Procoder 2.0 and Divx extension

[truestep37]

Hi,

I am encoding a source quicktime file into Divx but when I create the file it gives me an AVI extension. E.G. "filename".avi.

Is there a way in the target menu to make the files end in DivX.

Note I am selecting DivX from the Target menu as to what code to encode too. So I am not sure why it puts the avi extension on the file

Your AVI will be compressed with DivX codec that came with Procoder. No worry.

If you wanna check, look at the file info. Open the output in VirtualDub and check on file info - you'll see it's DivX alright.

Plus you'll be able to play it in the DivX player that came with Procoder.

Les,

Thanks for the response but without giving you a long explanation I need the file to render out with the Divx Extension. I can't have it with the avi extension and I am not using vistual dub i am using procoder 2.0

Have you tried simply renaming the output file with either a .DIV or DIVX extension?

I have tried the later of those two.

Unfortunately I won't be able to try div until monday. Any other suggestinos or do you know of any programs that will encode with the divx extension

[anonymez]

are you simply after the divx extention or the divx container (an avi hack, allows menus, chapters, subs, etc)?

but without giving you a long explanation I need the file to render out with the Divx Extension

give a short one then

We are currently trying to launch media files (DivX) via a web page that will open in an appropriate media player (ie. DIVX Player). As the PC's which will be using this application are restricted and not allowed any client software (codecs excepted), we need a player that can be launched via the web without any client software installed (ie. DIVX WebPlayer).
The files currently play fine when launched using the Client Software, however, when the same files a launched using the WebPlayer we experience the play back loop at the end of the file which crashes the current IE session.

Have you considered getting the clients to either DL the Xvid codec or ffdshow and playing the darn thing in anything - WMP, for example?

Of course, Media Player Classic will also play it.

Hi,

we can play in windows media player but we are not allowed to.
