MJPG Codec

Hey,

I tired to start editing my Elfen Lied project again and realized since my reformatting I have no MJPG codec anymore ; /. I looked on google for a free download but all I get is a demo / 60 day trial. last time I could have sworn it was free...so does anyone have a link to the free version?

Thanks in advance.

The one I'm using is the PICVideo MJPEG codec. It's really good since all the frames are keyframes [good for exact cuts] and I'm assuming you want it for its speed.

They boast it to be 'The Fastest Video Codec'

The only drawback is it leaves a watermark for unregistered copies... but I'm also assuming it will just be used for bait and switch editing... so it should be fine:

**edit**
it says trial, does that mean that the codec is only good for x days or that watermark thinger? id guess the latter..

hmm, I don't know... it works in Magix fine... [sorry]

if no premiere users figure it out, I think an alternative MJPEG codec comes along with ffdshow. But I don't know for sure.
