Divx question

fleeper wrote on 7/30/2004, 5:28 AM

does anyone ever import their video as Divx and sue that to edit? Or would it be better bring it in dv format then render, burn dvd, and then if i want to save a copy on my HD, convert that to divx? I am just anxious that I do not lose any of what I make.

Any tips or opinions out there?

In my opinion, your 2nd option would give you the best of both worlds. Starting in DV ensures that you'll have the best format for editing and high quality video to render & burn to DVD. As you say, you can re-encode using Divx after the fact, for storage to another medium.

DivX is not supported in the software. I tried it and only the sound will end up on the sound track. The video will not go in to the video track.

You can use the DivX codec to render a DivX file if you have it. Here is how you set it up:
