HD-DVD to DivX with AC3 multichannel audio

[jrivera04]

over the last few days i've converted 6 of my hd movies.. 5 out of the 6 ended up perfect.

clerks 2 - was AVC 264, used nero's decoders to decode.
apollo 13 - was VC1, used sonic vid decoder.
payback - was AVC 264, used nero's decoder.
the matrix, reloaded & revolutions - all VC1 - used sonic decoders.

I have the Nero HD plug in but I don't see the decoders in the DirectShow list. Which one did you use the get it to work?

Thanks.

I've used this guide to successfully convert about 20-25 HD-DVD's to DivX but have run into problems with the Transformers HD-DVD. The disk ripped just fine and EVODemux pulled the audio, video, and sub files off the .evo's just fine. The problem is when I try to convert the video to DivX. I think the problem is that transformers uses H.264 instead of VC1 so the typical graph doesn't work.

In the past I've either used these two:

Haali Media Splitter ---> WMVideo decoder DMO
MPV file ---> Sonic HD Demuxer ---> Sonic Video Decoder 4.2.2

Has anyone converted transformers HD-DVD successfully and if so what did they include in the graph file?

I am having trouble with transformers as well. I tried MPV file ---> Sonic HD Demuxer ---> Sonic Video Decoder 4.2.2 and it came out with green blocky parts. The cyberlink h.264 decoder crashes everything for me...

Good question.

I finally found a combo in graph edit that is working with h264 encoded HD-DVDs. I am currently trying out the following:
.mkv file --> Cyberlink Demuxer --> Cyberlink h264 decoder

Has anyone tried this combo with success? I guess I'll know in about 6 hours but was wondering if there is any quality difference or anything different from using Cyberlink's compared to .mkv file --> sonic demuxer --> sonic decoder or (evo file)haali --> wmv video decoder .

For certain widescreen movies, the encoding acording to this guide results in black bars at the top and bottom of the video. My question is what can I do to remove these in future encodings. Is there a way to reencode old encodings to remove this as well? I can't help but think that some of the quality is lost in set bitrate encoding in order to encode black bars instead the bitrate being dedicated to the video.
