Hi.
what exactly I have to install for divx encoding in PD8? The DIVX installer package has a lot of stuff to install.

So is it enough if I just tick under the divx codec only the "DIVX codec 6.8.5 Codec"?

Without any of the generic playback, pass through,player,Dshow filter...and whatever.

I realise that my PD8 crashes alot of times during the divx encoding process and even when divx is just installed it crashes sometimes when I only start PD8. Without the DIVX package on my computer PD8 runs very stable without any error messages. I am able to encode AVC,MOV,AVI,MPEG2 everything is fine without the DIVX codec on my computer.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Cheers!
Martin

All you need is the codec. I don't remember all of the options, but you don't need the converter or the player for sure. What I frequently do is use PD to create an MPEG2 video in high quality, then I use Dr. DivX to make the conversion. It is an extra step, but the quality seems a little better and I still have the MPEG 2 that I save for myself. I haven't tried DivX since upgrading to v.8. It may work great now. __________________________________
