BTW... I got a program from my friend called Video Spell Changer. You run your video through it and it spell checks the video contents and fixes it for me. I may think spelling, grammar, and diction is stupid, but all my videos don't have to reflect that.
just depends what version of windows you have, if you run windows XP, try searching on google for SLD Codec Pack, or ACE Mega Codec Pack
if your on vista or windows 7, look for Morgan MJPG Codec Download
note that with ace mega codecs pack you can also use the Codec dashboard to load and unload codecs, for mjpg you only need the codec, you can untick the tray tool
@teamxjacobx read around the net for "codec packs" if your using xp you could try SLD Codec pack, or Ace Mega Codecs Pack, for vista and windows 7 just google "AIO codec pack" its bound to find something ;)
it doesn't come with vegas, its not made by sony or sonic foundry
you can iether search it on google and download it, or install XviD and it should then be in the XviD folder on the start menu, most xvid installers add the file :)
@luvletters2bevz it will update the original one, wich might stop it working in media player & vlc, but you can change it back later, it only changes the header of the avi (wich takes mear miliseconds) its not a long proccess like a conversion
I don't know yet if I actually have a problem with the video yet. My first issue is the audio track is 3X longer then the movie and and not successfully waited for it to load (pointless).
yeah i get that sometimes with avi's my self to, but mainly the 700mb xvid movies, some use a weird audio codec wich has a different playback rate
sadly most the time their i end up rendering the audio as a wav, then i drop the video back in (with build peeks off) and drag up the avi & bin the audio stream, then switch on build peeks and import the wav & line it up manualy with the video :(
it will do, most codecs allow playback of video (not real time editing) to edit them most require you to by the codec its self
now depending on who renderd the video, they may of mixed 2 incompatable codecs because of fps compaird to audio compression
when i had one that wouldn;t run in vegas i actualy used to export what i wanted out of windows movie maker (as PAL DV) this saved me loosing quality on the render, then that would drop into vegas
if it has no picture in movie maker (open it in media player and let media player aquire the codec then press stop on media player (but leave it open)
then drop it into movie maker and it should work ;)
i get that a lot, ive not looked for a solution for that yet, when i have that problem i normaly just drop it into movie maker and export as a WAV or MP3 then drop that in with the avi
movie maker (like media player) uses the net to use the codecs in real time, so its rare movie maker wont export audio
if it wont, open the video in media player and leave that open and drag it into movie maker and you should be able to save as an audio file, not a great solution but feasable for now ;)
Hi, anytime I tried to open Sony vegas you know they download bar at the bottom will get to initializing Directx Plug-ins and it will stop or freeze. Sony vegas will not pass that point or open at all. Please help me.
ive had a few red frames in a video wich ment the SD card the video came off had bad sectors, if its all red, the vids ither corrupt or the codec its self has problems, may need a newer version of the codec
vegas imports videos using frames cc changer opens video "header" as data IE if your having problems with "both" programs then you have pc problems (not just codec problems) thats like uninstalling quick time (then windows media player no longer works) its ilogicle & not possible not importing into vegas ide understand but not into the cc changer i dont understand that, unless its not a video, thats the only way the cc wouldn't open it (unless its a .DivX not a. avi)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I've been trying to get some videos to work for days now and you finally gave me the answer i had been looking for. Thanks again.
Down below the explorer window, in sony vegas 8 pro, it has Video: and Audio:
All attributes show up for audio no matter what avi it is, but for the Video: bit it just says "stream attributes could not be determined". AND HENCE THE NO VIDEO FEED OF DEATH.
i've tried CC changers and codecs. nothing works. Ideas?
yip gspot will say the codec is installed (because you can watch it) but theirs 2 options near the bottom with a (1) & (2)
were you can test the filters
thing is "most" codecs allow you to watch videos, if you want to edit them, sometimes you have to buy the codec so its got edit & compresion features enabled
i gather its a 700mb or 350mb avi ? lol
have you got divx 6 or higher ?
if you have 5.02 or that 5.1.1, it'll have problems
