anyone care to share a guide with me on how to convert VCD and DVD movies to DIVX and XVID? also i downloaded some divx/xvid movies and the filesize are actually smaller than the dvd/vcd movie but its a whole movie. i need a guide on how to do that too cause i got heaps of chinese movies that i want to share with people here. Thanks in advance.
hmmm a bit complex to show u a diagram/pictures . give me bit of time, try to get it for ya. Its not really hard to do, but it takes alot of time to re-encode it out.
If you want to convert the dvd file to Divx, you can use a dvd ripper to do that. But it will take like 1 or 2 hr to do the whole thing, that will also depend what kind of quality you want...
OKAY....... Here's how i do it. download VIRTUAL DUB : http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdub/VirtualDub-1.6.17.zip?download 1. First open up/install the Virtual Dub 2. Click on "Open Video File....." 3. Locate the DVD/VCD 4. Find Video file ( its the biggest file there if its dvd it's in separate/multiple file : u need to encode one by one ifs its DVD) 5. Wait since it will interleaved into edit form 6. Configure the audio go to Audio tab, follow by clicking Full Processing mode follow by Coversion 7. Go to Compression in audio tab and select which audio output encoding u what to make it (mp3 quality is MPEG layer 3)-( the more Hz u do the more the file will be, normal clear audio will be 44100Hz) 8. Click on Video tab and click on Direct Stream Copy - Must do this unless u want 1gig+ files 9. On Video Tab click on Compression- Scroll Down and find Xvid 10. Go to File Tab, click on Save as AVI and SAVE!!! For dvd's with multiple video files continue to encode all the files. Then all you need to do is open one then follow by clicking on Append AVI segment, and get next AVI follow and etc. Sori i just formated computer, didn't have chance to re-install Photoshop. And if anything i typed wrong, excuse me for the last of sleep i had ^^ worked on this at 3am ^^
I only hope it helps u. Really took me trail and error, and of course a teacher(bugging my mates!) to learn all this ^^ There's many ways to do it, and if anything i typed/giving direction is wrong pm me ^^
and here im asking can virutual dub :- during conversion using virtual dub, can i mux subtitle(hardcore subtitle to movie) along the movie ?? one more thing how long to encore 1.5hr movie 700mb ?
I've tried virtualdub and a few others, but they take too much time. If you're looking for speed, winavi is the best!
I believe that the speed of your CPU also matters. With a e6600, I can encode a file to divx in about half hour with VirtualDub. So try doing it on a computer that you're not going to need to use for browsing or gaming in the middle of an encode.
If you want to do DVD. there is this really convenient and good program called FairUse wizard2. Its a really good program for ripping ur dvds.
