Our moderator ChickenMan, easily recognized by the dancing chicken next to his name, has added another DivX tutorial. This time a guide on how to convert your DivX movies to a playable DVD±R disc. The tutorial is written in such a way that it should be understandable for also people new to DivX and DVD recording.
DivX's that have been made properly are of superb quality. They can be 1 or 2x 716 mb long, encoded with DivX or Xvid codec with 5 channel AC3 sound or stereo MP3 and all backed up from a DVD. While these have been traditionally converted by many to VCD or SVCD with great results, but always with a drop in picture quality, I thought why not convert back to DVD, retain the DivX picture quality (but a drop from the origianl DVD) and now only on 1 disk. |
This Tutorial makes a multi-region, auto starting movie (no menu or extras) with 1 audio track and no subtitles. It works for me. There may be a better or simpler way, I just haven't found it yet.
This procedure uses DVD2SVCD as the work engine and it basically does all the thinking for you (I like it!). Those making (S)VCD's with DVD2SVCD will feel right at home here. CCE is used as the encoder. SpuceUp is used for the Authoring and Sonic sold out a while back, it is no longer available for sale. However, a demo version is still available.
You can read the entire tutorial here. You can discuss any issues you might have in our DivX and Video Editing Forum.