i used to love the sonic foundrey version 4, but having quick time 7 in made it start to go weird, by the time i got to QT version 7.4.5, then at 7.5.3 that killed it dead for using movs :'(
see media player files are intended to be played (not re-edited) their also designed to stream in packets down a network (internet)
they tend to use VBR (variable bitrate)
say you drop in a wmv & use a word from it in a video, you line up the word so the guy speeks, when ye exit and re-open it chances are the word is'nt lined up again
solution is to open wmv in movie maker & export as pal DV and use that file (its more stable when being decompresd)
It sril doesn't solve the WMM problwm. when you make an Xvid or Divx movie WMM and publish it in the .wmv formt, it pushes the video to the top half and puts green space at the bottom.
wmv is a pain & microsoft made it that way :'( what i tend to do with them is export them out of movie maker as an uncompressed pal DV avi & use that,
one tip with vegas (4 is in the options) (8 its on the view drop down) theirs an option to draw wav forms (if you sack that) it removes the preview from the actual time line, then drop preview window to draft & wmv run a little better (but not much) vegas accesses a video 3 times (timeline, preview, media bin) codec in use 3 times for one video
yip sometimes audio wont drop in (normaly) because its variable bitrate rather than constant, or sometimes its just due to a missing codec, i get a lot that wont build peeks & vegas hangs for a bit then it opens & i can hear it but have no peeks at all
vegas 8 opens most avi's & audio so if you spot it anywere snag it :)
you could scan the avi with that Gspot codec program (to get audio codec name) & see if you can get the codec as a seperate installer
ye i get what you mean, i should of clarified it in more detail
see videos (direct AVI's from a camera) they use a codec called MPJG (motion jpg)
the camra takes 30 pictures a second & saves them as an avi, the frame decompression rate (on cheep gfx cards) is prity deadly in certain editors (if its xvid or divx dont worry about the fps) because if its xvid or divx then its already been cropped & re-padded.
opening like 3200x2800 in MJPG format (on frame by frame view is deadly)
if you install the likes of SLD Codec Pack (latest) and ACE Megga codec pack, you get most filters & little programs (also you get a "Codec DashBoard" wich lets you tick & untick codecs (rather than having to install & uninstall) so you can have all codecs installed & unload em so apps will use what ye tell windows codec reg entries to allow :)
open up vegas then click "file" (were you save, import & render) so on file, scroll down to properties & click it (that box is for the current project) if you change those project settings to the same as the avi, when you drop the avi in (vegas wont change it) if you google search for an app called "Gspot codec" it'll bring up a video scanner wich gives all video information from a file, so you'll no the settings to use for vegas :)
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. I got tired of using Virtual Dub to make Uncompressed videos in WMM! Really Eats Up HDD too.
i no what ye mean lol, im working on a 3 hour movie thats gigs of camera avi's, i got lots of smaller hdd's but im on my 3rd PSU due to pushing the voltage with drives : / lol
Can you send me a message with a dummed version of this? You have all these places circled and what not of where to type stuff in, but how do we even get there???
you just download the avi program (look for it with an internet search engine like google or yahoo or something)
then download it, double click it, when it opens (browse to the avi with the browse button) once the avi is open, it'll say in them 2 boxes what the avi is, type in the boxes then click apply & exit & its done
do you wish to edit an actial image in the frame or like just change the frames playback limit (nose on google) phrases like
FREE frame limit ajuster Download
FREE AVI Frame Changer download
diffrent phrases, ive found a few od things in the past, like the app i used in this video is a frame editor, but theirs so many ways a frame can be "edited" so questions need to be more specific :)
the other music is "Take me Away" from the epicon album, theirs 2 music companies that make music for movies & movie previews "X-ray Dog" and "Imediate Music" their realy good (but hard to come by) they only sell to studios, take me away was a public recording with lyrics, based on "armed by faith" from x-ray dog
Immediate Music first came out with "Armed by Faith" (no lyrics) on their album 'Themes for Orchestra and Choir', and just last year [or so] Globus released their album Epicon with "Take Me Away"- which is what you heard in the movie.
