Xvid can be added to the list of codecs that don't work!

The 'configure' button doesn't do anything either.

Hi mungy,

The first thing you need to know is that mp4 will never show up as a codec in Muvizu. Its not a AVI codec. You can convert your AVI video to MP4 later though.

Have you tried installing XVid as a stand-alone codec? I've often found it doesn't show up with K-lite codec pack installs and so, these days, I just go to http://www.xvid.org/Downloads.15.0.html and install the stand alone version.

If there are other codecs you want to use, could you list them one by one and we'll try and help you with them individually.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,
Jamie.

iYUV is a pretty good codec, used to use it myself until I went all uncompressed. If that's still producing files that are too big, your only other option seems to be to use the 32 bit version of Muvizu, which always supported more codecs than the 64 bit version (currently my Muvizu is showning just 2 codecs - msv1 and uncompressed, that's it, despite having the latest k lite pack). And I hadn't realised k Lite had merged their 64/32 bit codecs together in one pack these days, so that's one less complication at least! If you're not going to produce sets that exceed 3gb in your PC's memory, there really is no benefit to running the 64bit version of Muvizu anyway. And you can have both version installed side by side since they live in different places on your C drive. Can't hurt

Hi Mungy,

May I ask what resolution you are trying to render out at?

Some codecs will only do up to a certain resolution, as such, you may have all the codecs you need, it's just that the codecs won't support the resolution you are going for.

Here is what we have on codecs from our Wiki: http://www.muvizu.com/Wiki/wiki/78/codecs

The K-Lite pack includes the 32 and 64 bit codecs these days, so no need to download one or the other.

Try rendering out at a lower resolution to see if you get more codec options and increase as necessary.

Hope this helps!

Glad to hear this is no longer an issue for you, mungy! ukBerty - are you still having problems with the Muvizu process not terminating properly when you close the app, or has this cleared-up for you too...?

Also, just out of curiosity, this question for both of you (as well as anyone else who may have had this problem)... Did it ever happen with Muvizu:Play (v1.0)? Or just with older versions of Muvizu?

I reported it a while ago but as no one else had this I thought it was just me.

I'm also Win7 64bit and it happens even if launch muvizu, don't load a set and immediately quit !

Have turned off AV and still it won't close properly.

Yes, it is. It was reported a few weeks ago. I'm not aware of any further news.

It doesn't seem to happen with my machine which is Win 7 64bit as well. I always save manually and then just quit instead of using "save and quit", whether that has anything to do with it I don't know.

I feel your codec woes Mungy.
That's one scary looking avatar you've got yourself there btw!
It reminds me of this little vid I made a while back


Did the person that took the photograph survive?.. Eek!

hi there you will need to install some codecs most people use k-lite or you can chop the video in half and join it together in a video editor

make sure you install the codecs for your version of muvizu so if you installed 64bit muvizu install 64bit codecs or you will have some strange issues .

muvizu has no fancy codecs as they cost money for them to license.

Not all codecs actually have options, but we always have the Configure button there because that's built into Muvizu. Hope that makes sense
