mpeg layer 3 codec

[uiop]

Alright so here's the deal.

I'm running Adobe Premiere in XP, and i want to output my nicely made movie to divx with mp3 audio. Now i'm able to get the divx codec working for the video, but i don't have the mpeg layer 3 codec i once did in win98.

So whats the deal? Where is it, or where can i d/l it and install it?

Or is that what those 3rd party packs for?

please someone help me, its really important.

thanx

Bah, thought you said you were going with MPEG 3 instead of Divx, my bad.

Affraid I can't help much with the MP3 codec. :(

i think i might have phrased it wrong.

I got the divx part all good to go. What i can't do is get the audio to be in mp3 form since it is not in my codec list, get it?

in win98 and win2k it was there, but in XP it is not (i'm guessing thats the whole 3rd party software to come out on oct. 25th).

So i'm not sure whats going on, i really need the audio to be in mp3.

:ermm:

The Fraunhofer MP3 codec is shipped with WinXP; however, it's encoding ability is "limited" to 56-kbps. Until the MP3 packs are released (circa Oct. 25th), the Radium MP3 codec is the only alternative. Download here.

Note: The Radium MP3 codec is a "hacked" version of the Fraunhofer codec, so use it at your own risk!

i d/l installed it, and still, it did not show up in the compression tab within premiere ... i'm afraid i will never be able to do this :(

@uiop: Hmm... I don't know how else to help; guess you'll have to refer to an adobe premiere user for more info.

the problem is, i doubt its a premiere problem... i believe its an XP problem since in all other OS's the codec is already there and i have used it ...(remember all the controversy with XP not having mp3 codec?) ...