X-Ray Dog has absolutely nothing to do with Immediate Music.
if you read around the net you'll find info about 1 of the composers (from x-ray dog)working with immediate music (to release a public based album) essentialy a few sits say it was a colaberation
I got LG viewty phone as my DIVX capture device, when I input the video in to Vegas 8. The screen show up perfectly, but the audio track is gone. ( i can play this video on other player with sound)
I had tried to use ur method with the CC changed to DIVX and Vegas still can not get the sound out from the video.
I could not figure out how to import my divx for edit....
you may need to install the audio codec manualy, see when you run vids in media player, media player aquires the codec & the license to play it (to play a video with a codec is generaly free) but to make or edit (using that codec, it can cost) your best bet is to do a google for a prog called "G-Spot Codec" its free, that'll scan the video & actualy name the codec used, then try & get this codec & manualy install it
1 trick that sometimes works, sometimes if you open the video in media player and let it play a little then press stop (leave media player open so codec is registerd as a running prosses) and load the same video into "windows movie maker" if it loads in, render as Uncompressed pal or NTSC "DV" with no compression (and it'll export with its original quality :) also you can tweek codecs by installing a thing called "Direct Show Filter" file name like DDF-01042008 or DFF-
if its MP3 chances are its "LAME" its an MP3 codec, you can get "lame MP3" from a few sites, do a google for it :) sometimes you can get an exe install or a DLL file & a TXT file, you put the DLL into a folder then use (start/run) and a regserve command to register the dll with windows, google should find it & show how to intall it :)
Note that some divx 5 and 5.2 files have corrupt audio headers & cant be decompressed
i tried installing k-lite codec today, it is worse, after installing k-lite, i can not even drag and drop the video to vegas.
so i uninstalled it and installed the new DIVX codec and back to stage 1. (btw, i try using winavi to convert to mp4, after that video work perfect on vegas... just not the smartest way and annoying, but work)
codecs are such a pain, if you do a google the words
Super(c) Video Converter
its free, that does almost anything to anything, can be handy :)
also i can save you hours on rendering movies for youtube :)
render out of vegas as 320x240 MOV (uncompressed mov video & audio) it'll be about 1 gig for 10 min video (but export is dead fast cos its not compressing) then put a pro serial in quick time and open mov, hit file then export using quick time, compresses dead fast :)
you could use something like (Total Recorder) to recoard the audio (while the vids playing in media player) then use that wav & the video together to make a new video, if you have a "Creative Labs sound card" they come with an audio recorder if you install it from the driver cd
ps
i dont have my own net anymore so some replies take a few days :'(
I went from fraps' avi to virtualdub and compressed the raw avi using ffdshow codec..afterwards virtualdub wont take the outputed avi, this method of yours didn't trick virtualDub it seems =[
wmv is a nightmare for re-editing, if you have XP pro, sometimes its easier, depends on the codecs you have installed
wmv is essentialy licenced for playback & render (not re-render) vegas hates wmv as its trying to decompress them in real time & their kinda like variable bittrate mp3's :'(
1 handy buy is a Tv-video-IN card, as they come with codecs on the card (so its hardware renderd rather than software renderd) less legal restrictions on the decompression filters ;)
i can belive maybe one got destroyd (but if you DONT back up a file before you mess with it, then thats outright stupidity) ALWAYS back up anything before you mess with it
as for spanish, no chance, unless it wasn't a real AVI (as in JUST an avi) it could of been one of them stupid compo pack avi's wich has sub files built in (to wich thats not realy an avi, its a kinda rar named as avi) "like comic CBR files"
iether way, this video trick works (all my airwolf was XviD)
1st track is from iether "NICO" or "Hard To Kill" an old steven segal movie, next track is "Take Me Away" from the "Globus" Album, a public compliation of music from "Immediate Music" and "X-Ray Dog" (they normaly Only do trailer music for movies) its basicly X-ray dogs "Armed With Faith" but with lyrics, last peice is striaght out of "Stealth" :D
yip, importing to many 350mb avi's makes it wobble a lot, its best use is to cut it into chunks with a video trimmer & only import the chunks you need, ive only got a 256mb video card my self & an athlon 2000 (not a great pc) but this trick works for me

