what are you plan on doing with the videos you convert to divx? i wouldnt recommend it becuase you will loose A LOT of quality.

I just want to have a small file i can put on CD.
And DivX would the best...quality/space. And compatible for other users over the net.

I do DV -> Divx all the time.

You can fit a lot on a CD. You can do TV Quality that is about 1 hour long with proper Divx Two-Pass Encoding. If you are willing to lose some quality you can probably fit 2 hours on a CD as well. My recommendation is to use DVDs if you can. You will be able to store a lot more and it will be a lot more convient to grab one DVD vs. 4-5 CDs for the same number of videos.

Hope this helps some.

How do you convert DV to Divx?

What kinda programs do you use for it?
What settings?

I have done some outstanding DivX conversions. I generally use Virtual Dub to do this.

I capture from DV to AVI using WinDV or DVIO (both work well), open the resulting file in VDub, edit/filter/etc, and save as a DivX file.

I've used both 5.0.x and 5.1.x codecs with good results using this method.

If you have an AIW, the latest version of MMC 9.0 can also do DV->Divx from the Media Library.
