    TMPGEnc and the disappearing Video Codecs

    It's weird. It used to show it. Then I was testing out something and uninstalled DivX 5.0, installed 3.11 then 4.0 then installed 5.0. Now when I go into TMPGEnc and try to save as AVI I don't see DivX as one of my options and I used to. I went into Virtual Dub to see what it had and sure...

    divx (still) sucks

    I installed the new divx 4.12 codec and XMPEG 4.2a which THW raves on about. And YET again this piece of [-peep-] gives more blue screens and errors then anything else I've seen. I've been trying to use both divx-encoder , flask/xmpeg and virtual dub on different computersystems and it allways...

    Divx Codec crashes my system - any advice?

    I just installed the Divx 4.11 codec, and while playing an .avi or .mpeg (using windows media player 7) it causes my system to either reboot or crash to a blue-screen-o-fatal exception error. I updated the drivers for my Hercules 3D Prophet III (aka gForce 3) and it still happens. It seems to...

    Divx4.11 and Xmpeg 4.2

    Yesterday, I used Divx 4.11 and Xmpeg 4.2a. The performance of SSE/MMX optimized encoding was AMAZING. Here is my performance results: 1) Xmpeg (the one before 4.2a) + Divx 4 + Reference iDCT = 13 hours of encoding (single pass). Average FPS 3-4. 2) FairUse, 12-13 hours of encoding. 3) Xmpeg...

    How to adjust brightness?

    Anybody knows how to increase the brightness of Divx files? When I convert DVD's to Divx, especially dark movies (ie. Godzilla) became too dark. Is there a way to cure this except increasing the brightness of your monitor :)? <font color=blue>Get a T-Bird... Impressive CPU + House heater in one...

    How to mix AC3 and Divx?

    I used FairUse to encode the video but after encoding the tool said "You should now mix audio" I checked the directory, there is a Divx file + an AC3 file. I hoped Virtual Dub can do the job, but it can only mix WAV and avi. Is there a tool that can mix AC3 and Divx avi? Regards, BTW...

    Splitting the AVI file

    Hi guys, I posted this question in Divx forum but couldn't get a reply. Maybe you can come up with something. I recently started to use Divx and converted my first DVD to avi. The quality is very nice but it took 1.1Gb. So I want to put this movie into two CDs (I used a bit rate calculator and...

    Help! XMpeg Won't work

    I have been trying to convert a DVD into a Divx. Everytime I try to encode the DVD, I get an error message that reads "An error occured when trying to generate the file. Check that you're not using the output file or the program is set up correctly." I followed the setup in the newest Tom's...

    Disappointingly inaccurate article!!

    Hi THG guys Just read your article about DivX 4.01/XMpeg 41. I spent the last 5 days doing heavy experimentation with DivX encoding, with 3.2, 4.01 and 4.02 codecs (for my own use) and I was REALLY surprised when I compared my findings with your article. DivX 3.2 offered a solution for those...

    Tom's Divx benchmark

    I couldn't find an appropriate forum to post this question, please bear with me........ When Tom posts his divx encoding benchmarks he does so in FPS(frames per second, I would believe). How does this relate to encoding an entire movie? Given his FPS benchmark, is there a way to figure the...

    DivX:-; vs. SVCD

    I find the recent two articles on DivX in comparison to MPEG2 relatively misleading. The statement that a 9-to-1 compression is even remotely likely is about as convincing that VHS copy of a DVD renders comparable results. I have spent considerable time both in the MPEG2 (SVCD) and DivX arena...

    DivX Duron x Athlon

    Hi folks Does anyone has the experience to say if an Athlon is any better than a Duron when it comes to DivX Play? Is the larger L2 Cache important in this matter? Note: I have a Duron running at 900Mhz with 128M PC133 Cas2 and, playing home videos coded with DivX Fast 6000Kb/s is not smooth...

    cropping mpg4/DivX?

    I have a Divx copy of Nikita recorded with a AIW Radeon that has a small fuzzy strip on top. I want to crop the bad part off, but don't know how. Flask would let me do it if I was converting but it is already converted to DivX. VD has resize but I don't see a crop. Also is there a way to set...

    bad Divx playback on 550 Athlon

    I recently started converting my DVD movies to DivX so I can watch them on my computer without getting up and getting the DVD (lazy, I know). I originally tried this a while ago with Windows 98, and it was dog slow, I couldn't even get normal size playback to run smoothly. I now run Win2k...

    Sync during random access

    Is it possible to keep sound and video in sync during a fast forward or random access with DivX? My DivX movies play fine as long as you start from the beginning but sound leads video after a fast forward. I seem to remember reading that starting from the beginning is required due to the...
