Not able to transcode video with Avivo to h.264 codec

tastyweat · Mar 2, 2010, 12:01 AM

... other codecs work perfectly fine, but was really hoping to transcode in to 720p h.264 for better quality youtube uploading.

Anyone else had this problem?

Is there a hotfix I've overlooked?

Have had this same problem with both 10.1 and 10.2, haven't tried the 10.3 betas though...

My specs:
Q6600 @ 3.7
DFI X48
4GB generic ram
2x 5770
Win 7 x64

Cheers

I was just now able to transcode an AVI file to 720P H.264 using the AVIVO converter.

However, there's a caveat: The file was originally captured using FRAPS. AVIVO cannot do anything with native FRAPS files due to some kind of weird codec that it uses. So, I used VirtualDUB to open the file and then used the Save As AVI option. That created a 20 GB AVI file from my 4 GB FRAPS AVI file. The new 20GB file transcoded without a hitch using AVIVO converter.

I'm using Windows 7 x64 as are you.

And, I AM using the 10.3 Preview [Press] Drivers.

Ahhh... yeah, the stuff I'm trying to transcode is from a fraps capture - I'll have to give that vdub conversion a go, cheers

fraps uses its own codec so that's why it wont work straight ...
