divx compression

[spongehead17]

Ok i went through a lot of the forum and anythign else i could find, but i still could not find out the difference between fast and low motion Divx files. What is the difference and which would produce the best quality?
Also i have numerous large mpeg movies on my computer and i was wondering what the best way to decrease the size of the files without losing much of the quality. I started to change them to divx, but i did not know if there was a better video compressor that i should use. thanks in advance.

Umm i Think that with DivX when theres a fast action scene the fps will increase, when theres not such a fast action scene it will decreace.

Not totally sure on that but i think ive heard it somewere before.

Ohh sorry i didnt answer your question, well i think fast motion should be better but will take up more space, slow motion will take up less space and not be as good quality.

Hope ive answered it now, i can't think straight right now im very busy

Just use Nandub or Fairuse to encode your DivX ok. Goto www.doom9.org or www.divx-digest.com for some guides.
Also you could use DivX5.


As for which is better between High and Low motion....

Low-Motion is better.

Low-motion handles all scenes good and when using Nandub the quality is great. As for High-motion it only handles high/fast motion scenes good and other scenes look worse, also High-motion did avg smaller in size.

Also Fairuse is the only tool I know that can encode using both Low and High motion and switch between them depending on the scene.

Here is the link to the guide on how to use Fairuse.

And here are some more guides for Nandub, XivD and DivX5

VCDHelp's does not have good guides for DivX encoding, but when it comes to guides for making VCD, SVCD and DVD's there #1


Hope this helps you.
