h.264 in AVI

[mikeyc]

Is it possible to make an AVI using H.264 or x.264 codec?

[45tripp]

Yes,

Or if you've already got avc you can use avc2avi on a raw h264 clip.

EDIT:
MAC! MAC!! Run XP on a virtual machine

Why would you want to put AVC in an avi file?

avc2avi should run fine under OS X and you can use mp4box or similar to extract the video from mov/mp4.

You can do this easily with SUPER encoder.

Also, you can do this with virtualdub and the unofficiall vfm x264 codec.

MeGUI also does it.

Except the OP is using a Mac, so those aren't really an option (at least, he ruled them out above).

I wonder if ffmpegx or VisualHub could do it.

[celtic_druid]

Well Super is just a front-end for various OS cli encoders, most of which should run fine on a Mac. mencoder or ffmpeg can encode via x264 to an avi, in fact for mencoder it is the default output format.

[Ai Haibara]

True.

I just happen to encounter a lot of people on both the Windows and Mac side who'd rather not have much to do with CLI/console programs (me being an exception), so I tend to default to suggesting GUI applications first. Have to do something about that.

(That, and I was actually supposed to get some sleep for a change, this morning, not answer forum posts. Never happened. )
