DiVX Tutorial

[MediaMan]

"....within this tutorial you will find, in order, the steps required to take any NTSC DVD disc and convert to a high-quality DiVX edition that can fit on 1-4 CDs as you choose. More specifically, this tutorial will outline how to produce a DiVX copy with 5.1 AC3 audio encoding at a DVD bitrate, as well as a picture that has a resolution that bears the same dimensions as its DVD-counterpart. "

After my promised DVD2DVD-R, I shall do XViD methinks.

[mmonnin]

Great article.

[Souriat]

Aye good article tried doing this to xvid a while back using a quite simple tutorial and still managed to totally screw something up, with this i should be able to actually rip nicely.

After my promised DVD2DVD-R, I shall do XViD methinks.

That would be great :)

[Thrax]

I've been playing around with XViD a LOT lately, and I've got it down to basically 700mb = DVD quality with 6 channel dolby audio.

[Shorty]

Thanks for another great article Thrax :D

Id bookmark it but I think I can find it somehow ;D

[Thrax]

I've got plenty of articles swimming around in my head. It's just a matter of someone whipping me into doing them.

<font size=1>Like pulling me away from my precious games</font>

[mmonnin]

/me steals Thrax's games

[MediaMan]

Let me be the first to crack the whip...

heheheh

Good stuff...nice work.

[Thrax]

The article-bitch does not respond well to physical abuse!

[mmonnin]

~Thrax trudges off to finish his DVD2DVD tutorial~

[RobC]

"Size splitting doesnt work in '2 pass AVI' mode. Nevertheless you can split by chapters. "

any help as to what this mean, i am new to this dvd stuff. thanks for the time.

and yes i did liek the artical, i'm did think about trying it out

[FormFactor]

Great work!!!

MUCH better than the tutorials I have tried and botched.

Unfortunately I just picked up a dvd burner because I couldnt find a descent tutorial.

Oh well Im enjoying the burner anyways. But I have some freinds that can DEFINATELY use this.

[Thrax]

There's a tutorial that shall suit the needs of the DVD burner crowd coming quite soon.

[Unregistered]

Hmm.. I hope this article hasn't been ripped (this looks like it is the orig)... check out this link...

[primesuspect]

Thanks for that link, unregistered. That article was shamelessly ripped off from our site, down to the same screen captures :mad: :(

[Keebler]

Hardcore copyright violation, definitely.

[Thrax]

:mean:

[Shorty]

Webmaster and webhost have been informed. I await a response.

That is copyright infringement of both Short-Media and its author (Thrax).

[Dexter]

:mean:


Hey Thrax, they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...this guy imitated you so precisely that he just changed the author name and pretended to be you. You should be supremely flattered ;)


Dexter...

[Thrax]

Imitation is the flattest form of sincerity. ;)

[IC-Games]

Yes it is Thrax. I know how much work you put into this because of how good it is basically.

Shorty will sort this one out pronto for sure.

Thieving scum

[Thrax]

Good to see you 'round, Coaster. :)

[IC-Games]

Where did my post go? :banghead:
Hey thrax :)

Oh well, basically I was saying it was a great article and I hope its only found here soon.

Shorty and co will fix that :)

[Thrax]

Dude, where DID the post go..

[Kwitko]

For some reason you deleted your own post, Coaster. Problem solved.

[IC-Games]

Probably over at their forums - even the posts are not safe anymore ;)

I say contact the webhost

[IC-Games]

For some reason you deleted your own post, Coaster. Problem solved.

Did I? Oh well that explains it, I blame Shorty I was on the phone at the time, :D dont you have to tick the box though and submit? hey-ho

Anyway, I reiterate, has anyone contact the webhost provider?

[bothered]

The article-bitch does not respond well to physical abuse!

That's not what snuffie said. :eek2:
Would it work with PAL or is it ony NTSC?

[Thrax]

:eek2:

The article would work for PAL fine, but I suggest waiting for my more comprehensive tutorial that works with both PAL and NTSC equally.

[Shorty]

You eejit ;D

[IC-Games]

someones not paying attention today :D

[Thrax]

The thief is one dumb ****er, to tell you the truth.

First, he dates the article for August 4th, 2004, which was the current Australian date when it was posted.

But then, right below that, is the Short-Media double solid-lined frame dating the article at August 8th, 2003. Retards.

[MediaMan]

I have just emailed some 200 sites this blatant form of plagiarism. TechnoBabble will be a marked site. We'll hunt them down for you Thrax.

So is revenge with a nine inch long galvanized metal pipe.

[dark_stoner_iam]

lol. now THAT'S what I call entertaining revenge lol. the tutorial was easy to follow although the link to the <a href="http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Calcs/DivX4BitRate.zip">
DivX4 Bitrate Calculator by Spark
</a> seemed to be broken :(. ok, not necesarily broken but they wouldn't let me have it and i hate registering for sites that i couldn't care less about :P. I registered here cause i had to pop off a reply for that revenge comment of yours lol.

any ways, as to the quality of the the tutorial... I won't be able to say untill i see the outcome of my efforts. (28.7% so far.) The first movie i did (i just played around untill it played with out skipping on the sound) came out just fine. this movie though, i encrypted it the first time and it came out alright for some of it... then i fast fowarded to the middle of the movie and it seemed to lag on sound vs mouth movement (like a american cheesed chinese film (haha amarican CHEESED!! heheh).

so i searched and found your tutorial and thuss...here we are.

as i move to press POST i sit at 30% even. weeeeeee

I've been playing around with XViD a LOT lately, and I've got it down to basically 700mb = DVD quality with 6 channel dolby audio.
Interesting. How is the quality, say, compared to Nero Digital MPEG-4? I have been using the nero digital encoder to do the 6+GB>700MB conversion, maintaining the dolby digital channels, subtitles, and maybe one other additonal audio channel (2.0 stereo sp?).

I have been doing this with anime series lately. No, it does not have menus however, the the quality is outstanding. Of course, the less you pack, the more quality you attain.

The longer the movies, then you start to sacrifice quality, that is if you are like me and just want to deal with one disk. The LOTR series...forget about it as far as one disk is concerned. However, I was able to convert all 3 of the series (non-extended) to 1.5GB+/- files with the DD channel and no subtitles onto one DVD+R. Even moreso on a DL disk.

If you have a compatible set-top dvd player, it's as good as gold when it comes to marathons.
