DIVX Logo in *.avi

[Fredl]

Hey, I just bought ffmpegx and it´s a marveless tool - thank you for that. BUt I have a problem, when making a *.avi from vob-files....I always get this DIVX-Logo at the beginning of my ready *.avi...I bet it has something to do with license things - I would buy the divx codec - no problem, but how can I integrate it to ffmpegx...or are there alternatives? Thanks in advance for your suggestions, and many greetings from cologne....

dude theres a setting in the codec's properties, its checked on by default!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fredl]

Hey dude, and can you tell me how to change tis flag? Can I do this in ffmpegX somewhere? how can I influence the codec?

Hey dude, and can you tell me how to change tis flag?

Start->Programs->Divx->Divx Codec->Decoder Configuration, Quality settings tab. Tick the box marked 'Disable Logo'

[Fredl]

Hey thanks, but we are talking about ffmpegX , no? Its Mac OSX, theres no such Start > Programs etc...that exactly is my problem...

[bugster]

Its Mac OSX,

Ahh, I missed that.
But there must be some way of setting the config options for the divx codec, no

[Fredl]

I wished so, but actually I can´t find it. Theres no option in either ffmpegx, nor can I find the codec...there is something in the Library, but its no executable program., and there´s no config file, either thank you so far

ffmpegX doesn't use the codec from DivX.com for encoding, but uses 'mpeg-4 libavc'. That makes it very unlikely the source of a logo showing up. Either it's part of the video, or your playback software puts it there.

[Fredl]

Hey, thx, buit neither is the case: the divx logo IS NOT in the source movie, nor is it activated through any player - when I pull my video into e.g. AfterEffects, the Divx logo is part of the movie....this is REALLY strange

[the * dude]

um.....

look in the directory where you installed the codec there should be a setup.exe file there, worth a try, hope it works!!!!!

[thoughton]

Perhaps you can try removing any divx codecs from your QuickTime Library folder and see what happens then?

[Fredl]

Thx, thoughton, i´ll try this next and give you a report, and hey "dude" we are on os x, no? no setup.exe etc....

[Fredl]

hey thoughton - I think your solution was terribly correct I´ve kicked off all divx entries on my entire harddisk, and now theres no logo anymore...thank you so much for your hint, bye bye, fred

[thoughton]

Glad to hear it worked!
