    I have a Win XP machine, and I have Quicktime Pro. I want to export as AVI using the Intel Indeo Video codec. I installed this codec on my machine, but it doesn't show up in the compression type settings. Neither do any of the other codecs I have installed on my machine (Xvid, etc.). How do I get it to show up?

  2. Quicktime does not use VfW and DirectShow codecs - only Quicktime codecs.
    Indeo codec support (encoding) is not currently available in Quicktime (since 7.5.5 version) - Indeo 5 codec/component is not used (blocked).

    Why you want to use Indeo codec?

    I am trying to follow the instructions listed here to convert my MOV files suitable for DVD. Each time I do, when I compile the DVD, my DVD-Lab Pro says the run length is over 1440 bits, and I'm trying to avoid that.

    This is quite old.
    There are other ways.
    What are properties of the source video (from cam)?

    Probably not that way (but rather do not use lossy encoding before encoding to MPEG-2).
    Rather focus more on used MPEG-2 encoder.

    I found out the problem with DVD-Lab Pro. I had a text link in the menu that was fairly long. It could not encode the subpicture, because it was too complex. Subpic is encoded using RLE algorithm and each compressed line cannot take more than 1440 bits (DVD specs limitation). When you add a link, the object you add the link to becomes part of the subpicture mask which needs to be RLE encoded. Apparently, it causes the RLE code for one or more of the lines passing through that object to exceed the maximum allowed length.

    I reduced the number of characters in the text object, and the DVD compiled without error.
