Hey all... just wondering what I can use to export a DivX movie (an AVI) to an MPEG?

I've got Media Cleaner and so forth but none of them want to read the file... only DivX Player opens and plays it.

FYI the AVI uses WMA for its audio...

TIA

Okay, I managed to get the DivX to open in QuickTime Player (yeah!) - but, no sound.

Sound only plays through DivX Player because of the bloody WMA *sigh*

Maybe if I split the audio from the movie, reencode the DivX to a .mov via QuickTime Pro (for video), then using Final Cut Pro composite the two... argh. Not enough HD space. Oh well... at least it's doable.

Can Windows Media player 6.3 read it?

Once you have used "DivX Doctor" on the DivX/WMA file you should have an option to "Pre-decode audio" in the file menu of the Mac DivX Player. This will save another movie file (name.aif.mov) with unencoded audio, which can then be dropped on Quicktime Player as long as the DivX Player is open. At that point you should be able to transcode both audio and video into any format Quicktime has codecs for. I just did it with a short DivX clip that had WMA sound and it worked fine. Only problem would be if you don't have enough HD space for the unencoded audio.

I used doctor, and I created an untitled.mov file. That file is perfectly playable my Quicktime as long a DivX player is also running. I can't explain why, but that is what happens. I didn't need to do anything with preencoded audio like nap was talking about. I just used doctor, left Divx player open and open the new file in QT. I hope you guys can have the same results.
