let me see if i got this...
if im watching a divx file, there is post-processing going on that cleans up the picture, correct? so, if i want to tranfer that file BACK to dvd then i loose the post-processing and end up encoding a dvd that looks less than the divx i was just watching.
so, is there no way to have some sort of program buffer happening between the divx file and the encoding process? i.e.....if the encoding goes frame-by-frame, couldnt it use the same divx decoder the player uses before encoding back to dvd?

geez, i dont think I even understand what the heck im saying. if anybody can understand that, let me know. thanks

Hi,

First of all, we're going to need to know what program(s) you're using to convert back to DVD. The only way the actual DivX decoder will be used in the process is if the application decodes the file using DirectShow. One way to do this would be with an AviSynth script using DirectShowSource() and feeding that to your DVD creation program. However, if you're going to use avisynth, there are many more and better denoising filters available that are much better than the DivX decoder filter. hope this makes sense and helps,
