H264 Audio - Premiere Pro

[doctorfungi]

Hey guys

I'm trying to get a video up onto Google Video. It is 2hrs20mins long.

I tried an export in MPEG 2 and it ended up 5gb. So logically, no point uploading that. Then I tried WMV and ended up with a nice 900mb. Unforunatley, Google Video turned it down and emailed me saying that I should try MPEG4.

So I opened up Premiere pro, and noticed that there was no immediate MPEG4 option. I tried the "Apple MPEG4 Compressor" codec with horrible results (off-sync sound etc)

So now I'm giving H264 (accepted by Google) a try. Only problem is I am not given a wide variety of codecs to choose from. Google recommends MP3 but I can't find it anywhere. These are my options:

16-bit Big Endian
16-bit Little Endian
24-bit Integer
32-bit Floating Point
32-bit Integer
64-bit Floating Point
ALaw 2:1
Apple Lossless
IMA 4:1
MACE 3:1
MACE 6:1
QDesign Music 2
Qualcomm PureVoice
Ulaw 2:1

Is there any way I can somehow add AAC or MP3 to that list?

Thanks!

What's wrong with something simple like Xvid and CBR MP3 ?

[doctorfungi]

That's what I was thinking but as far as I know Google Video won't accept Xvid.

"Specific video codecs we accept include H.264, H.263, MPEG 1/2/4 and motion JPEG."

Just noticed that even then Premiere only offers me for Xvid audio:

IMA ADCPM
Microsoft ADCPM
CCITT A-Law
CCITT U-Law
GSM 6.1
DSP Ground TrueSpeech
MSN Messenger Audio Codec

Do I have to download some kind of Audio Codecs?

[guns1inger]

Xvid and Divx are mpeg4 variants.

[doctorfungi]

Ah awesome

So would I have do download an MP3 codec for DivX?

[guns1inger]

LAME is probably the best free MP3 codec to use

[doctorfungi]

Weird.

Whenever I export to DivX or Xvid I get a lot of artifacts. Multicolored distortion and just other random artifacts. Any ideas?

Export to raw/lossless or frameserve.
