well i intend to use this program to rip the dvds i have ,but i found no good tutorial on its settings..i mean all guides i find r basic steps to get an avi but none i found explains the difference in options and what effect will they have on time or quality of the output

any help will be apreciated also if anyone has better suggestions to rip using something else other than dr divx that'd be cool


thnx

Auto GK might be a better option for you. I've never tried it myself but I have read some really good things about it. I'm not aware of a guide for Dr. Divx but feel free to ask any specific questions you have(you did this in a broad sense).

well i used auto gk and it opens up virtual dub for encoding but after ages of doin it it crashes when it's time to mux the audio and deletes all it did, dr divx worx fine i guess as far as i've tried
i have many questions on options and what effect they'll have as in Dr. Divx's Advanced Settings:

1. Bit-rate modulation ,high motion / low motion (what's that and what effect will it have?)

2.psychovisual enhancement?
3.preprocessing?
4.max keyframe interval?
5.scene change threshold?
6.number of passes and what effect would changin it have?
7.what will changin the frame rate do alos?



thnx a million

I used smartripper to vob...u can insert numerous vob's in Dr Divx as long as they are in order. Picture and audio was impressive.

[brock_leznar]

yea it can be plugged in dr divx they have a demo for that on their website

gettin vobs out of a dvd isn't the problem u can use smartripper or dvd decrypter....the settings r what confuse me
looll
anyone explainin those options for me is appreciated already lol


thnx

OK...sorry...you have to most likely experiment to get best settings. This is a link to a pdf document that deals mainly with the codec itself and explains a lot of the settings and their functions.

Check this out.

EDIT: I didn't see your post, ripnburn. Your link is probably much more comprehensive. In fact I'm getting it as I type.
