Hey all.
I've been using Gordian Knot for years to make DivX out of my DVDs but I have noticed that the project has not been updated since like 2003, so I figured it was time to get up to date on what software I used, especially since it doesn't appear to support DivX 6 which I have not yet installed.
I did try DivX Create, which comes from the DivX people themselves, but honestly the simplistic interface is a joke, and the renderings were terrible.
I'm looking for a replacement for GKnot.
Something where I can specify the end filesize, the resolution, the compression quality, and yes IVTC... Anything not originally recorded as "FILM" I use IVTC for because it does a great job of making a smooth video from interlaced video files such as any "extra features" on DVDs or any DVDs of television shows. Its much cooler in my opinion to have a year's worth of a TV show compressed and burned onto one DVD than to have it spread across 6 or 7 DVDs. IVTC to correct framerate or something like that - does a good job despite the ever present warning that I should not use this option.
Is there an up to date tool that does all this, and does a good job of it too?
Anything that supports DivX 6? The FAQ doesn't seem to mention any new software, so what is everybody using these days??
I just reinstalled Windows on my PC and I was getting reading to put GKnot back on, but thought maybe I should come back here where I first heard of it and see what everybody's doing as of late.
Thanks.