MyDeathMagnetic 2 years ago
both the same realy
i would say XviD is better with sizes though
but... depending on your xvid
(IE, if you have all kinds of codec packs installed) then using xvid could be an old one, wich can cause some folks problems
find the 1.3 "or newer" xvid & use that

red normaly means that the video is corrupt
IE, some SD Camera cards (when slightly dammaged) the corrupt sections show up as red frames (wich can also mean its not a real video)

read the gSpot comment below :)

i should also note that you probably
need divx 5.1.1 (or higher)

but is it registerd ?
as in enterd a serial to purchase the codec ?

amazingagain 3 years ago 3
the reason for long text is some people will get this on a dial up connection, when a dial up streams its much lower quality & very blocky
normaly when something is bufferd or re-renderd you loose quality as an item apears
IE, the text comes on but takes time to apear clearly, quicktime renders per pixel
IE
a basic 10 min video can be 64mb on high res
a 10 min video with loads of effects can be 200+mb on highres
essentialy
some frames get more pixel priority during render :D

yip gspot will say the codec is installed (because you can watch it) but theirs 2 options near the bottom with a (1) & (2)
were you can test the filters
thing is "most" codecs allow you to watch videos, if you want to edit them, sometimes you have to buy the codec so its got edit & compresion features enabled
i gather its a 700mb or 350mb avi ? lol
have you got divx 6 or higher ?
if you have 5.02 or that 5.1.1, it'll have problems
TheWraith 3 years ago
also unless divx is registerd that may also not allow it to work on importing
you no when you play avi's in windows media player, do they show the water mark on the bottom corner for a few seconds ?
if the option to turn that off is grey'd out then its the freebie bundle of divx
maybe able to fix that watermark depending on what divx you have
but ye kinda need a full install of 5.1.2 or higher
XviD 1.3b is mpg4 and 5.1.1 & lower has problems decompressing it

It works even on Vegas 8-pro... Erase the Xvid, & then type in both boxes DivX, then apply and wallah!!!
Thanks The Wraith!

ive started using that vegas 8 pro to :D
i used to love the sonic foundrey version 4, but having quick time 7 in made it start to go weird, by the time i got to QT version 7.4.5, then at 7.5.3 that killed it dead for using movs :'(
codecs & the windows codec merit system sucks lol

So you cant use .wmv on it?
Halo3Tricksterz 3 years ago
you can but it stutters like a cow : /
see media player files are intended to be played (not re-edited) their also designed to stream in packets down a network (internet)
they tend to use VBR (variable bitrate)
say you drop in a wmv & use a word from it in a video, you line up the word so the guy speeks, when ye exit and re-open it chances are the word is'nt lined up again
solution is to open wmv in movie maker & export as pal DV and use that file (its more stable when being decompresd)
TheWraith 3 years ago
It sril doesn't solve the WMM problwm. when you make an Xvid or Divx movie WMM and publish it in the .wmv formt, it pushes the video to the top half and puts green space at the bottom.

