THE DivX Encoding Thread


Question

Ok, so I've gotten some questions from people about encoding DivX movies since I posted in this thread:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?s=&a...ST&f=12&t=71012

I've created this thread in hopes that those who do already encode movies via DivX will post their setups here.

If you have just a question or a tip, please put QUESTION or TIP at the top of your post (size is LARGE).

DO NOT DISCUSS BOOTLEG MOVIES; TRADING VIA P2P, IRC, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN THIS THREAD!

This is about backing up your movies to DivX and also encoding homemade movies to DivX. Personally, I typically only watch the DVD version of my DVDs once. Then they get ripped to DivX and put on a USB2.0 HD so I can watch them on any computer in the house (or TV). This reduces scratching and wear and tear on the DVD itself.

Format your posts like this:

Ripping Program:

Encoding Program:

Settings:(screenshot{s} will do)

Any Notes Or Questions:

Mine:

Ripping Program: DVD Decrypter ( http://www.dvddecrypter.com/download.asp )

Encoding Program: Vidomi ( http://www.vidomi.com/ )

Settings: See Screenshot

Notes:

If you get garbled sound after encoding -

  • Update your lame codecs here (there are like, 4 lame files in the Vidomi directory, just copy over them with these): http://mitiok.free.fr/lame-3.93.1.zip
  • Change the output frequency from "Same as source" to "44100"

I don't use GMC or Quarter Pixel because they cause stuttering. Even on a 1Ghz comp. There's also no quality gain using them IMO.

TIP

The best way to test settings is to rip a small something from a DVD. Instead of ripping the entire movie area, rip an intro or some other SMALL clip from the dvd (there are other parts you can rip aside from the main movie file).

Then just encode that over and over with different settings and compare quality. Saves time, saves space, etc.

I usually rip like a Dreamworks intro or something like that. Lasts about 15 seconds, has enough sound and movement to see if there will be any noticable probs, etc. Fox intro isn't that good. Just those lights going back and forth.

I don't like VIDOMI at all since they "stole" much of their code from the X-Vid project.

Besides Gordian Knot is by far superior IMO ...

If you wan't to learn from some of the best go here .. http://forum.doom9.org and the homepage http://www.doom9.org/

    • Minecraft Chase the Skies update and Vibrant Visuals graphics overhaul lands next week by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The second major game update of the year for Minecraft is almost here. Mojang today announced that its next Game Drop, Chase the Skies, is landing on June 17. Alongside it, the highly anticipated graphics overhaul, dubbed Vibrant Visuals, will be available too, making the day a rather big occasion for Minecraft fans. The Chase the Skies update has a large number of gameplay features and content, but one of the biggest is the expansion of the Ghast. Now, players will be able to find Happy Ghasts as a tameable mob, letting up to five players ride them on journeys across the skies. To get one, players will have to find small, dehydrated Ghasts near fossil structures in the Nether, then bring it to the overworld and feed it plenty of water. It is also possible to craft dried Ghasts from Nether materials. Other features of this update include a handy player locator bar, better leads functionality, craftable saddles, a new music disc, and more. As for the Vibrant Visuals upgrade, Mojang is touting a visual refresh that lets players witness how lights and shadows affect the Minecraft world. "Fly high with your happy ghast to watch the sunrise reflect on the rippling ocean, make art with shifting shadows, descend into dark depths, or simply sit back and enjoy the vivid beauty of each biome," says the studio. "With updated in-game visuals you’ll see how light and shadow transform the Overworld – water reflects, forests become shaded, fog drifts, and waterfalls glimmer in the light." The currently supported devices for Vibrant Visuals include Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, as well as Android (Android: Adreno 640, Mali-G68, Mali-G77, or Xclipse 530 or higher) and iOS (A12 or M1 or higher.)   Unfortunately, the Vibrant Visuals upgrade will only be available on the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, at least for now. Mojang has said that it plans to bring the visual overhaul to the Java Edition of Minecraft at a later date, but no information or release window has been announced just yet.
