Convert Avi To Xvid

[Lupita Calvi]

Thereare, of course, different support levels on different devices. The email exchange about a very limited device Need code to convert MP4 to DivX AVI seems to point at a lower level standard (use it if you can't test the device beforehand):

The point that I would like to stress is that the option -q:v 5 is crucial. This option sets the quality of the video (1 = best, 31 = worse). When this option is omitted, I got a compatible file of poor quality.

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.

Well, I'll close this one out with my own answer... after trying all of the suggestions and not getting anything close to a satisfactory conversion, I wound up using Format Factory in Window$ to get it done. Makes me sad.

I have a bunch of Avi files that won't play in my WD TV Play box. Mediainfo tells me they are xvid. Specs for the box show that should be fine... but digging through forums says its hit-and-miss. So I'd like to try converting them to h264 encoded MKV or mp4 files.

it took less than 4 seconds. And it worked... sort of. It "played" in that something came up on the screen... but there was horrible artifacting and scenes would just sort of melt into each other. I want to preserve quality if possible.

In case you are looking for something graphical, you can consider using mkvtoolnix-gui package. It actually depends on the command line utility, but it will execute the command with all the needed options for you.

The first thing that you'll need to do is to add the files containing all the needed streams. You do that (obviously) by pressing add button and selecting the file or by dragging your files into the "Input files" area. You should not use append button, unless your intention is to place the contents of one file after the contents of another (making the final file's duration the sum of all the appended ones).

Since you are saying you are planning to just convert .avi files, then you should simply add one file at the time. Note that the first file that you will add will automatically set the name of the output file, it will match the input name, but the extension will be changed to .mkv. You can of course change that if you wish.

After you add something you will be able to change the parameters of the streams (such as the assigned language, whether the track is "on" by default, and whether a user can chose to disable this stream all together if one wishes.

You can give the title for the stream. I suggest that if you have multi-audio video that you use that together with the language. For example you can have "original" or "single-voice dub" or "director's commentary" for the track names. Many players will show you these when you select the stream to play, and it is very useful. Try not to repeat the information there, however. There is no reason to write "English language" when you can just set the track's language code.

Sometimes you may wish to add some attachments to your file. If you add an image, many file managers will display this picture as the icon for the final video file. If you are muxing some sort of film, and you happen to have the cover for it, it may be a good choice to put it in as the attachment.

Finally in the Global tab you are able to set the metadata for the whole file. The most common thing is to set the title. It will be prefilled by the data taken from the first file that you have added to the "Input files".

You can also add chapter information. Mkvmerge is able to read ogm chapter file as well as xml chapters. It also allows you to edit chapter files, but keep in mind that this tab functions as a separate application, so you won't be editing chapters that are added to your output file, you will need to save them in that tab, and then add them as the input to the file you are now muxing.

The interesting feature of mkvmerge gui is the "Copy to clipboard" which copies the exact terminal command that the application is planning to run. If you intend to mux many files you can set one up, just the way you like it, then copy the command to clipboard and make a bash script that does all the files you want at once.

I wanted to convert some XviD video files to avi. After searching online, I downloaded a couple programs including handbrake, but each one diminishes the quality, which is out of my expectation. Is there any program that can convert xvid to avi without any lose in sound or picture quality? Please recommend some program that can work on Mac Mountain Lion. Thanks!

Xvid is a compression technology through which large size videos can be compressed into small size files without compromising on the quality. Since Xvid uses the latest MPEG-4 ASP technology, there are only a limited number of players and devices that support playing these videos. Thus, one simple solution to play your Xvid videos on any standard DVD players is to convert Xvid to DVD. Moreover, you also get a physical backup of your Xvid videos which you can use in case of any accidental damage or loss of original files. Read the following part of the article to know more about how to burn Xvid to DVD.

There are only a limited number of DVD and Blu-ray players that are compatible playing Xvid videos like Sony DVP-SR170 Compact DVD Player. Some DivX DVD players also claim to support Xvid files, but the majority of them do not play the files as they are not compatible with latest MPEG-4 features like multiple B-frames and MPEG quantization. Thus, with limited availability of Xvid DVD player and compatibility issues with the rest, the best way is to convert Xvid to DVD and play them on any DVD player without any issues. There are a number of free as well as paid software that you can use to convert your Xvid files to DVD. Once burned, you also have a physical backup of your Xvid videos on a disc.

There are different types of Xvid to DVD converters available. If you want to get your files converted in just a few clicks without compromising on quality, professional burning software is needed. Wondershare DVD Creator is one such program that offers excellent quality in no time. The built-in video editor of the software helps in editing your videos by trimming, cropping, and cutting. You can also apply special effects and add watermarks. There are different menu templates available to make your DVD look interesting.

On the Source tab of the software interface, hit + icon to add the Xvid videos present on your computer. Search for the desired files and click OK to add. Multiple videos can be added here. You can also drag and drop the files to the software interface.

The left side of the screen will show the added videos as thumbnails. The pencil icon at the thumbnail can be used to edit the videos with the functions of cropping, trimming, adding watermarks, and more before burning to DVD if needed.

Move to the Menu tab of the software. The available designs of the template will be shown on the right side of the screen. You can choose from the given designs or can also download more by hitting the download icon.

Next, move to the Burn tab. A settings window will pop-up from where choose the option of Burn to disc. Enter the desired Disc Label, and select other disc parameters. Please remember to insert a blank disc in your PC and click Burn on the software interface to start burning your Xvid files to DVD. You can also burn our Xvid videos to ISO files if you do not require burning them to disc right away.

Xvid is a video codec library that follows the MPEG-4 video coding standards. It is not a format like MP4 and others, but basically a program that makes use of compression technology in order to save space and facilitate fast transfer speed. Xvid makes use of advanced ASP features like global and quarter pixel motion compensation, MPEG and custom quantization matrices, b-frames, Lumi masking, and trellis quantization. This is free software that is distributed under terms of the General Public License and is thus compatible with all platforms and operating systems where source code can be compiled. Your video file may have Xvid extension but there are many file containers that also have Xvid content. Depending on the container these files may be names. For instance, an AVI container will be named as video.Xvid.avi.

To select a video you would like to convert hit the Browse... button next to the Input File Name field. In the opened Windows Explorer window browse for the necessary video file:
