  • Problem importing video compressed with XviD MPEG-4

    Posted by Robert Osada on December 14, 2005 at 11:44 pm

    Hi!

    I have some videos rendered from 3dsmax with XviD MPEG-4. I can play them with Media Player, but when i try to import them into Premiere i see only a black box (and some noise)… Is something missing?

    Thanks a lot

    Robert

    Premiere doesn’t do Mpeg4/Divx, you will have to use something to convert to DV AVi

    I should have said “Doesn’t Edit”, it will export a project to Divx if the codec is present.

    Virtual Dub will work perfectly.

    Make sure you have your matrox codec and your xvid codecs loaded onto the same machine and then open your original file, then save as, choose your target codec, click save, and come back later…

    There’s a batch converter (Job Control) as well if you need it.

    Virtual Dub works REALLY well, and hasn’t failed me yet. It’s VERY processor intensive, so leave your computer alone as it’s possible to lose audio sync if you do other stuff on your computer.

    Forgot this wasn’t the Matrox forum…

    Virtual Dub
    Load your Xvid codec and your target codec (Microsoft DV, etc.) and then proceed.
