DivX wont render

[Blast1]

If you are trying to edit and render Divx on the timeline, it doesn’t, Divx is only considered as a export type.

Best thing to do before trying to work with a particular format is to look in the help files for usuable file types.

For watching, not for editing.

[Harm Millaard] “For watching, not for editing.”

Or for watching someone try to edit it 😉

That made laugh out loud.
You are so correct.

Aha.. but why is it then possible to render with it if it?s not supposed to be used that way? If I render with e.g. cinepack (or what it´s called..) and have DivX installed, is the movie then “watched” (decoded?) with DivX?

What would you recommend that I render with? I have tried a few standard codecs but it?s always bad quality and large filesize, and very few options in the codec to change. When I have used DivX in AE, which don?t always work (dunno when it works and when it doesn?t work) I have gotten good resaults. High quality and low filesize.

Is Xvid used for rendering or only for watching?..

Just to recap, Divx, MPEGs & Flash type files are all meant for delivery purposes (people to view) not edit. However, can you edit them, of course, just not frame accurate or PQ suffers. Can you convert them, of course, same issues. With proper plugins and codec (encoders and decoders) installed, you should be able to do so.

so, Numsen, why are you not able to render them out? My suspicion, if you do have the proper encoders installed, is that you are going into the wrong place to render (in PPro CS3, for example, you have render via Media Encoder, render movie… so confusing). Best wish.
