What is Xvid, and how do you transcribe it?
Xvid (Xvid MPEG-4) is a video format you'll typically find from open-source sibling of DivX. Interchangeable with DivX for practical purposes — the audio track is what matters, and it extracts cleanly.
To turn it into text you don't need to convert anything first — upload the Xvid file (or paste a link) and Whipscribe returns a clean transcript with speaker labels and per-word timestamps, exportable to TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX. Everything runs on private infrastructure that never hands your file to a third-party AI service.
