"DivX converter" like encoding

[fberreth]

Hello,

I would like to generate a .divx container with audio/video/subtitles and chapters like "DivX Converter" does (that means in the same format so my standalone player can play it).

I know how to make an AVI with audio/video using vdub,avisynth,xvid,lame for example but this will not contain chapters.

Let's assume you get the chapter information & subtitles from a VOB/IFO, how do I make the subtitles (multiple of them) and how do I get the chapter information into the stream?

Pretty much the only reason why I would like to do this is because of video quality (XVid being better and DivX Converter limits frame quality to 4).

Thanks,
Frank.

Another way of doing this is by using the MP4 container, since MP4 can contain multiple audio/video/subtitle+chapters. Same goes for MKV for that matter. MKV is better in that regard because you can mux pretty much anything in it (MP4 has limitations). But mkv is hardly supported at all in the SAP market.

A DivX certified player won't necessarily play MP4 files because it's a completely different thing alltogether. A Nero Digital certified player would play them fine though (dunno if one excludes the other ;)).

DivX's container is a hack of the AVI container, and I don't know of any other applications that output to .divx format.

It's technically feasible, obviously, but the tools aren't really there yet.

For the subtitles, I can't help you, I need to learn a bit more myself. All I can say is use SubRip to rip the .sub file from the vob. Then you'll need to use the OCR (caracter recognition) function in SubRip to convert them to .srt. I can't help you further sorry =)
