hi, i have a big project a head of me, that i plan to accomplish offhandly, and i want to get over with. I want to get all my movies in my harddrive to DVD-s in .avi format, couse there is not a single MB free now. the thing is that i want also to be able to read tha .avi's from my DVD player which can't play bigger resolutions then 720x560, and most of my movies are 800x336, so i need to re-encode, which is better Divx 6.1 or Xvid 1.1.0 i use to encode PocketDivXEncoder which despite of its name will convert to Xvid also... 10x
really personal preference, but I am leaning toward Xvid. I tried the New Version of Divx, and didn't like it. I am starting to encode all my movies also, and I am going with Xvid.
I'd also go with XviD. PocketDivXEncoder is mencoder based though right? That would mean that despite its name, it can't encode to DivX at all, so that would mean DivX isn't an option anyway.
but do you agree that divx is faster, we are talking about the same output quality, i mean if Xvid and divx are set to produce the same , i mean absolutly the same quality, which would encode faster???
Test them. But like I said if PocketDivXEncoder is using mencoder for encoding then it can't use DivX 6.1 and it uses an internal XviD codec.
