DivX to DVD

[norsine]

I have successfully transferred a DivX movie and added menus/chapters, etc onto DVD using NeroVision Express, however the picture quality is very "ordinary" with a lot of pixcelation (particularly when movement is involved). There is a lot of info out there on converting DVD to DivX but not much the other way round (ie: DivX to DVD). Am I expecting too much bearing in mind high compression with DivX or is there a better way of converting DivX to DVD? Or better still, is there a way of watching a DivX movie on a regular DVD player?
Any comments/help would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to framserve from Virtual Dub to TMPGEnc's DVD template and then burn that file.

huh...sorry im a layman....? framserve from Virtual Dub to TMPGEnc's DVD template ?... im a newb...clarify this please

[Tommyknocker]

What it does is have Virtual Dub open a video, where you can edit, add filters, etc. Then instead of saving it, your have TMPGEnc encode the video for you, using any TMPGEnc function as well. It is like running a video through two programs, but encoding it once. Click here.

That might not produce any better quaility thou (although TMPGenc is a much better encoder than Nero). The problem is garbage in, garbage out. You're DivX source is most likely of pretty poor quaility. Most DivX files then to be between 250-700MB with bitrates of 250kbit/s. Resolutions are normally 320x240 or there abouts.

Trying to convert that into a 720x480 8000kbit/s video will not improve the quaility. You can't improve the quaility about that of the poor source.

Generally speaking you should encode to a supported resolution at or just people your DivX resolution. But do not increase the resolution of your encode (that just doesn't work).
