All right, I need to figure out how to do good conversions to DivX and Xvid on this Mac. Quicktime won't even do it right ... the version of Divx I have there is broken, nothing works on it. I think they took all the capability out of it to force me to use MPEG-4. Which doesn't give much compression bang for the filesize.
No advice from PC users please ... Mac users give me some advice here.
Right now I'm downloading the Create bundle ... again ... from divx.com and I'll let you know how that goes.
ADDENDUM - Downloaded. Installed. Found a serial #. Their Divx creator is a little doodad with no apparent functionality. Christ, I hate this crap! They design it to look simple, have no buttons, like we're idiots and are impressed by that. If we're creating videos, we don't want cute doodads, we want programs that work. It lets me select a few presets, and there is a "custom" setting that I can't customize. I click Preferences and nothing happens.
Well ... once I ask it to encode something it does seem to be letting me specify settings now. I just hate this cutesy crap.
ADDENDUM - Well, this is slow. Like, 5 hours for 5 minutes slow. Hm. Then again, I was asking it to really compress the hell out of this video.
Still could use some Xvid advice ... Xvid conversion for Mac. I have FFmpeg and a few others which have never worked right for me for most things.
