XviD MPEG-4 Codec Problems

[carbon_K]

I have searched all over the internet and the forums for this problem and have yet to find anythin on it, so here it is. I have made a video using Videomach and Adobe Premier Pro. And when I render the video using Adobe Premier Pro, I use the XviD Codec and have set the bit rate from 1000-10000. When I had the bitrate of the video at 8000+ the video would not play on any player but the audio would. When I had the bitrate on 7999 and lower, the video would play but it would be very pixelized, but there would be visual appearance. The video's colors would also be very distorted. So far the only Codec that will work is the cvid codec and that doesn't show the correct colors or compress the video. When I use cvid the file size is 2.02 GB and with XviD its like 150 MB. So what I am asking for here is if there are any other settings that I need to change that would fix my problem and what bitrate would be the best for my video. So far I have only changed the bitrate on my video and there really hasn't been much of a difference. If there are any suggestions, please let me know.

8000+? I have the latest Koepi binary of 1.0.1 and it has 8000 as max if you choose to control by bitrate instead of size. Myabe it's not supposed to work on higher bitrate?

If you have it set to unrestricted, it goes to 10,000.

Must be a huge resolution to require 10,000 and to look bad at ~8000.

I would suggest that you change it to quant mode and set it to 2.

Try this guide for the Xvid 1.*.* versions: http://www.doom9.org/xvid-vdub-final.htm .
This guide was initially written for VirtualDub users, but it does cover all the important settings of the XviD codec, which are certainly independent of the used video editor.
