Rendering : DivX Codec

[petle]

tjena nicke79!

vad kör du för os? jag kör win2k och jag får alltid markera rutan där codecen visas och trycka på piltangenterna upp och ner för att växla codec.

hoppas att det var till hjälp..

// English
What os do you use? I run win2k and i always have to mark the textbox there the codecs are shown and press the arrow buttons to change the codec....

This is what CgT is all about: learning tips and tricks, troubleshooting everything CG AND learning a new language at the same time! Very cool. Thanks for providing translations in your threads so others know what's going on.

Cheers!:beer:

Thanks for the tip!

I've had this prob ever since I installed XP. Works like a charm now, which I'm very glad about, not only because DivX is a much better codec, but also because it compresses much faster than the cinepak one. I'm working on a long, but geometrically very simple clip atm, so when rendering to the cinepac codec, two thirds of the rendering time for each frame was used by the compressor. After reading this post, it renders at half the time.

i feel the need to chime in here and give some advice: do not render to avi/mov/any-other-type-of-movie-files.

reasons for this:

1. if a render crashes, power goes out, computer catches on fire, whatever, you lose everything rendered up to that point

2. if you plan to do any post work on your animation, you don't want to be working with source footage that is already compressed a bit (or alot)

what you SHOULD do is render to a TGA sequence, then run that through your compositing package of choice (afterfx, combustion, digital fusion, etc), add your effects, etc and THEN, at the last moment, render to an avi or whatever you like. this way if u decide you need a .mov or an .avi using another codec you don't recompress something because u have the original uncompressed footage to work with :)

just a few thoughts :beer:

Capn_Panic: Good input. Still sequences are always prefered for anything that will actually be used.

However, the problem now solved was horribly annoying, because I often want to render a test (not to mention preview) and be able to look at it right away. That's where I use compressed video.
