Hi All,

Hopefully this question won't be a waste of everyone's time. I am curious as to what teams are using to accomplish thier DiviX encoding. Encoder software? Codec? etc.

Thanks for any help,

-Justin

I've just got a DivX Codec from somewhere. After that you just use whatever Video editing/encoding software you'd like to. Chances are, if you can watch a DivX move you can encode one too.

It's essentially a $400 equivalent to Adobe Premiere, but it comes bundled with the $99 ADS Pyro Firewire card (www.adstech.com)! Unlike Adobe Premiere, it is actually stable. Best of all, it works with both DV types (type-1 and type-2), so you can input DV video directly from a DV camera, edit it in MediaStudio, and compress the movie to whatever codec format you want to, or export it back to the camcorder. Almost no other programs can work with native DV type-1 video like this. Definitely worth your $99.
