What is the fastest way to convert XVID/DIVX TO DVD

[goheadtry]

I am wondering what the fastest way to convert Xvid/Divx to DVD is I have TMPGENC DVD AUTHOR, It takes a long time to do what it needs. I also have DVD FLICK it is not very fast either I am looking for a program that is very fast at doing this.


Can someone suggest some programs that can do this quickly without losing quality?

P.S. Preferably something free.

Matey - do you want fast, cheap or good (pick any two)

dvd flick i have found to be cheap and fast but a bit crap on the results (pixellation)

avi2dvd is good and cheap (fast enough for me) but slower than the above.

don't ask me about good+fast as i am a cheapskate myself.

cheers,

Quickest way is to burn to a CD or DVD "as is" and play it back on a DVD player that can play MPEG-4 files ala DivX and Xvid. Philips makes some models that are very reasonably priced.

No conversion necessary ... just burn and watch.

It depends on the Xvid/Divx resolution. If it's greater than the frame size of SD video the Divx players won't play it same goes for 720P MKV siles. I use Procoder 2 to convert to DVD. Does a great job but at a price..

Fastest is possibly ConvertXToDVD. There is a link on the page also to a earlier free version.

When I first started doing MPEG-2 DVD encoding I had an Intel P III 650Mhz with 256MB RAM running WinXP Home and it worked but it took sometimes as much as 36 - 48 hours to encode a single standard length (2 hours give or take) movie.

3 hours is nothing !!!

As for "all in one" programs ... I'm not fond of any of them but ConvertXtoDVD seems the "best" of the bunch but I don't know if it is the fastest per se.

Get ConvertXtoDVD, when dealing with downloaded Xvids it does a fine job and will convert at less than real time.
