XViD Ripping Guide

"DiVX tends to produce blocky video at bitrates whereas XViD does not. After all this ragging, you'd think DiVX is the worst thing ever, but it really isn't. DiVX is a quick-and-dirty solution to produce acceptably small downloads with reasonable viewing quality. XViD is a codec designed exactly for what we're doing here: making high quality video in MPEG4 format a reality."

Lesson three in Thrax's great series on how to back up your favorite movies. Read it here.

Heeeeell no!

I've still got DVD -> SVCD and DiVX/XViD -> SVCD!

...Then I have to find something else to do.

DiVX and XViD are cool and all, but why bother these days when you can get DVD+RW for $150-$200 and media in bulk for about $1/disc.

Far less people have a set-top compatible DVD burner than they do the means to rip a disc.

Hi there, I am writing to you as I need some help.
I have recently followed the tutorial 'XVID Ripping Guide' by Robert "Thrax" Hallock and every time my rip is exported I am unable to view the video I have compressed.
I have followed the tutorials word for word and attempted the tasks many times. Every time I try to play a completed rip in media player it says 'Windows Media Player cannot play the file. One or more codecs required to play the file could not be found' and in DivX I get 'there was an error' message.

I don't understand how this can happen, as I have the latest xvid codec and a fairly recent divx player. Moreover I have also tried to rip using the ‘DivX’ method and again I am unable to play my videos.

Do you happen to know what I maybe doing wrong?
Do I need additional codecs?
Did the tutorial miss something out?

If you can be of any help, I would be much appreciated.

Kind Thanks
Splung

@ Unregistered Guest (LAAAAAAATE):

This is probably due to some form of interlacing or telecining on your video source. Without a sample of your video, I can't tell you how to proceed. Suffice it to say, a telecined source is a video that blends fields (frames) together in a pattern to ramp the video up to 29.97 frames per second for a projector.. A telecined source displays lines through the picture at fast motion. An interlaced image blends all fields together, and only a thorough/complex deinterlacing engine (Which AutoGK/GK has) can make sense of it. Post a sample, though.. That's the best way to get the issue resolved.

@ Splung:

What's your source?
What program are you using?
What audio type are you using?

Try using Real VNC or Media Player Classic to play the movie.

Because I wish to leave my vids on my home network so I can stream them over my network media device, and so I don't have to deal with a stack of more media. xVids will save me some space.

the topic seems to be dead.....but i have a question...

the customised matrices and and other options that we set in Xvid encoder............
i set those Q-pel and turbo etc settings........but after encoding when i opened the encoder settings of Xvid........all had reverted back to default...

so the point is.....
1-are these options retained when autogk is coding???
2-doesn't autogk override these settings???
