DivX avi to MP4 convertion problem!

[hk]

Hi,
hearing that kiss will bring a DVD/MP4 standalone player soon, I gave it a try and tried to convert on of my divX.avi´s to the .mp4 format using DivX5.02 MP4-creator. The .avi file was encoded with the DivX5.02
codec.
So, I opended Virtual Dub > compression > divx5 codec > configure > advanced parameters > mpeg4 creator, then I indicated the .avi file
and pressed > convert. Message:
"Convertion couln´t be finished, check wether file is encoded with DivX5 or greater." Sure it is!
Any ideas? Much thanxs in advance,
HK

I don't know why the in-build MP4 creator didn't work for you, but I do know that people have tried to convert DivX5-AVI to DivX5-MP4 with an external tool. This showed that the MP4 didn't work properly when the DivX5 Pro features (B-frames/Q-Pel/GMC) were used during encoding...
So your best bet is to try again with a video that doesn't contain the DivX5 Pro features.

Hi and thanks for the reply!
I found that convertion works for video files without audio multiplexed yet. In consequence, it is not a proper AVI file you can convert with this feature despite what DivXnet says in their own guide!!

So the problem to solve is: How do I multiplex the .mp4 file with the presumably mp3-, ac3- or aac file, to make it a whole.
(Quicktime 6 should actually be able to play it, anyway..)

Further ideas? Greetings from Berlin,

Try this:
Mpeg4ip guide (http://www.everwicked.com/content/MPEG4IP_Guide/)

Remember to use psytel aac encoder, mpeg 4 special version

so there´s no way to convert divx-avis with mp3-audio (lame vbr) to mp4? would be bad, ´cause if this stand alone players are available, i´d have to create all my movies again?

Usually any AVI with VBR MP3 inside can't be processed further by any application, because it required a non-standard method to put the audio in in the first place. Converting to MP4 is no exception.

However -h once postulated that it might be possible to convert a DivX3 stream into an MPEG-4 compatible stream. Maybe it would be possible to strip out the VBR MP3 in a similar way as well. But for now it's not possible just yet.
