I have followed the DVD to DivX5 ripping guide, and evrything worked swell, up until when i got to Virtual Dub. Here I played a preview of the pseudo-avi file, and everyhting seemed just fine. Then, I re-encoded (or whatever the word for that is) the video with my DivX PRO 5.0.2 Codec using the 2-pass method (following all the instructions accordingly), and the resulting video seemed very lo-quality, the framerate stuttered, and when it didn't, it was too slow and thus constatntly out of sync witht the Riff-WAV audio track. Also the size of the file was enormous, even though it was just a 12 minute clip (I just ripped one chapter using SmartRipper) but still i suspect that is normal.
Then I tried a lot of different things in VirtualDub, and the results were ALWAYS the same. After many failed attempts, I felt I've already tried everything imaginable, and still there was no change. I've even used each and every one of the many codecs i have downloaded over the past few months, and changed all the parameters within them back and forth, and all gave me identical results. I'm starting to think it's my machine or sumtn'. I have only a 750Mhz Pentium III processor, and 320MB (64, and recently added 256) RAM.
Can someone help me???
Also, since the video was kindda short, and I wasn't intending to put it on any kind of disc and just keep the converted copy on my hard drive, I wasn't sure what to put in the Storage Media box in DV-Tool, so i guess my optimal bitrate is all wrong. Do you think that's what might be causing this problem?
HELP! I need somebody.. HELP!... and so on...
