That's a good question I guess FFMpegX (http://homepage.mac.com/major4) might work. It's got kind of a complicated interface. It's really too bad that Apple dropped MP3 encoding support from QTpro. Bill Streeter LO-FI SAINT LOUIS www.lofistl.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, gmjoyce_y

He's right, it seems to be gone from QT pro. See this screen shot: http://www.lofistl.com/QuickTime.jpg --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, duncan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 1/7/06, Joshua Kinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: it does have mp3 audio codec. When you compress your video, use

So what's the solution? Use AAC and hope Google accepts it? Jim Vinson suggested Divx, because they are teaming up with Google, but I can't find any official word from Google yet that you can upload Divx-formatted files. Maybe Google plans to take your video and encode it with Divx themselves?

Thanks, Andreas. I recently bought QTPro but it doesn't have the MP3 audio codec. Do I need to go somewhere else to find that audio codec encoder? --Greg --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Andreas Haugstrup [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, 07 Jan 2006 16:18:22 +0100, gmjoyce_y [EMAIL

Very interesting. But that means I'll have to pay for a Dixx license if I'm charging for people to download my Google downloads, doesn't it? And if I endcode in Divx, does that mean I should make available two versions of my video on Google, one for people with Divx, one for people without?

Greg,It helps with the playback, trust me.  If you have quicktime 6, they are already there, but in 7 they were omitted, I had lots of lovely problems when I upgraded at first, avi's wouldn't play, or they would play with sound, or all I got was a white screen and sound track, those kind things.

All sorts of things play DivX. VLC, ffmpeg. Check out the cnet article and it might clarify what they are looking for. They want to be able to push google video onto the 50 million DivX certified devices out there. If you are charging through google, they would obviously manage all mpeg-la

The other month when I was spouting my opinions about DivXs place in the future, devices and mp4 etc, I think I probably did underestimate the number of alternative hardware devices that are emerging that will support DivX. Ive really no idea how many 'media portals' of the itunes and recently

I do have a draft for the free license. Unfortunately we are still a relatively small company and the same guy that has been working out the google stuff has the free license contract. Hopefully we can have it shortly. The gist is that there are no fees or restrictions on usage. But lawyers have
