I make a DVD movie with Poser 5. What is the best AVI codec? I download DV codec, but appear a Poser message error and this codec not work. I need help Tanks.

DivX offers good quality and compression ratios.

If you have sufficient room on your hard drive, however, I recommend rendering the animation as an uncompressed AVI, or as an image sequence which can be assembled into an AVI later. Save the compression process for the last step, after you've finished editing and postworking the raw video.

A proper DVD requires MPEG-2 compression in order to work on most set-top players.

I've had weird issues with DivX. Is it a buggy as it seems to be?

What sort of weird issues? The DivX website has forums dedicated to reporting bugs, discussing technical problems with third-party software and hardware compatibility, offering encoding tips, etc.

Lockups, BSOD's, odd artifacts, not to mention Poser doesn't always like it. I usually save "full frames uncompressed". It takes a lot of space, but I have less headaches. I haven't used DivX for a long time, probably has some fixes.

Go to vcdhelp.com and download the codecs there under the tools section.

If you want quality, I'd suggest huffyuv. ~DM

If i'm rendering something relatively small, I usually render as uncompressed; If i'm doing something truly monstrous, I use cinepac with 0% compression; it's about the only codec I've been able to get poser to work with without screwing up in some way. seems pretty lossless, also (I know it's not, but there is no VISIBLY apparent loss).

Thanks, I'll have to check the links out. I don't need to compress just yet, but my drives are slowly filling up. If I wasn't still working with the files, I'd burn some CDs.
