I've attached a jpeg screenshot showing the settings that work for rotated xvid avi. I just saved the settings as a preset.

Meizu really should contact the software writers about licensing this and including it on the CD.
CORRECTION: I was converting Music Videos today and discovered Audio Khz should be 44.1 not 48 as in the picture below, or you may get lips out of sync. In any case, play around with audio bit rate & video bit rate if you have problems.

I am messing around with the settings you have up in the pic, but I dont have the option for XviD compression, is there something extra I have to do first to enable that?

Also when I first dropped my avi file into the little blue dots square it played audio only and the vid was just blank white. Is that ok, will it still play on meizu?

You should technically be able to run mencoder on your osx via command line. There is a thread i started that uses a script to control mencoder.

You will be able to locate a copy of mencoder. If you need help installing it just post here. Ill monitor this thread as well.:D

I have mencoder open, but i dont know how to get it to open the terminal other than to click cropdetect which i know isnt right.

what do I have to do first, a step by step would be nice thanks

I know this has been asked before, but no one seems to be answering it.

How do you enable Xvid encoding in mpeg streamclip?

Someone please answer b/c i've been searching high and low on the web for an answer to this but it's not posted anywhere!

I agree!!! please help, how to enable xvid in mpeg streamclip????

i also don't know how to enable xvid in mpeg streamclip..i already installed xvid component into quicktime......can somebody out there help .....:S

Bumpitty bump bump

just downloaded MPEGStreamclip after reading this forum...... converting a movie now..... will get bak later with results

no succes with this program? what are the specifications i need to do on it?

Try to get a x86 emulater on your mac. And then use BatMan.

Update: Here, found this for you , Colton, hope it works! Operating Systems: Win/Unix on Mac, Mac on Others,

well i was hoping to avoid getting something i would have to pay for but the crossover looks very good. any thing else you guys have to add couldn't hurt haha. but thanks for all your help any way, and if any one figures out how to work MPEG Streamclip let me know :-)

VMWare should be free though...

VMware, the emulator is free, the emulation creator, however, is not. You will have to use a free third party tool to create the emulation.

@rbudd + any other anxious mac user:

- though not supplying a definitive instruction, just replying to confirm I'm using OS X 10.4, converting with MPEG_Streamclip_(1.9.2) with Divx 5.1.1 codec, sound in MP2, and it works fine

Many Video Conventers can do this. Only need the following things:
320*240
Avi Divx
no more than 20fps.
