dv avi. virtualdub. and divx

[jamminotr]

Hi. This video stuff is making my head swim. Much more complex than mp3.

I can not get my digital captures from my sony camera and fire wire to work in virtualdub. I am trying like crazy to get my home movies to divx so I can put the tapes away.

I don't know how the dv avi. differs from a regular avi.

I have the vcd, and svcd thing down pretty good. but that is not how I want to archive my stuff.

So any one that has a dv cam and fire wire, we need to talk. Any one else who can help, we can talk too.

Thanks

Try Canopus DV File Converter, which is a lossless converter between DV formats.

Ok, I do have the Canopus procoder. Is this the progi that you are talking about? I see that Divx does show up it also.

The converter program is exactly as named, and can be found in the tools section.
