XML Format for DivXMux.exe

[Bazilik]

Dear everyone,

so far leafing through forums here and on divx labs it looks like most people don't even try to get their hands dirty with XML and prefere to grab some gui tool to do the work. I studied thoroughly (several times) all the docs in the DivXMedia Format SDK and easily used command line switches of DivXMux r/a/v/s/o but can't make it work with x (xml) switch.

Samples provided by DivX Labs (e.g. SimpleMenu) and the gui tools (DivXMediaBuilder, DivXMuxGui) all seem to use a totally different set of XML tags than that specified in the DMF SDK Guide (Release 2, Feb 15, 2006). The GUI tools don't even recognize an XML written with DMF SDK tags. I wonder has the XML format documented in the guide been actually implemented in the DivXMux.exe? What's the status of the release documentation? And is there any proper documentation for the XML format that is really/currently used by DivXMux?

Thanks for any help on this issue - really tired to make XML DMF work... ;(

P.S.

For example command-line: divxmux.exe -x 1.xml -t tmp -o outfile.divx

... doesn't work

Here is the XML placed in the same directory as DivXMux.exe, 1.avi and subfolder "tmp":

<DivXMediaFile Version="1">
<Title Name="SimpleSample">
<Description>
<Translation Lanuage="en" Value="Single title movie sample" />
</Description>
<TitleMedia>
<VideoMedia FileName="1.avi" />
</TitleMedia>
</Title>
</DivXMediaFile>

Hi Bazilik -

I just found your two-months-old post since I have the same problem: two different sets of tags, one of them completely documented but not working (the one starting with "DivXMediaFile" at the top level), the other one working (obviously), but not documented/referenced at all (the one starting with "DivXMediaManager").

I posted my problem at the divx.com forums (http://stage6.divx.com/Community+Forums/posts/31/2173), I even mailed it to divlabs@divx.com, but didn't get an answer so far. Therefore: did you get any new information meanwhile?

Or maybe somebody else?

Thanks -
f.a.

Reference for the xml format starting with "DivXMediaManager" (used by DivXMediaBuilder) can be found at my page http://userxp.tripod.com/mb.htm
