:confused: Hi everybody.
I would like to know a few things about GordianKnot and Divx in general:
1.- How can i split the big avi file created by gordian knot(after encoding obviously) in the size of many cds?(3 in this case)
2.-How can I watch vobsub subtitles with the DivX movie? what program shows these selectable subs? I have been able only to watch .srt subs
3.-How can i split the .srt (subrip) subtitles in many cds?
4.-How should I write the DivX movie and vobsub(or subrip?) subtitle files to CD's in order to be able to watch the movie with selectable subson standalone DivX/DVD players?
5.- I would like also to know what are the standards for DivX and Xvid for both PC and standalone players: Bitrate, audio streams, subs, version of codec(3.11, 5, XVid), and What DivX player(PC and standalone) do you recommend?

If at least you can put here a link to know the answers Im looking for, I will thank you very much. :) :D

Greetings...
Boris

Here are a few links: Splitting -- Doom9's VirtualDubMod Procedures Guide (http://www.doom9.org/vdubmod-procedures.htm) has file splitting at the bottom. In addition, it's also in every one of Doom9's DivX guides (using Nandub instead, though I prefer VdubMod). Here's the link: http://www.doom9.org/gknot-split.htm

Vobsub subtitles -- Make sure that you installed VobSubDirect when you installed VobSub, which I believe is the default. Then, all you need do is have your subtitle files in the same folder with the same name as your .avi, and VobSubDirect will pop up a control that looks like a big green arrow in your system tray when you start playing the .avi file.

Splitting subtitle files -- It's in the same link in the Gknot guide above.

Separate subs with AVIs on Standalone DivX players -- Consult your player manufacturer. The AVI container does not support subtitle streams. You may need a different video container, special subtitle formats, or you may need to burn the subtitles into the video stream.

DivX and/or XviD standards -- Both DivX and XviD are both MPEG-4, which is a standard of the Motion Picture Experts Group. That has little to do with PC or player capability. For more on XviD, see the XviD Q&A in the XviD forum. For more on DivX and the Certification profiles, see the DivX Network website, specifically, http://www.divx.com/divxcertified/. These are specific limitations to codec settings for specific types of hardware.
