How to mux an ogg-audiotrack in .avi?

[Siku]

I'm wondering, how can I mux the ogg-audiotrack in my encoded .avi without muxing it with OggMux. Well, can I mux my .ogg with Nandub or with some program like Nandub?

I tried to make an .ogm with OggMux (I've read the Ogg Vorbis Audio & Ogg Media Streams- guide). But something went wrong: the audio was really choppy and it wasn't continuous, it made sounds like "riks" "raks", well you know...

I haven't found any other solutions to make an .avi with ogg-audiotrack than OggMux (maybe I'll try the OggMux again...). So is the any another solutions?

You could use graphedit, but best would be get oggmux working. Perhaps if you desribe your situation in more detail someone will be able to suggest a fix for you.

Well I'm just wondering what is best audio-format for DivX/Xvid. I have ripped & encoded many music-DVDs (you know, DVD from some artist's tour) and I'm heading to get maximum audio-quality.
What format would you recommend? (I don't have Dolby Digital, so I don't need 5.1 audio-formats).

[ivan_alias]

Well the format would depend on your needs.

Main choices are probably:

mp3
vorbis (ogg)

Simply do yourself some tests.

Personally I use vorbis at q3 for my music, q2 for films. Try a few things out and see what you like.

Well, I use MP3 whenever I don't use AC3. Ogg gives you the same quality as MP3 with about 32kbps less (128kbps MP3 ~ 96kbps OGG). So unless you really need every tiny bit you can get, stick with MP3 (I personally never use ogg in my rips).

Ok, perhaps I'm going to stick to the MP3 :) , because it seems to be to hard to make an ogg-audiotrack and advantage of smaller audiofile is insignifican.
By the way, what codecs you do use when you rip your DVDs. XviD? DivX? And which one is better now days, DivX or XviD?

[ivan_alias]

If you are new to video encoding, then for ease of use, stick to Divx 5. It gives good results and is really easy to use with Gknot. Just follow the guides and you'll get good results almost everytime - and you can use mp3 easily!

I have encoded few movies with XviD, and I've got pretty good results but I can't decide which of them (DivX or XviD) I'm going to use.
Now I'm asking YOUR opinion of this thing. :)
Which one is better...?

[DJ Bobo]

DivX5 is better than XviD because it offers bidirectional encoding, which is very helpfull if you wanna get the best possible quality by a given size.
Bidirectional encoding gives you about 33% better quality in 2-pass encoding mode or about 25% less size in quality based encoding.

Are you SURE about this?
I mean better quality?
