Codecs not Found [exporting problems]

Elfed · Post by **Elfed** » Sun Jul 24, 2005 2:49 am

I'm curently reading the part of the guide for exporting my video. However, I seem to have one problem at the part where it tells me to choose the HuffYUV codec. It states in Adobe Premiere, the Video Options of it (the exporting options) right beside codec I am supposed to choose HuffYUV. I only have two codecs to choose from, apparently default ones that came with Premiere. There is one for NTSC and PAL. I have run AMVapp and everything, so I'm not too sure what the problem is.

So to resolve this problem it seems I need to get the codecs I need. I looked through the forums and found a thread where you open this exe file and it 'plants' the HuffYUV (and I tried one for Labrynth) codec where it is supposed to go. After running these exe files, I looked back into Premiere and still, ther e are only two codecs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

NTSC and PAL aren't codecs, they're formats...

What settings did you create your project with? I have a feeling you started it as a DV-based project and that's limiting what you can do...

Sorry, I'm not too bright.

Not sure what settings I chose. I suppose it would be "DV-based" as you call it. Considering under the option compressors (where I should be seeing the HuffYUV codec) there are "Microsoft DV NTSC" and "Microsoft DV PAL"

Does this help any?

I'm trying to be as patient as I can, but I've waited almost a day and no replies...and I really would like me video exported

If someone could perhaps tell me how to manually install the HuffYUV codec, that would be helpful. When I use the Installer (right clicking the huffyuv.inf file and choosing install) the codec does not appear in my Adobe Premiere. So...maybe if I could somehow actually take the codec and place it in a folder?

Deeply sorry for the triple posting! But I just figured out something, the root of my problem isn't the HuffYUV codec...it's the settings of my vid which is what I think Dokool was trying to point out. So, um, shit. Is there anyway I can fix this problem, like move my clips to another settings...or alter the settings...or something?

[paizuri: I'm sure you're very anxious to get your video exporting problems sorted out, but keep in mind that waiting 13 hours isn't exactly "most of a day" nor are the posters here obligated to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also your initial post was made in the wee hours of Sunday morning and many people do things on Sunday like go to church or other weekend activities and may not take the time to browse these forums. So while it may be frustrating to hit this seeming brick wall in your progress, please be more understanding of the way these Help forums work.]

My bad for all the posts...like you said I was just a bit anxious and really wanted to get my video exported and posted. Sorry.

Okay, well after many hours of work I finally figured out the problem which was embaressingly simple...In the export settings the file type was Microsoft DV AVI. The file type should have been simply Microsoft AVI.
