How to change divx performance defaults?

[tomos]

i want to use auto GK to encode to divx6 but it automatically goes to the default settings - balanced. i'd like to use extreme or insane but no option to do this in augo gk according to this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=101489)

is there way to change the defaults in divx itself? if i could make insane the default, then i assume thats what autodk would use to encode?

is this possible?

thanks :)

You would need to ask len0x about this, but he previously announced that he would no longer be maintaining AutoGK and so I suspect that it does not fully support DivX 6.1 (although I have not verified this yet).

Recently some other applications have been developed by the good people here on the forums, including AVI.net and StaxRip. You may wish to try each of these and contact the developers with RFE's.

thanks for the info :)

so there's no reg setting or anything i can edit to make insane the default in the codec itself. that alone would do me tbh

To implement the feature of balanced, extreme, insane from within a program is obviously easy, I could add it to avi.NET now, trouble is..... it alters the final AVI size at the same bitrate so calculations for the original bitrate to use from the size calculation would need some kind of offset.

Maybe I could get close doing some tests myself, maybe when I've got some time.

I'd love DivX to have a feature where I could tell it a size (like XVID does) and it will make the AVI that size, rather than me specify a bitrate. But apart from that I do like DivX a lot.

personally, i prefer it to xvid - just 'looks' better to me

i'm playing around with avi.net right now, but it doesnt seem to work with high def transport streams?

Heh?

No, encoding mode (balanced, insane, etc) doesn't affect filesize when setting a target bit rate.