wmv is a pain & microsoft made it that way :'( what i tend to do with them is export them out of movie maker as an uncompressed pal DV avi & use that,
one tip with vegas (4 is in the options) (8 its on the view drop down) theirs an option to draw wav forms (if you sack that) it removes the preview from the actual time line, then drop preview window to draft & wmv run a little better (but not much) vegas accesses a video 3 times (timeline, preview, media bin) codec in use 3 times for one video
TheWraith 3 years ago
ok good because I have a 200fps Xvid video
Leafblower29 3 years ago
yip sometimes audio wont drop in (normaly) because its variable bitrate rather than constant, or sometimes its just due to a missing codec, i get a lot that wont build peeks & vegas hangs for a bit then it opens & i can hear it but have no peeks at all
vegas 8 opens most avi's & audio so if you spot it anywere snag it :)
you could scan the avi with that Gspot codec program (to get audio codec name) & see if you can get the codec as a seperate installer
TheWraith 3 years ago
But at 5:56 it said it had to be 25.47 fps or 29.97 fps.
Leafblower29 3 years ago
ye i get what you mean, i should of clarified it in more detail
see videos (direct AVI's from a camera) they use a codec called MPJG (motion jpg)
the camra takes 30 pictures a second & saves them as an avi, the frame decompression rate (on cheep gfx cards) is prity deadly in certain editors (if its xvid or divx dont worry about the fps) because if its xvid or divx then its already been cropped & re-padded.
opening like 3200x2800 in MJPG format (on frame by frame view is deadly)
TheWraith 3 years ago
damn it worked only by a half bcoz i have no sound.

Wait a sec! will it work with a 1280x1024 res Avi file?
Leafblower29 3 years ago
works with any res file :D
if you install the likes of SLD Codec Pack (latest) and ACE Megga codec pack, you get most filters & little programs (also you get a "Codec DashBoard" wich lets you tick & untick codecs (rather than having to install & uninstall) so you can have all codecs installed & unload em so apps will use what ye tell windows codec reg entries to allow :)
TheWraith 3 years ago
But it has to be a certain framerate?
Leafblower29 3 years ago
secret to frame rates is vegas "project settings"
open up vegas then click "file" (were you save, import & render) so on file, scroll down to properties & click it (that box is for the current project) if you change those project settings to the same as the avi, when you drop the avi in (vegas wont change it) if you google search for an app called "Gspot codec" it'll bring up a video scanner wich gives all video information from a file, so you'll no the settings to use for vegas :)
TheWraith 3 years ago
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. I got tired of using Virtual Dub to make Uncompressed videos in WMM! Really Eats Up HDD too.
Leafblower29 3 years ago
i no what ye mean lol, im working on a 3 hour movie thats gigs of camera avi's, i got lots of smaller hdd's but im on my 3rd PSU due to pushing the voltage with drives : / lol

Can you send me a message with a dummed version of this? You have all these places circled and what not of where to type stuff in, but how do we even get there???
WickedKiss 3 years ago
theirs also this video on youtube
HOW TO: Vegas - Edit DIVX/XVID Videos
you just download the avi program (look for it with an internet search engine like google or yahoo or something)
then download it, double click it, when it opens (browse to the avi with the browse button) once the avi is open, it'll say in them 2 boxes what the avi is, type in the boxes then click apply & exit & its done
TheWraith 3 years ago
depends what you mean by frame edit : /
do you wish to edit an actial image in the frame or like just change the frames playback limit (nose on google) phrases like
FREE frame limit ajuster Download
FREE AVI Frame Changer download
diffrent phrases, ive found a few od things in the past, like the app i used in this video is a frame editor, but theirs so many ways a frame can be "edited" so questions need to be more specific :)
TheWraith 3 years ago
Does anyone know any video frame editor software
ChrisMesropian 3 years ago
does this reduce the video quality???
lllstrikesmember2 3 years ago
it only reduces quality when you render a video, and that depends on how much compression you use on codec during the export

