reddog Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 I'm wanting to encode some large avi, and mpeg2 files into mpeg4 format but can't seem to find anything to acomplish this. I want to start doing vidoe editting so I bought vegas video only problem is it only offers mpeg2 format not mpeg4. Can some one point me in the right direction of some software or mabey a web page that would help me out. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morganpugh84 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 MPEG4 is DivX and XviD. Now DivX 5.x isnt free, however DivX 4.x is free (so is DivX 3.x but that is also illegal!). I would recommend you buy DivX Pro 5.1 (it is very good) or get a precompiled XviD binary (XviD is open source). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 You can use Windows Media Encoder 9 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...er/default.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pringlex Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 DivX 3 is illegal? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 DivX 3 is illegal? Why? Not illegal. It was created from code available on Microsoft Research site. Eventually, Microsoft decided to pull it off. But the code was already in public domain and DivX was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animaniac Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 You can use Windows Media Encoder 9http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...er/default.aspx Yay for companies who join standards groups just to mooch off technology and produce completely incompatible codecs. If you want a fully complaint MPEG4 file, use DivX 5 or XviD to encode the video. Then use Nero 6 to encode the MPEG4 AAC audio, then mux them together using MPEG4IP into an MP4 file.
