Hi all,

I am new to divx, but a little bit experienced in SVCD.

The fastest SVCD encoding was the way, described by MB1 and Angel_SVCD, they called it : The Real AVI-Way.

Probably you know it:


slow via pseudo_avi:
vob -> dvd2avi -> avisynth -> vfapi.avi -> CinemaCraftEncoder CCE

advantage: low space on HD required,
disadvanmtage : slooow



much much faster,

but a lot space on HD required (roughly about 10-12 GB for 40 - 60 minutes or so):

via real avi:

vob -> dvd2avi -> vfapi_avi -> VirtualDub creates a real (big) avi by Leadtools Mjpeg filter
-> real.avi into CCE -> m2v

Though you have an extra step, Virtualdub creates an avi, which takes some time, the whole procedure wins a lot time, hours on my system.
Because CCE is about 4 times faster encoding mpeg2 from real avi, than compared to via avisynth's pseudo_avis.



So,

I have read in divx & GordianKnot guides, that divx5 could be feeded with real avis.

My question:


Would it result to a speed up, if you feed divx5 with a real avi ?

Or is vob -> divx5 faster ?


My system is a P III 600@800, FSB 100@133 MHz,
