if you have access to Windows, how do the various versions of divx compare?

I have VPC, but I'm not familiar with the DivX codecs. Also, since 3ivX is comparable and since DivX playback compatibility is not so good on OS X, I see no reason for me to use a …

IMHO divx is awesome in osx. 3ivx plays great on my 450 mp. These are currently the best codecs for movies. Most 1.5 hr flicks will look great(full screen) at under 700 mb. Both…

Quote: Originally posted by pdot: <STRONG>I personally like the quality of the 3ivX codec the most because you can get something that's 2-3 as good as VCD quality …

oos, sorry about the 3ivx mixup. I just got so used to seeing the capital "X" that I forgot. As for the development picking up again, I wonder if it's too late. Even with the MPEG-…

I can't find the link. But check your mail.

Hows about this one? I've seen the last two DivX 5 moivies - The Hunt and xXx - and this one just "smokes" the current DivX 5 codec. And it's a old beta. For more info check out …

well, I dont think sorenson MPEG4 is free... or is it that its not offialy out? Either way, I would expect Apple's MPEG4 codec to be just as good or better than that. -Owl [ 03-2…

I own the white AV cable. I bought it at the apple store for $19. The three RCAs are video/left audio/right audio. Now for digital video cameras you'll need a firewire cable (smal…

Uh, Peak works fine with QT 4 and 8.6. I have seen it run very smooth as a matter of fact. Not only that, it can import mp3 now. Very slick. If it's that big of a deal, revert to 3…

Just to let you know, Peak 2.03 works fine with quictime 4. It is in beta now, but should be released soon.

Yep, according to Avid, the Avid compression card for PowerMac's is utterly incompatible with QuickTime 4 - they specfically told me that there was no update planned. I ripped the…

What version of Avid Cinema are you running? If it's the USB or G3 software version, QT4 is supported (The G3 version requires an upgrade). The Performa version and the B&W/ATI…
