MovieXone & compression help

[Beady]

I got MovieXone last ngiht and was playing around with it trying to simple overlay an mp3 on top of a music video because the sound was absolutely horrible. After having it render, the output file was 1.3 GIGS!! The original was only 35 meg. I used the DivX 5.01 codec to "compress" it, I even tried a few others, but none seemed to work.

Can someone please give me a few hints as to what I might have done wrong, or just not done at all?

If I can figure this out, maybe I'll have my own AMV to be flamed over!

Thanks.

if your going to do things in the "compressed state" and not the "raw" then "GET SOFTWARE THAT USES COMPRESSED FILES !"

this way you can edit and play with your files compressed; works for me.

**Warning**

unlike Adobe Primere, this program IS a Resource HOG!

I'm just starting out and using MovieXone myself. At first I was annoyed by the huge files that MovieXone uses. I solved the problem by getting my hands on TMPGEnc 2.5 at http://www.tmpgenc.net/. This handy little utility will let you compress that raw AVI to a MPEG1 format. The trial version is free for download.
Hope I helped.

Probably will. Thanks!

I'll take a look at it.
