I bunged in my 2.5 GB AVI made in Muvizu and ran the program to save as DIVX, xVID. The file now weighs in at 21.4 MB and is uploaded through Muvizu to You Tube (put qestony in the search field). I am still unable to get any codecs into Muvizu, but provided I just run "make video" and let it create a giant AVI I can now get away with it.
By the way, the AVS deal cost me £42.00 Sterling, but you can download all their software and updates.
I hope this helps anyone else struggling with the codec thing. ]]> Mon, 20 Sep 2010 13:37:14 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic579-make-video.aspx Message from Neil tonethemoan wrote:

Excellent news! I'm looking forward to seeing your video.

Could you do me a favour and quickly describe how you fixed it with AVS, please? That way we here at Muvizu can have some understanding of what went wrong and can direct other users if they have the same problem. Thanks, Tone.]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 23:49:38 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic579-make-video.aspx Message from tonethemoan

When the "Make video" window appears, you're clicking on the "Options..." button at the bottom, and the "Movie options" dialog box appears. But instead of a list of codecs like in the picture below, you only get "None" as an option?







I hate to say it, but have you tried turning it off and on again?

Maybe the DivX installer needs a reboot before it installs properly.]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 15:51:28 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic579-make-video.aspx Message from tonethemoan edited by tonethemoan on 9/19/2010]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 15:33:51 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic579-make-video.aspx Message from Neil
It's odd that you don't have any codecs listed, there should at least be one or two that came with Windows. But never mind, we'll get you sorted out.

Freakmoomin's links should give you a good overview of what codecs other people are using and their different pros and cons. Or if you just want get something working quickly, I'd recommend you download and install the DivX codec pack from here:

http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus/codec-pack

After you've installed that, restart Muvizu and it should appear in the list of codecs.]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 14:56:58 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic579-make-video.aspx Message from freakmoomin

To make sure, you can right click the bar that the markers are sitting on. A dialogue box should pop up where you can type in the start and end marker times.

Just to clarify, the start and end markers are pink and white diamonds, while the cue points are white diamonds with an exclamation mark inside.

Edit: I should also mention that the bottom two bars will turn green between the start and end markers.

Of course it may be a cue point at the end and not and end mark, How can I check that or at least insert a proper end mark?

I think the problem is that your start and end markers (the pink and white diamonds in the timeline) are sitting together, meaning your movie is zero length. To fix it, go to the timeline either by pressing Ctrl+T or clicking "Timeline" in the "Tools" menu, then moving the markers apart. That should enable the video menu for you.

Based on the feedback from other users on the forum, I've already changed the way this works to be more intuitive for the next release.]]> Sun, 19 Sep 2010 13:04:34 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic579-make-video.aspx Message from tonethemoan Sun, 19 Sep 2010 12:41:14 GMT
