As an implementation of MPEG-4 Part 2, Xvid uses many patented technologies.[5] For this reason, Xvid 0.9.x versions were not licensed in countries where these software patents are recognized. With the 1.0.x releases, a GNU GPL v2 license is used with no explicit geographical restriction. However, the legal usage of Xvid may still be restricted by local laws.[citation needed] Fortunately, the Fedora Project, a community backed by Red Hat, has imported xvidcore to its repositories on January 24, 2023.[6] The last US patents expired in November 2023. The only patents left worldwide are in Brazil.

Xvid is not a video format; it is a program for compressing to and decompressing from (hence the name codec) the MPEG-4 ASP format. Since Xvid uses MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) compression, video encoded with Xvid is MPEG-4 ASP video (not "Xvid video"), and can therefore theoretically be decoded with all ASP-compliant decoders. This includes a large number of media players and decoders based on libavcodec (such as MPlayer, VLC, ffdshow or Perian). As of 2016[update], xvid.com carries binaries for using the codec.[10] However, early versions of the codec had a bug that prevented XviD-encoded files from being decoded with DivX, even when they were encoded using the DivX fourcc.
I've tried Camtasia, Handbrake and VLC, but they don't seem to support this format - I guess its really old. Everything else I've googled seems like something that will install a ton of spyware on my PC.
Xvid is not a video format like MP4 but rather is a video codec library following the MPEG-4 Part 2 Advanced Simple Profile (ASP) coding standard. Xvid is a competitor of the proprietary DivX codec developed by DivX Inc. In contrast to DivX, Xvid is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License. Because of this, Xvid is used on all platforms for which the source code can be compiled.
The Xvid software is used to compress and decompress video data to MPEG-4 ASP. Due to the compression supported in Xvid, a DVD movie can be sufficiently compressed to fit onto a CD while still retaining the DVD quality. The compressed video is stored with the .xvid extension. Xvid can be considered as ZIP for video files. Xvid compresses video at a 200:1 or more ratio. This allows for more efficient disk storage and faster transmission over networks.
The problem that you are having is that you are trying to export the frames in XVID format but the name of your output file is ending with .mp4. You should change the export format to MP4V or the name of your output file to .avi.
The program offers an abundance of video output formats (MPEG-2, MPEG-4.AVC, MPEG-4.ASP (lavc), MPEG-4 (xvid), H.263). Which format would you recommend for storing home videos, with regard to (a) being able to view them easily on different PC platforms, and to (b) being able to view them still in n > 5 years from now?
I checked out the questions with similar titles and didn't find anything that I thought would help. I am attempting to convert a video into an avi, preferably xvid. The video file's Video and Audio Properties are as follows:
I have tried numerous times to convert this into an Xvid codec AVI but I have had no luck successfully getting the audio to sync properly. I am using Openshot to attempt conversion, using the libxvid codec and AVI format, but I am unsure of the proper audio settings I should use. What settings should I use to convert this video with Openshot? If it is not possible with Openshot, or if there is a better application to use, I would be grateful to know that as well.
If you're just looking for conversion, you might want to try arista or transmageddon instead of Openshot. Arista Transcoder and Transmageddon are applications focused on just doing the conversion and nothing else. Especially Arista Transcoder contains a lot of presets, of which one is xvid. Install them using the command sudo apt-get install arista transmageddon.
I had to convert some mp4 videos from my Samsung Galaxy 2 to avi XViD format, and here's the command I came to thru the way I described earlier. Check this out if this works for you, if not, please try the Step 1, and post your command.
I have xvid file that the player has problems displaying the picture. When the player played the video, the audio is working fine but the pictures will freeze for a few secs, continue playing for another few secs before freezing again. This made it impossible for me to watch. Can someone tell me is there any solutions to this problem?
Besides all popular video formats, such as MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, MTS, Xvid, DivX, etc., corrupted Ultra HD 4K, and 8K videos are scanned, collected, and matched, ensuring that the majority of your videos are recovered.
XViD was the end result of of a combination of insider stolen information and clean room reverse engineering. Occasionally found in contemporary file sharing circles it found the most use as XVCD format iso files: a bitrate variation of VCD. XViD found popularity with a few DVD compression programs such as RatDvD. The xvid file format was close enough that most VCD players and nearly all SVCD/EVCD player had no problems with playback of recorded discs. Changing the XViD extension to avi allow e playback on all contemporary operating systems that supported the avi format. Xvcd uses XViD video and audio.
In the late 90s and early 20000s both BlockBuster and Family Video experimented with disposable rental discs that used the XViD/xvcd format. Self-degrading discs that could be rented from a kiosk and recycled curbside. The XViD format was also a primary target in the SD card forms for pay once copy never distribution.
A lot of my videos use the older H.263 (XviD) format. Does anyone know if we will be able to view them via the Roku Ultra? I've googled around to no avail (though it did point out the existence of this subreddit).
before I try to answer your questions I would like to know why you want to convert your XviD sources to DVD. You probably know that transcoding a video from one lossy format to another lossy format will always degrade the quality. If you know what you are doing the quality loss might not be visible to the normal viewer, but it certainly will be there.
About the only reason why it still could make sense to transcode your clips to the DVD format is that the DVD format allows you to create nice looking menus for your end result. Especially DVDStyler makes real nice menus which can also be pretty complex and advanced. For other codecs this is either not possible at all using free software, or you are restricted to very simple template based menus.
For short, I would like to have a nice DVD collection for these episodes so I totally understand that it might seem like a weird choice to be wanting to go through the hassle of going from XviD to a less efficient format but if that's what it takes to have them on DVD, then so be it!
Transcoding means that the source file will first be decoded to uncompressed RGB, then this RGB stream will be fed to the encoder for the target format. The decoded RGB stream will of course have all the compression artifacts of the source if the source was created at a low bitrate. But for the following encoder these artifacts look like legitimate parts of the source. So the encoder will do its best to encode this uncompressed RGB stream keeping all the compression artifacts intact.
Sorry, I am not finished yet. Your source files have a frame rate of 23.976 fps (NTSC Film). I guess your DVD target format will also be NTSC. Unfortunately DVDStyler has a bug for this fps value. It will encode the source to 23.976, and this is an illegal frame rate for DVD. It will only become legal after soft or hard telecine is applied to bring the presentation frame rate up to 29.97 fps.
DVDStyler will only convert a 23.976 source to 25 fps if you specified PAL as your target format. If you specified NTSC as your target format DVDStyler will encode to 23.976 also (unless you ticked the "NTSC Film: Reencode by default" option).
Of course 25 fps PAL is a standard DVD format. But if you live in NTSC country a lot of hardware DVD players will refuse to play PAL DVDs. Since I live in PAL country I never had such problems. Virtually all PAL DVD players can play NTSC disks just fine. So if you live in NTSC country you might be better off creating NTSC DVDs exclusively.
Okay, so I guess there's an issue somewhere because I switched the project to NTSC, actually did it through the promt when it detected the 23.976 fps. But when I test the result the video is converted into PAL format, so 720 x 576 and 25 fps...
xvid is actually MPEG4 however the metadata might not be ISO conformant
so QuickTime may not be able to play it.VLC can play it because it doesn't use QuickTime. Perian contains an
xvid decoder as a quicktime component which is why QuickTime player can
play it. I'm suprised that having Perian installed doesn't allow QLab
to play it, however maybe Perian can't be used on a background thread.
