I'm trying to rip DVDs to Divx files. Single pass works fine, but the quality isn't nearly as good as multiple pass. But every time I do a multiple pass it just stops encoding in the middle of the process as though it's done -- no error messages, nothing. The file it gives me is always 87 or 89 MB and it either can't be played at all, or sometimes I get audio but no picture when I play the file.. It should, based on the betrate I'm encoding at, be closer to 1 - 1.5 GB.
Does anyone here have any idea what the problem is? I'm getting the same result on two different computers so I think it's a user error. I just can't for the life of me think of anything that would cause multipass to fail but have not problem with single pass.
:confused: It's killing me.
I'm using #1 DVD Ripper and DIVX 5.something. The guys at Maximum PC rave and rave endlessly about #1 DVD Ripper. For this purpose, I don't want more software and I know that this program works. I just want to figure out what I'm doing wrong, so "#1 DVD Ripper is for old ladies and pedophiles. Use Gordian Knot and DVD Decrypter, etc., etc.." won't really solve this.
If you guys can fix this or point me to why it's happening, I'll be able to take the dull spoon away from my neck and the police can put their guns down.... :D
