Hi, try look on www.doom9.org. As a reviewers recommendation tehere is a best encoder Cinema Pack. This empeg encoder is better than bbMpeg and all othes, but it is not free. (try pepa2@seznam.cz), but DivX is not a suitable format for a "favourable" quality. Five months ago i try convert film (6 hours of my familly) from Super8 to mpeg. My chum have a Canopus HW card. After transformation utilizing CCD camera, 9 minutes takes about 2 Giga Bytes on HDD. Just image, it is full PAL, 25 MBytes per sec. We transform this video streem to mpeg2 format with maximum data rate (VBR and CBR, suffix for export is m2v or m2p, m2v is better, it is possible runs on Power DVD player ) and after this 45 minutes of my film take 7GB. It is very long file but more appropriate for me take into account a quality of my films (only 6 CD 740MB). I try DivX format but the artefacts and resolution of this format is unsatisfactory. m2v have full DVD for static scene and approx. 480x576 for action scene (interlaced or noninterlaced)

I use several progs to produce DivX because I like control over the various stages. However, if you want an all-in-one solution, I have used EasyDivX in the past, and it gave very good results. http://easydivx.does.it/

Jack,

I just recently wrote a step-by-step how to burn a dvd to divx.

The two applications you need are Smart Ripper and DVDx 2.0 and both can be searched on www.google.com.

I have dual operating system on my pc and I use bootmagic to load either of the operating system. One is win98(fat32) and the other is XP(ntfs).
Plus I also have another partition called DATA(fat32) that is on the F Drive.

This F Drive is use to store my rip dvd movie which can be really big(5 GB or more)

So why win98? Well to run Smart Ripper, it can only be run on Win98 operating system.

Let assume you have all the above.

I would log into win98 and run smart ripper but make sure you the dvd in the dvd rom. with some setting in the application, you can rip the dvd in 2-3 minutes with files that are about 5-6 GB which i put on F DRIVE. When the rip is complete, you log out win98 and log into XP.

Once you are in XP, you open DVDx 2.0 application and open the IFO file that was created by the Rip process which is in the F DRIVE. With some settings, you can encode(using codec DIVX 5.0) and this process will take 5 hours and 30 minutes for X-Men movie and keep it under 700 MB(using Custom Size). Usually when i encode the movie, i would do it right before i go to sleep

After the encoding was competed, i checked the quality of the divx and it is SUPERB and I could not believe it.

If you want this step-by-step documentation(2.8 MB), I will create you an account so that you can log into my computer and download it.

Here is my email address for your request: tuanvdang@hotmail.com

For very easy DVD to DivX comversion use EasyDivx

For the best quality DVD to DivX converstion use Gordian Knot available from www.doom9.org, this is quiet a complicted process but the guides they have are amazing, talking u thu every click u need to make. A film backed up onto 2-Divx-CDs using Gordian Knot is visually indestinguishable from the DVD original.
