Exporting AVI DivX Files on MAC
Hi,
I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere and stil stumple across an old problem. I am working on MAC in ProRes422 and need to export my final edits to an AVI in DivX Codec.
I have a bunch of encoders tested and none worked. Media Encoder doesnt even offer AVI, Squeeze offers AVI via QT-Export but doesn’t work with the DivX Codecs. The only thing that comes close to working is MPEG Streamclip but still the settings I can choose are minimal and the encodes suck.
Is it really such a hassle to encode to AVI/Divx on MAC. Which workflows do you use, and tipps for other encoders or do I have to encode these formats on Windows?Thanks for any help in advance,

yes.
you’ll need to get it done on a PC.

But I always have to ask, why Divx and not H.264?

Some DVD players and other devices play DivX natively… only thing I can think of.
DivX is just a version of MPEG4-2. Karim, have you tried exporting an MP4 file from Premiere and re-wrapping it to AVI (I assume the Mac version of MPEG Slipstream can do this) and testing compatibility with your player?
Alternately DivX and Xvid both come with Quicktime encoders, why not encode them to MOV and rewrap to AVI?
