Hi,
I have successfully backed up several of my DVD's into DivX movies, using the method outlined here (http://larceny.worldonline.co.uk/dvd/index.htm). By encoding the audio at 112 kbits average, and encoding the video at 640 X 480, 0.2 bits/(pixel*frame), I am able to encode DivX movies that are pretty much just as good as the DVD originals. The downside is that a 25-minute segment takes up roughly 300 MB.
Does anyone know of superior methods or software to encode DivX movies? I hope to get DivX movies of DVD quality, but with smaller file sizes.
Thanks,
Kei
PS: I hope I am in the right forum. The other forums talk about specific topics like ripping, splitting, encoding audio, encoding video, etc, but my question is really all of the above.
