I'm encoding basketball games with Divx 4.x. I don't need great sound. Small size and maintaining the audio sync is most important. What do you use?

Personally I'd try using LAME with a bitrate around 96k. Should work nicely for you.

Now that you mention it..I've been wanting to encode some UK games but haven't got around to it yet :)

EDIT- Check out the thread in this forum called "Anyone get Lame to work in Virtualdub? "

The only way I've gotten Lame to work is to also have the Radium Franhofer hack installed. But then I end up with a file saying that the audio codec is Franhofer IIS. Unless lame also uses this signature, Vdub is choosing the Radium, probably because it can't initialize Lame.

You might look into encoding the audio and video seperately and then muxing them back together. Check out the Gknot/Vdub guide on this site. It will walk you through all the very simple steps.

Just capture in PCM non compressed then recommpress to your prefered audio codec, it really doesnt take long when you only have to just recompress audio.
