With this codec pack, you can render (in MMD or MMM) your videos in 1080 HD in just under twenty minutes! And plus, if you are using Windows xp, you can open any video or audio you want!! But XP users need to stick to ver 9.9.5 because the latest versions cause MMD and MMM to crash when you try to render.
I’m going to show you how in just simple steps, one, it’s completely free so get ready! After downloading the program from looking down the bottom, open it up and when you look at the setup, you can select all audio and video formats, make sure that you have the encoding selected and have it set to Windows Media Player so it can open all video files, it will also give you the Classic Media Player if you prefer a better video Player instead.
Make sure that you have DivX and XVid activated, otherwise MMD won’t take it in. But when you’re finished, you don’t need to restart your computer, it runs up right away!
Now, when you open up MMD, switch your screen to 1290 x 1080 for the suitable screen size, if you think that’s too big, it’s perfect for a HD quality. Now when you are going to render your video, switch your video compressor to XVid which is listed just above the AVI raw option. You can also see that there are more additions as well so don’t hesitate to try them!
There is a TV that I have that is about 10 years old! No matter what the age or quality it supports, all DivX and XVid videos are supported! But keep it on XVid Home because it still gives you the best quality you want.
Press Render, now if you have a really great graphics card, you’ll be surprised by the speed of rendering! It renders for 1 second every ten frames it renders, so you’ll have your video finished in no time and with beautiful quality! But even if you have a low one, it’s still good, it will only take ten minutes longer.
YouTube supports the codec as well and even if you upload it, the quality is still good as before! There are no worries for YouTube to wreck your videos quality, it doesn’t do any harm at all.
If you want, you can turn the Mega pack on when you go on Windows Movie maker but unfortunately! for the xp version it still gives you a bad quality video, it’s just set that way and it can’t give you anything better.
Other things that the codec pack can do:
If you don’t have a DVD reader, you don’t need to get one! So scratch that and the codec pack reads it for you and you can’t even see it, it’s in all programs that you use! Happy watching!
If you have a video converter, it lets you concert videos in XVid codec now! But depends on how good your program is, you can still get a low quality.
Try finding the differences in the programs that you have and you’ll actually realize how much the codec pack has improved them!
Fact:
Did you know that if you take a screen shot picture of your video while it’s playing, open up paint and paste your picture in the program. For some reason, your video is playing in your paint program! O.o but when your video finishes, the moving picture just leaves nothing but the stage. How odd but this is a total mystery. So if you want to take a picture, pause your video first.
Here you go! Hope that gave you a huge amount of help!!
