Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from XVID to 264?
To successfully convert the XVID file to 264, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.XVID). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case 264 (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than 264).
What is a file conversion?

If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. XVID to 264. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting XVID files to 264 files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension 264, while before this step we had the XVID file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new 264 file, or not.