Hi very useful video, 2 questions 1. what music are you playing cos i want it.
2. vid editor you use Vegas?
elwoodetubes 3 years ago 2
yip vegas video (version 4 by sonic foundry)
version 8 is out now, by sony (wich can import much more than vegas 4 can) but 4 is less system draining
the music is a mox of "Nico" and "hard to Kill" them 2 old steven segal films
TheWraith 3 years ago
the other music is "Take me Away" from the epicon album, theirs 2 music companies that make music for movies & movie previews "X-ray Dog" and "Imediate Music" their realy good (but hard to come by) they only sell to studios, take me away was a public recording with lyrics, based on "armed by faith" from x-ray dog
TheWraith 3 years ago
This is WRONG.
Immediate Music first came out with "Armed by Faith" (no lyrics) on their album 'Themes for Orchestra and Choir', and just last year [or so] Globus released their album Epicon with "Take Me Away"- which is what you heard in the movie.
X-Ray Dog has absolutely nothing to do with Immediate Music.
pwn247 3 years ago
i thought it was a joint venture
if you read around the net you'll find info about 1 of the composers (from x-ray dog)working with immediate music (to release a public based album) essentialy a few sits say it was a colaberation

Thewraith,
I got LG viewty phone as my DIVX capture device, when I input the video in to Vegas 8. The screen show up perfectly, but the audio track is gone. ( i can play this video on other player with sound)
I had tried to use ur method with the CC changed to DIVX and Vegas still can not get the sound out from the video.
I could not figure out how to import my divx for edit....
Hoping u can help. Million thanks.

you may need to install the audio codec manualy, see when you run vids in media player, media player aquires the codec & the license to play it (to play a video with a codec is generaly free) but to make or edit (using that codec, it can cost) your best bet is to do a google for a prog called "G-Spot Codec" its free, that'll scan the video & actualy name the codec used, then try & get this codec & manualy install it
TheWraith 3 years ago
1 trick that sometimes works, sometimes if you open the video in media player and let it play a little then press stop (leave media player open so codec is registerd as a running prosses) and load the same video into "windows movie maker" if it loads in, render as Uncompressed pal or NTSC "DV" with no compression (and it'll export with its original quality :) also you can tweek codecs by installing a thing called "Direct Show Filter" file name like DDF-01042008 or DFF-
has 3 letters & date
TheWraith 3 years ago
Thanks for your quick response,
Video: DivX 5 640x384 30.00fps 1994Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 22050Hz mono 64Kbps [Audio 1]
i try ur let media player run method with no luck... still trying

if its MP3 chances are its "LAME" its an MP3 codec, you can get "lame MP3" from a few sites, do a google for it :) sometimes you can get an exe install or a DLL file & a TXT file, you put the DLL into a folder then use (start/run) and a regserve command to register the dll with windows, google should find it & show how to intall it :)
Note that some divx 5 and 5.2 files have corrupt audio headers & cant be decompressed
TheWraith 3 years ago
THanks Wraith, i will try to find LAME tomor.
i tried installing k-lite codec today, it is worse, after installing k-lite, i can not even drag and drop the video to vegas.
so i uninstalled it and installed the new DIVX codec and back to stage 1. (btw, i try using winavi to convert to mp4, after that video work perfect on vegas... just not the smartest way and annoying, but work)
scoobychau 3 years ago
codecs are such a pain, if you do a google the words
Super(c) Video Converter
its free, that does almost anything to anything, can be handy :)
also i can save you hours on rendering movies for youtube :)
render out of vegas as 320x240 MOV (uncompressed mov video & audio) it'll be about 1 gig for 10 min video (but export is dead fast cos its not compressing) then put a pro serial in quick time and open mov, hit file then export using quick time, compresses dead fast :)
TheWraith 3 years ago
you could use something like (Total Recorder) to recoard the audio (while the vids playing in media player) then use that wav & the video together to make a new video, if you have a "Creative Labs sound card" they come with an audio recorder if you install it from the driver cd
ps
i dont have my own net anymore so some replies take a few days :'(

worked like a charm - all these years haunted by AVI problems in Vegas - THANKS
isoceles333 3 years ago
glad to be of help :)
i used to have gigs of uncompressed DV avi's for editing lol
another tip (if vegas is a bit laggy)
you can also re-tage the avi then chop it into smaller peices (no re-render) just chop with the likes of "Easy Video Splitter" or "AVI Cutter" :)
a few 350/700mb avi's can still send vegas wobbly lol

