OT: Making DivXes with non standard sizes - comp.graphics.apps.lightwave

Hello! I have a problem. I have an image sequence that I want to convert to a high quality movie with a high compression. The problem is that the movie is supposed to be 752x525 in resolution. This is not pal and not ntsc either, its just som arbitrary resolution. Now, whatever I try, DF, Premiere 6, Lightwave or other, I cannot make this into a DivX. I have tried DivX 3.11, 5.1 and XviD to no avail. They all give an error message and fail to render this movie. Does anyone know a method of doing this besides putting in bars on the top? Greetings, Tom

That's weird... It should let you produce videos in that resolution. AFAIK, the only restriction to resolutions in DivX is that the horizontal pixel count must be evenly divisible by 16, which 752 is. What is the error message? Does it work with other resolutions that are similar in size and aspect ratio? What version of DivX are you using and is it DivX Pro or one of the lesser packages? It could be that they have restricted DivX to only use standard resolution settings.... I just stretched a clip to 752x525 in Vegas4 and rendered out as a DivX and it worked. This system has DivX Pro 5.03 (looks like I need to upgrade).

Hi! Its DivX 5.1 Pro, and the error messages are the standard ones: DF: Render did not Complete (now thats helpfull) Lightwave: "Cannot Set Stream Format" Premiere 6.5: "An error occured. Codec Compression Error. This codec may be unable to support the requested frame size, or there may be a hardwarwe or memory problem" But hardware and memory are a-ok... : ( "DarkScience" <Jeff at Applied Visual dot Com> wrote in message news:qIidnZQBfL239JDdRVn-jw@speakeasy.net... > That's weird...

Sorry it's 720x 525. But it still doesnt work : ( "DarkScience" <Jeff at Applied Visual dot Com> wrote in message news:qIidnZQBfL239JDdRVn-jw@speakeasy.net... > That's weird...

But it still doesnt work : ( Mmmm... that sounds a lot like they want to do square pixel version of D1 PAL video file for computer screen viewing (the mathematically correct 4:3 size would be 720*540, which is close to what you're doing). Have you tried rendering to some other resolution? Try rendering in an image size where BOTH horizontal and vertical resolution can be divided by 16 (i.e. 720*528, which is just 3 pixels off from what they asked, or 720*544, which is the closest to the real thing). Does it work? If not, try with some other source material. Maybe your original file is the problem. Does that work?

Hi Eki, Thanks for the good advice. Actually, I succeeded in making one go with 720x525. I did it in Digital Fusion by setting the 'Make Legal' option in the saver. Problem is, its an OOOLD digital fusion and I dont seem to be able to control the codec in any way. the movie becomes 20 mb's at whatever setting I put either the avi saving defaults or the slider in the saver unit. So I will have to do it in another program like premiere or LW, but so far these have refused to do it at all. I will try your solutions... Ill get back : ) "Erkki Halkka" <erkki.halkka@kolumbus.fi> wrote in message news:buplpa$2ia$1@phys-news1.kolumbus.fi... > except wrote: > > > Sorry it's 720x 525.
