Hey guys,

this is pretty sad. Asking this question leves me feeling like I've never touched a NLE before.

Anyway, here's the background scoop. Every now and again, I publish videos on the Internet. I usually publish them through Vegas 6, since I owned Vegas before I got PP2.0, and am used to the inerface.

Anyway, today I decided it's time to encode anothr video for the internet, but this time I wanted to use PP2.0. After all, I spent a lot more on this software than I did on Vegas.

So I go to save it as a movie file, so I can export the video as an .avi for the internet. PP2 found my XviD codec, no problem. I set the output to 320x240, piece of cake. But then, in the audio tab, I did't see the option to export the audio in an .mp3 format. Now in Vegas, I can render a video as an XviD .avi at 320x240 with mp3 audio encoding in a snap, but in my much more expensive software, I don't see an mp3 encoder anyplace?

Has anyone dealt with this before? If there's not a built-in mp3 codec (and I was sure there was) how can I add one (like LAME) to the PP2 codec library?

All these years of releasing broadcast quality videos, and I'm stumped by a grainy, crappy quality web video. Truly, I come before you a broken man. :)

Jim,

Instead of Export Movie, if you look under Adobe Media Encoder, you'll see options for Flash; Quicktime; RealMedia and Windows Media - but no mp3. You can convert to mp3 audio via Audition though. On the Web, doesn't everyone do Flash??

Jim,

Sorry if I missed the mark on the above post, but as a web developer, I just assume you'd want your videos to reach the widest possible range of viewers and Flash does that.

You may find what you're looking for in the Adobe Premiere Pro user forums at -

Although Flash seems to be the growing "Standard" to be, not everyone has moved to it.

Also, if you are reaching a large scale audience, you will need the server side application; Flash Server, which costs somewhere in the neighborhood of just less than $5K!.

So, not EVERYONE is going that way yet. ;-)

If I may disagree:

Flash is everywhere. In September of 2004, 97.3 percent of all web browsers already had a player installed that could play Flash 5 movies

(From: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/03/22/laszlo.html )

And please note that this was two years ago! The percentage will be even higher today.

I would suggest that 97%+ is virtually "everyone".

Furthermore, anyone who needs the server app has such a high viewer number that they've got to be making $$$. For us mortals on this forum, I think we'll be fine without it.
