Xvid Sux

I dont get it. Why do ppl have xvid and 3vix or whatever its called. Why not just have divx ??. I downloaded a movie called undercover brother and its a screener. I have tried and tried to convert it into mpeg and it just doesnt work. I downloaded all the codecs and the only player that would play it is quiktime and that was with no sound!!!!

I managed to rip the audio into wav and then ripped the video ad then converted it into vcd and quess what ?? the audio is out. I have tried many months to get this going but im tsarting to think the original is out of sync to. I cant even find a player that will play the video + sound its always just video or just sound.

God damnit why not just use divx instead. its not like these other codecs compress better.

I have downloaded so many different codecs its not funny. Usually i can convert a movie into vcd as piss as pie but these xvid ones are just retarded. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Take an aspirin. Just because you can't convert it to mpeg doesn't mean it sucks. List your codecs, which players, what encoding programs, and your system specs and you'll probably get a solution. "I downloaded all the codecs" is not specific enough.

actually they can compress better than divx and xvid is more stable than divx meaning sometimes when u play a divx movie it gets stuck and usually this happens in a old comp. but it happens in new comps too. sometimes it is tedious to get all the codecs working but we have to look at the big picture even if u dont get the codec to work everybody else will so cuz of one persons problem we cant stop compressing movies the better way.

Try VideoLAN for playing the file.

btw, you might have to decompress the audio into PCM.

yes xvid is more stable and once you have a good working xvid codec then encoding has no problems. there are alot of xvid codecs with errors.
for example the nimo codec pack has a crappy xvid codec from my experience.

Read this and see if it helps you to convert Xvid to Divx.
Good to know

install the codec pack this guy is using. first be sure to uninstall
the codec pack you already installed.

i've had bad problems with xvid freezing...

i think k-lite codec pack helps it

use gspot(it's in the k-lite codec pack) it will tell you if you have the right codecs installed.


Here's a link to download gspot seperately

http://www.headbands.com/gspot

but it doesnt seem to work at the moment.

I download version 2 of the pack and it still doesnt work... Would i have to install quiktime ??

gspot sais its an unrecognizable file :(

:unsure:

Try videoLAN or open it using VirtualDUB and see if there are any bad frames.

people use Xvid coz its better quality then divx

The best codec pack I've come across is SLD Codec Pack

uh... no they're not. :huh:

XviD rules. its image quality and motion-handling are excellent, and it's no wonder that so many people rip movies with XviD.

The file you have is possibly corrupted.

Try opening it with a program like VirtualDub.

in the latest k-lite codec pack, there are two different versions/builds of Xvid, just wondering which ones you guys have installed/prefer?

I think im just gonna have to redownload it again. When i open it up with virtuadub i get the error

"The avi file doesnt have a movie datat block (movi)!"

and when i try open it up with videolan i get illegal operation error (xp versions :( )

but it must be something because when i open it up with tmpgenc, i can convert it into mpeg but with no freakin sound and i have this other prog that i can rip the audio with but then when i open the original movie in tmpgenc and then choose the ripeed wav for the audio, the output file is all outta sync. Like at the begining it would be fine and by the end of the movie its out like 4 seconds.

I actually whatched the whole movie like that to see if there are any glitches in the movie causing the audio problem but the movie is perfect.

Thanks for your help guys but i know this is one movie i will never convert over :(

Well this file anyways :rolleyes:
