Adobe Premiere Pro and XVid

Premiere is supposed to have issues with MPEG4 (DivX, Xvid, H264...).

You could try setting up a frameserver with this plugin: http://www.debugmode.com/frameserver/

If you check the DivX forum someone there posted way to use this with virtualdub from inside Premiere.

thanks! got stuck on that one for a while, praise be todays search-engines.

iv got the same problem, and im not sure how to solve it. LSS, working on a music video with divx and xvids, had to format xp. when i started working on it again, the xvid videos come up either 'media offline' when only divx is installed, and black when divx and xvid ar installed.

RK, you’re an bloody life saver mate.

Cheers from Australia!

God bless us, every one!

Wow, it’s been two years and still people are finding my post useful. Thanks for the feedback, guys! ;-)

RK - whoever you are - thank you very much for giving me the solution to my hell with premiere xvid stuff!
cheers!

i can’t disable xvid status window
when deal with it from windows service
in addition to i unchecked the display status from options
if any one faced this problem and ride off it
pleaze tell me
thanks,

Thanks a million mate, this error was haunting me for quite a few days now.

Thank you so much!

I’m having problems with an Xvid encoded Avi file in Adobe Premiere. When I try to drop it onto the timeline, I can hear the audio but the screen only shows black, even when I export it.

I’ve tried the “Turn the Status window off in Advanced Options/Debugging and it won’t lock up” method, but don’t know how. How do you get into Advanced Options/Debuggin? Is anyone able to do a step-by-step instruction for a n00b like myself?

Many thanks in advance!

creeduk can you tell me the answers to the problem on divx or xvid, or bette yet tell me how to “Turn the Status window off in Advanced Options/Debugging and it won’t lock up”

Anyone?

Dude you rock~~!!Dude you rock~~!!Dude you rock~~!!Dude you rock~~!!Dude you rock~~!!

thanks worked a treat . Adobe sucks

A year later and your suggestion still helps! Thanks for posting it on tha web.

You are awesome lol, so simple!

YES! thank you RK for the tip

I found it under the “Other Options..." at the bottom of the Xvid encoding options and then “Display encoding status”. Worked after turning it off for me, thanks a ton for this solution!

Thank you, Bj_o_rn, the newer version of XVID doesn’t have the Advanced Options area. Thanks for pointing it out.

Nice one! I gave up on encoding to XVid with Premiere a few years ago cos of this!
