Is it in AVI package? If so you can just change the FOURCC to something that TMPGEnc likes. (like DIVX)

The video track should be MPEG-4, just like DivX, and XviD.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.xl.3ivx
what do u mean 4 package ??? thanxs

Ugh.

Look, if your going to pirate movies, at least learn WTF your downloading.

First thing you want to do is to disable "Hide file extensions for known types".

I have a feeling that its a *.MOV with MPEG-4 video, and audio.

What application are you using to view the file with? (QuickTime)

[winny22]

i downloaded the 3ivx codec and i can view it in win media player..but nothing else will play it but how do i convert to burn as vcd or dvd (preferably dvd its 1.4 gb}

Read the AVI to VCD/DVD guides found under Convert left. Try them out.

You still haven't said what kind of file it is!

.mov ext seems like a quicktime movie but how do u burn this file thanxs

[au7usa]

MOV extensions can still have MPEG-4 video, and AAC audio. The FOURCC for the video will be MP4V.

If the file won't even play, the first thing you need to do is install 3ivX. 3ivX will install MP4 support for both QuickTime and Windows Directshow.

After a reboot, try the QTReader.vfp plugin for TMPGEnc. Anything?

Now i have no idea what the attributes of your file are so i can only give suggestions, no definate answers.

If you have QuickTime Pro you can always export to AVI, but you have to choose between having a quality loss and having an enormous file.

Have you considered using AVISynth with the QTReader.vfp plugin?

If you try to use GraphEdit to make an intermediate file, it may be possible to leave the video stream compressed, and just remux to AVI.
AVI's don't support AAC audio, so audio stream will need to be decompressed.

Remuxing with GraphEdit to MP4 might be readable in TMPGEnc through DirectShow. (may need to adjust priority if DShow file reader)

hi ok put the qt reader plug in to tmpge. now it sees it what do i convert this too. avi, mpg, whatever and how do i put this on disc. can i put it on a dvd say.... template dvd then convert then burn to dvd disc thanxs.

The DVD template would be a good place to start. Once you have the mpeg created you'll need to use an authoring program to place the file into the proper DVD structure. Try DVD Lab or TMPGEnc DVD Author. Also, you might want to create a small test clip first to make sure that TMPGEnc is recognizing the AAC audio.

[au7usa]

3ivX has a AAC decoder, it might go through directshow.

I agree, do a test first.
