Hey all,
I posted this question more than a year ago, never really got it answered back then, and am back on the same track as I was a year ago.
I've been scouring the guides all over, and I'm looking to see if anyone has input on this.
I have a bunch of MPGs that have been sitting on my HD for a while now - most of them are downloaded tv episodes. I want to encode them over to divx simply for storage purposes - I can't afford to make 1 VCD per episode, I want to try to get 3 episodes on DIVX per cd.
I use to do a lot of encoding (about a year ago, maybe more) and I would always Nandub everything. (So I would load the MPGs into Nandub and 2 pass it away...)
But it's been a long time, I no longer am as 'fluent' as I use to be w/ Nandub, and I've noticed a lot of new software, or updated software, out.
The guide I found (VCD --> DIVX) uses VirtualDub, and I'm looking to get 2 pass divx3 if at all possible, which VD doesn't support (unless they changed that too..)
Someone in the past suggested using the same method as SVCD->DIVX, but I've noted that DVD2AVI only seems to take 1 outa 10 of the VCD MPG formats I give it (I can't figure out why, they all seem to be MPEG1 formats too).
So I was just wondering what suggestions might be out there.. any specific software? Method? Steps?
Thanks.
