XVID 1080p question.

[Big Vern]

What is the easiest way to encode to XVID 1080 and what software?

Reason I ask?

I have just got a new TV, the LG 42LH7000. This TV has a USB port that plays movies right off of a USB pen drive. It plays DIVX and XVID in HD. It also plays MKVs, but is very picky about what MKV it will play. I just wanna re-encode a blu ray film or 2 and see what the quality/playability is like via a USB pen dive.

Thanks.

*EDIT* Here are the features for USB pen drive movies, so maybe someone can tell me and easier way to go other than XVID?

The limitations on Matroska files are probably down to the video encoding parameters, not anything special with the container (as I assume your TV probably doesn't do things like ordered chapters anyway). Run some test encodes with x264 and see what encoding parameters you can get away with (level/profile limitations, etc.).

Yes. Use x264 instead of Xvid. Your TV supports it (H.264) and it will give better quality for a given size.

Have you tried h264 and aac in MP4 container? MP4 is listed there in your specs... if you already have mkv files you could just remux it into mp4 (with maybe an audio convertion)
