Convert mpeg1 to divx/xvid

[f00bar]

I'm trying to convert some old VCD mpg's (mpeg1 video, mpeg2 audio). When DGIndex loads it sits there doing nothing for awhile and I get this:

It does the same thing even if I pick "No Audio Track"

:goodpost: You're right, ukb. I was a little too brief in my response to a new member, which could be viewed as being a little to abrubt. Mea Culpa!
