DivX --> DivX

[mefa]

Cheers all
Is it possible to make an Conversion from divX 3xx to divX 4-5/Xvid???
I have just purchase an new DVD player (Webtech/Kiss DP500) which can play divX 4 and 5 and also Xvid formats!

Thanks iav

didn't try but my best guess would be to use virtualdub and save video and ausio uncompressed. Then recompress full streem with divx codex 4.xx+greater.

Hope this helps.

PS also check out the app dvd2avi, try to save project and rip with TMPGEnc to mpg format. Either one I think should work.

I didn't try - just my 2 cents

That should be straightforward. Load into Virtualdub. Save out the audio direct stream copy. This will be mp3, so rename the wav extension to mp3.

Select Audio>No audio.
Locate a copy of Gspot to get a rough idea of the original video bitrate (or do some sample encodes with a bit of simple maths).
Video>Fast recompress.
Video>Compression (select your DivX codec).>Configure.
Select 2-pass, first pass + selected bitrate. (plus any other settings you want to use).
OK>OK>File>Save as avi (tick the box to defer processing.)
Do the same again from *Video>Compression* selecting 2nd pass.
File>Job control>Start.
When you have your silent avi, load into nandub and interleave with the mp3 audio.

Well, I wonder if that worked? Perhaps if you get answers you could provide feedback - positive or otherwise?
