I'm no expert but :) I've been doing the divx thing for over a year and until yesterday poo-pooed s/vcd formats. Having done 2 vcds and a few svcd clips using TMPGEnc I think it's worth learning the moves so I can do divx and svcd on short movies, DVs or TV episodes.
My question really is how to minimise the setup stages, for divx I rip the DVD twice and do a file compare to ensure I have a clean set of vobs on hard disk. I feed the vobs to dvd2avi and then to gKnot. I'm satisfied with this process.
Using dvd2svcd it seems I've to rip the dvd yet again; a space consuming & slow process on P2s. I can of course use TMPGEnc [demo version] to read the vobs on hard disk and give the mpegs to vcdeasy to build the s/vcd iso.
Anyways - if someone is doing dual divx & s/vcd conversions and knows of time/work/space saving tips I'd like to hear.
