MOV to AVI/DivX Conversion Guide
This guide briefly describes a method that you can use to convert Apple QuickTime movies (.mov) (that uses the Sorensn codec, or whatever codec that is not compatible with Intel's SmartVID MOV to AVI converter) to DivX. Special thanks to TJ for reminding us of this method.
Start by downloading and installing the following software :
1. Converting the MOV :
Start QuickEditor and load your MOV file into it. Re-compress the Sorenson MOV to a Cinepak MOV. You MOV file is now ready to be converted to AVI.
2. Convert to AVI :
You should then use SmartVid to convert the MOV to AVI (SmartVid does not support Sorenson MOVs, this is why the previous step was needed).
3. Encode to DivX :
You can then use VirtualDub to encode to DivX.
