XviD 1.1 Mac-Version - Please help!

[peteag]

Hello, I'm tired of using my fathers Celeron-PC for encoding XviD-movies on Windows XP so I wanted to use it on Mac in the most recent version.
Solaris was so glad to show me how to build it on mac and how to install:

* curl -O http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads...e-1.1.0.tar.bz2
* tar xjvf xvidcore-1.1.0.tar.bz2
* cd xvidcore-1.1.0/build/generic/
* ./configure
* make
* sudo make instal

But what now? I have no possibilities to start an encoding in quicktime or anything else because I haven't such an interface like XviD for Windows. So what I must do now to finally start my encodings?

Please help me!

just get the QT xvid codec or divx or 3vix etc...

or

get ffmpegX http://homepage.mac.com/major4/video.html


what you did was make/install the CLI bin which is easy to use also but
I would just use ffmpegX which is a front end GUI to ffmpeg and mencoder
and a bunch of other stuff as well as having a lot of built in things like calcs.

which file is the CLI?

What you would have built is just xvidcore. You could build xvidencraw, ffmpeg or mencoder.

yeah now that you mention it it would be just the core.

So he would need to go the QT wrapper project which uses the core
and hooks it into the QT api then any QT app has access to it
where as the above project bins are CLI based and no way to edit
etc..

I have built ffmpeg and it works fine but since ffmpegX is a nice
GUI front (and more) end might as well use it. :)

actually none in this case. I have to assume CD is correct
and what you built has no CLI (though I wonder why the
option is not there/ not added in after all this time)

anyway don't worry about it. just use ffmpegX and or get
the codecs for QT. With the QT codecs you can edit the video/audio
in any QT aware app or QT player etc...

if you really want to use the xvid core check out the QT wrapper project
on sourceforge. Their goal was/is to make a wrapper to hook in all the
formats that no one made a QT codec for.

oh just in case you do decide to build xvidencraw, ffmpeg or mencoder
you will get a single file (in the case of ffmpeg anyway ) and you put that
in your ~user/bin dir then open the terminal and you can type

ffmpeg -help

to get the format and options

good luck
