carry across, and anything that didn't would still be in the previous system library. I noticed that a lot of Quicktime plugins fell into this latter category, and I had to copy them across into the new system folder. No problem so far.
But yesterday, when I tried to open a DVD .vob in MPEG Streamclip, which I had always been able to do previously, MPEG Streamclip told me it could open the .vob because the Quicktime MPEG 2 Component was missing. I went to the previous system folder, system/library/quicktime, and sure enough there was the aforementioned component. When i tried to copy it over, though, a dialogue came up with a choice to "authenticate" - but selecting that option did nothing.
I take it now (but correct me if I'm wrong) that this component is installed as part of Quicktime Pro when you have Final Cut Pro intalled on your machine. I do have FCP installed, and retained it of course when I did the archive and install. I've fired up FCP to see if it installs the MPEG 2 component in the current library, but no joy.
I know it's only 20 bucks to buy the QT MPEG 2 component from the Apple store, but I feel like that's a bit of a ripoff seeing as I paid a grand or so for FCS and the component should already be there.
Any tips for how to move QT MPEG 2 Component from my previous system library into the current one, or reinstall it given I have FCS/QT Pro?
Many thanks in advance.
Rob

Archive and Install is not an advisable way to reinstall your operating system. It's fine for things like iTunes but it could make more complicated apps like Final Cut Pro unstable.
It might be worth reinstalling Final Cut Studio:

Did it not ask you for an admin password?

How to COMPRESS to MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format for MAXIMUM YOUTUBE quality?

I'm sick of slaving away here on fcp to then upload stuff to Youtube and have it look like ***.
YouTube suggests uploading as MEG4 (Divx,Xvid) format.
Is there a simple setting for that format within Compressor 2? What about QT player (I don't have pro, only QT v7.2)
Any thoughts?

The consistently best looking stuff I've uploaded to YouTube has been from Compressor preset H.264 LAN.
I had tried the compress-to-flv route and that worked great, but then YouTube changed its format, so it was back to H.264 LAN...

DDTS-100 and Divx/Xvid files

Does the DDTS-100 have problems with DivX/Xvid files that are encoded with AC3?
Power DVD will pick up a true DD signal for a DVD, but if i convert to avi (divx) with the ac3 sound, it only uses Pro Logic II/Neo6. There isn't even the option in Power DVD to use spdif when playing an ac3 divx file.
Who here has the DDTS-100 and can play AC3 divx files fine with TRUE DOLBY DIGITAL?
Cheers.

Well this went down like a lead balloon.
If anyone else finds this, a solution is to convert the divx file to dvd vob files. The DDTS-100 will pick up the true digital signal if they are vob files, converted from divx with AC3 sound.
I use 'VSO divxtodvd', you can google a link.

New Creative Zen - DivX / XviD resoluti

Hey all,
I was just wondering what resolutions of divx / xvid are supported by the new creative Zen. I've got my eye on the 6gb model which looks absolutely ideal, however a key point for me is that i really do not want to be transcoing the movies i have on my computer due to the time and additional storage space which all this would require.
I know the zen vision m / w both handle reasonably high resolutions, up to VGA ish (640x480) on the same size screen (320x240 i think), but is this going to be the same for the new Zen?
Thanks for any information,
CJ

i believe the codecs specs is the same as zen vision m.
