I do *have* the same problem as MANY other users of DIVX Pro 5.0.3. I select my video resolution to 512x288, for example, and I want it to have 2MB per secon, but the codec limits MY BITRATE to a lesser AMOUNT. I mean, If I have a 10 second movie, with my 2MB per second selected rate, then I should have a total of 20MB. Instead, I get an approximately 3MB sized file. WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? So divx doesn't allow me to choose MY OWN bitrate?? Then why does it let me change it to a value of my own?? HOW CAN I OVERCOME THIS PROBLEM??! Is this a limitation of the codec or may it be an internal (and secret) 30 day trial for that option??? Thanks in advance._X_X_X_X_X_[small]- FireBird -[/small]
No. I am encoding with no sound attached. I have been searching over the internet and I found something about a DirectShow bug which interfers with the DIVX bitrate chosen by the user. I have uninstalled Media Player 7.1 (which has all the DirectShow codecs) and the DIVX bitrate started to work as I wanted, but not for long. After a few minutes of experiments I got the same problem again!! Now it is becoming worse! When encoding a movie, after approximately 30 minutes, the DIVX codec starts to encode at a very very very low bitrate, which results in a HUGE pixelization encoding. STRANGE!!!! Can it be a BUG, a limitation (a trial-type thing) or a "trojan-like" program which affects the DIVX codec? HELP!!!