I went from fraps' avi to virtualdub and compressed the raw avi using ffdshow codec..afterwards virtualdub wont take the outputed avi, this method of yours didn't trick virtualDub it seems =[
songofyesterday 4 years ago
ive got virtualdub but ive never realy used it, one thing i do know is you will need the ffdshow pluggin vor virtualdub :)
im not sure what site its on but it is avalible, i saw it a few weeks ago, it maybe on the ffdshow site (or linked from it)#have a look on google for
"ffdshow plugin"
(or) "virtualdub plug in virtualdub"
should find it

Now this is strange:
It works with Windows XP but not with Vista, I just found it out (i have both operation systems on my PC).
Well 10x for the info then. ;)
avara90 4 years ago
wmv is a nightmare for re-editing, if you have XP pro, sometimes its easier, depends on the codecs you have installed
wmv is essentialy licenced for playback & render (not re-render) vegas hates wmv as its trying to decompress them in real time & their kinda like variable bittrate mp3's :'(
1 handy buy is a Tv-video-IN card, as they come with codecs on the card (so its hardware renderd rather than software renderd) less legal restrictions on the decompression filters ;)
TheWraith 4 years ago
Yeah, 10x for the tips ;)
I just didn't try with XP before, now i know. :)
avara90 4 years ago
best tip for wmv (if its originaly a wmv)
is to render the wmv as an "Uncompressed DV-AVI" so it re-renders with no loss of quality, then re-render that avi as a wmv
sometimes trying to make a wmv into a smaller wmv wont work as the codec you wish to re-compress with is to buisy decompressing
& licence wise, its one video in use per mp codec :'(
microsoft sucks lol
TheWraith 4 years ago
ok i want to make some of the videos i have smaller for my psp
idk how to
think you can help me out please?
bmxboy88 4 years ago
best bet & simplest way is probably "quick time"
you open up your video in quick time then select "file" then select "export"
and pick the MP4 option, and select 320x240 on the screen size (no real need to be any bigger in screen size)
you may need quick time pro to do it, but theirs loads of sites with quick time S/N: numbers or you could buy it :)
psp's also suport WMV (i think) so you maybe able to use movie maker, wich is free with xp :)
TheWraith 4 years ago
just a thought but you can get a video converter for free, called
SUPER(C)
it does everything to everything lol
if you look on google for
Super (c) video converter
it should find it (its defo free) and it works prity well
it can do Mp4 and all kinds :)

WTF!! one of my films got destroyed and one turned spanish for some reson??
lipnix 4 years ago
i can belive maybe one got destroyd (but if you DONT back up a file before you mess with it, then thats outright stupidity) ALWAYS back up anything before you mess with it
as for spanish, no chance, unless it wasn't a real AVI (as in JUST an avi) it could of been one of them stupid compo pack avi's wich has sub files built in (to wich thats not realy an avi, its a kinda rar named as avi) "like comic CBR files"
iether way, this video trick works (all my airwolf was XviD)
TheWraith 4 years ago
1st track is from iether "NICO" or "Hard To Kill" an old steven segal movie, next track is "Take Me Away" from the "Globus" Album, a public compliation of music from "Immediate Music" and "X-Ray Dog" (they normaly Only do trailer music for movies) its basicly X-ray dogs "Armed With Faith" but with lyrics, last peice is striaght out of "Stealth" :D

yip, importing to many 350mb avi's makes it wobble a lot, its best use is to cut it into chunks with a video trimmer & only import the chunks you need, ive only got a 256mb video card my self & an athlon 2000 (not a great pc) but this trick works for me
