HD-DVD to Xvid?

[tusk]

Everyone is saying to use EVO Demux...and that's great, but that gets me a non-mpeg mpv and mpa files...so where do you go from there? I've got no encoding software that can read an HD video stream regardless of the file extension :P

I want to convert this HD-DVD to an Xvid file with a high resolution...that's all :P

MPV? That sounds like elementary MPEG-2, which can be processed via DGIndex, and fed into AviSynth, which will in turn feed an encoder (xvid through virtualdub for example) uncompressed video.

That should get the job done.

Thanks for the reply, but as I said above this is a non-mpeg mpv file...so it's an HD video stream, VC1 with an mpeg2 extension...if I wanted to I could change it to .std and it would still be the same thing VC1 stream that I apparently can't decode :(

@tusk: you can just rebuild a vc1-only EVO file (getting rid of all other video streams, along with the audio and subtitle streams) using EvoDemux and feed that to MeGUI using an AviSynth script. Then set the MeGUI output to Xvid (which ever profile you prefer) within an AVI or MKV container (or even raw m4v; again, at your preference). Check out the main EvoDemux thread for full instructions --I know the thread is getting a little long, but you should be able to locate the necessary information if you search it.
