    No. But why would you want to change a movie to a different codec?

      Hi

      Im a biginner video editor and most of my footages are compressed with divx which is not welcome for DV editing applications.

      I have to re-render the footage with the new codec assign to it and like you can guss it can take the whole day if im doing it with Premiere or ultradev without the option even to network rendering.

      Any suggestion how can I reduce the render time?

      Thanks

        Welcome to firum Samifox,

        You could use AVISynth. Install AVISynth and in notepad, type the following:

        AVISource("c:\Temp\My_DivX_Movie.avi")


        Change the location and the file name to what matches your situation.
        Now feed this into your DV encoding app.
        You will loose the least amount of quality this why

        Good luck

            Sorry, I wasn't clear.

            When you create that text in notepad, save the file with a *.avs extension.....eg movie.avs


            Most apps would treat this avs as if it was an AVI even though its a few bytes in size. AVISynth is VERY powerfull if you take some time to read the documention
            good luck
