| greets all,
Having a few problems encoding Divx video. I've been in video for a while but am
relatively new at using Divx.
First, I'm exporting out of Premiere pro 1.5. Am using Divx version 5.2.0 encoder.
When I export using the 1-pass encoding method, I get pretty nice looking Divx
compositions. No problems there.
It changes when I go to Multipass, 1st pass or Multipass, Nth pass.
When trying to encode using Multipass, 1st pass, I'll get an output video .avi,
however, it won't play and causes an error with my player, causing the player to shut
down (I'm using WMP 10).
The same happens when trying to use Multipass, Nth pass. Get an output file but it
doesn't want to play and crashes the player.
Another thing that concerns me is cross-platform compatibility. For example, a DivX
file that I create and export on my primary machine plays perfectly fine on that
machine. But if I port it over to another machine (which has the DivX codec
installed), I get very unpredictable results. Sometimes the screen in garbled with
"colored noise." Sometimes there's no sound ... or there' good sound but the picture
freezes or lags severely.
Take this in contrast with the fact that I have downloaded a number of DivX "control"
movies from the internet that play absolutely fine in any machine I might play them
on. Wha't going on? Thanks
Franklin
