::sighs:: Premiere crashes with DiVX, and ONLY DiVX

looktothesky · Post by **looktothesky** » Thu Aug 08, 2002 10:45 pm

I've tried multiple DiVX files, different compression ratios, updated to Premiere 6.02, run DivFix on the files (no errors BTW) and I still get an Illegal Operation from Preminfo.dll

I know htis question has been asked like 34827934 times before, but I'm getting frustrated that NONE of my DiVX-encoded files are working!! Which means no more music videos for the time being

Any suggestions on 1) a fix or 2) new software?

You can't reliably use DivX source in Premiere. If you'd read any of the e^20673809465230985 previous posts asking this question, yuou'd know this.

Oh, right. Forgot to mention about a fix.

All those other posts also mention how to get around the problem.

is the fix "Deal with it."?

More like "Fugheddabahdit."

Well, if you have the space, you can transcode to another format.

Use VirtualDub and output it to Huffyuv...

This is how I do it - premiere doesn't like the YUY2 format sometimes, but usually it works fine with it. Either that, or use DivX and be veeery careful with which functions you use: a poorly encoded DivX file gives Premeire more problems than one encoded well.

If I'm using DVD source footage, I just encode the source footage into MPEG and then use it in Premiere, it works well. I don't like DiVX in Premiere, even though it will work.
