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/

    • I think you forgot there's a ugly huge bar carved in the top of the screen.
    • There won't be any major changes from beta to release.
    • Having been using Windows for 30 years and 3 Surface Pros in the meantime (4,6,9) and recently bought a 15" macbook air m4. The OS is indeed a big deal. Hardware wise the surface pro feels as nice as macbook air, but Windows...man it's it's own enemy now
    • 2013 to 2017...wtf, is Steve on the wacky tabacky? Never heard of this or this Nathan guy in Australia.
    • Dell says it can't be blamed for Windows Night Light breaking on its Arm PCs by Usama Jawad Night Light is a very handy feature that is available by default in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Essentially, when you toggle it on, Windows reduces the emission of blue light from the display which in turn decreases the stress on eyes and can potentially aid in better sleep too. While this feature generally works quite well, this hasn't been the case so far on some Dell PCs. Now, Dell has acknowledged the issue in a recently published support document. As the situation currently stands, Night Light does not work on the secondary display on certain Windows Arm PCs when an external monitor is connected to them. This happens on the following PC models: Inspiron 14 5441 Inspiron 14 Plus 7441 Latitude 5455 Latitude 7455 XPS 13 9345 Now, Dell has confirmed that this is not due to any hardware or software issue on its side, it's just a limitation of the Qualcomm Oryon chipset. In essence, this is a problem that is outside the control of Dell. What this means is that while customers can utilize built-in and third-party tools to adjust the color profiles of their displays, Dell can't really get Windows Night Light to work as-is on external displays connected to any of the Arm PCs listed above. The company has emphasized that there are no plans to support Windows Night Light on its existing Arm PCs, and that customers will just have to make do with what they have. However, this feature will likely work as designed with the "next generation" of Arm computers, which will presumably leverage a chipset that is not held back by this limitation. Windows on Arm has enjoyed decent support from software developers in recent times; Microsoft will be hoping that it can keep the momentum going with its next Snapdragon PCs.
