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/

    • Been happy with Windows 11 myself even since first release in 2021, sure it hasn't always been perfect, but nothing is per say.. Issues i did have was minor ones, which is normal with any OS really. I still use Windows 10 at times on my unsupported Gaming Laptop, and i find myself using the Windows 11 Desktop more. Eventually replacing Gaming Laptop with a Windows 11 Compatible one somehow, someway this year or possibly next year at the latest, but its gonna happen--(May save all my Bing reward points except the 1000 to have extended support for 10) then work on getting quality Replacement hard)
    • Geez, this is dumb. I use my laptop sometimes in the dark when doing astrophotography to control my astro-PC... this explains why I have to keep entering my PIN when logging back in. So stupid. I can't see the keyboard in the dark, and I can't have lights everywhere to light it up because everything is very light sensitive (including my eyes!).
    • Naturally. I don't care about brand loyalty at all as it's all about price/performance/reliability etc (even what RejZoR said below is a great point to). basically bang-for-the-buck. because at the end of the day... one wants the cheapest possible price to maintain a certain minimum level of performance (or thereabouts). because generally after a certain point with CPU and GPU's the price starts to sky rocket without that much difference in performance where it really matters. p.s. historically I have bought more Intel CPU's and NVIDIA GPU's but I have had some AMD CPU's and one AMD GPU.
    • Both of these companies as well as Qualcomm and Apple need competition. Otherwise, they just coast. I don't prefer macOS, though I like some of Apple's hardware, but if anyone needs competition, it is Apple. Their prices are already outrageous and they need to have a reason to produce good hardware and at least keep prices remotely reasonable. (It is criminal what they charge for RAM upgrades especially.) Qualcomm needs to push AMD and Intel not to be so sloppy with the performance/efficiency aspect. Granted, AMD has been doing quite well in this respect considering they are not an ARM architecture. I personally want to have more options that truly compete with Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's on the Windows side. It is difficult to achieve what Apple does since they control the entire stack and that is fundamentally different for Windows PCs other than maybe Microsoft Surface PCs.
