Divx ---> DVD, please tell me how.

[dvddarren]

I have been trying to convert divx to dvd for a week now with no success. If i manage to get it converted, i get lip sync problems.

Could someone please give me a tutorial on the best and easiest way of doing this, preferably using cce sp as ive heard this is the quickest.

Alos, some of my divx files have AC3 sound, how would this get converted? I have tried to extract the sound using vdub, but with no luck.

cheers

What video quality are you expecting? You can't take a highly compressed divx file and expect it to provide good quality in DVD format. Divx is intended for small, highly compressed video files for download over the internet and playback on computers.

I assume you have the divx codec installed on your PC. I can load divx avi files into Ulead Video Studio 6, then edit them and save them back out to DV AVI format. Then I use TmpegEnc to encode into DVD format.

I do sometimes have lip sync problems, but that is often because the divx file was not encoded properly.

Im not expecting miracles, as far as quality is concerned.

Whenever I ask this question, i get the same response, 'why you wanna do that?'.

I want to put the divx films onto dvdr so i can watch them in my PS2 and my mates dvd player that cant play svcd.

I have the nimo codec pack v5 installed.

Why do you not just output the file from ulead video studio to a dvd mpeg, why do you use DV AVI first, then use tmpeg??
Is video studio any good at converting divx to dvd standard mpeg??

Also, what about divx with AC3 sound, nothing seems to want to convert the sound.

to manage AC3 get HeadAC3he, that should do the trick.
for the AVI, either follow rrhea's advice or you can take your AVI, load it in VDub/NanDub and go re-encode it into another AVI CoDec that TMPGEnc will definitely read. from there you can load in TMPGEnc and encode it to a DVD MPEG-2. either way you do it, you'll have to do 2 conversions and the resulting file will look worse than the source.

if you really wanna do it, there ya go. i don't recommend it, i personally don't like DivX, but if i had a DivX movie i'd play it where it is meant to be played, on the computer, SVCD is for standalones and it looks better.

DivX looks good, but SVCD makes it look decent, might as well get the SVCD. Reencoding DivX files results in massive loss of quality (not always visible, but it IS there).
The PS2 is a horrible DVD player, just fork up money and get a standalone.

I have just tried Ulead Video Studio 6 to convert a vcd to dvd ready mpeg, and the result was really bad lipsync.

Is this a common problem with vid studio?
