Casio em500 and divx

[Dave J]

i'm using tmpengc or whatever it's called, anyone know a better programme? also what are the bext divx, mpeg layer 3 and resolution settings to use?

[Paul]

good question dave, i just asked this on another thread...<br><br>

[Chris Edwards]

TMPGEnc encodes MPEG1/2's. It does not encode DivX (MPEG4) files. You will need virtual dub to do that.<br><br>http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/<br>

[Paul]

well i've been making divx's with it - go to 'output to file' - that seems to do it.<br><br>still, i'll be using virtual dub from now on.

Erm...whatrs the difference between an avi and a divx...is there one?  When I encoded a chop suey video from MPEG to avi, it gained about 20mb...not what i had in mind...so could someone help por favor?

[Paul]

i think an avi is just a video file with a .avi ending but it may not be encoded with divx - it might be video for windows or something.

[Village_Ideot]

the how do i use virtual dub to encode divx, and what will the file ending be?

[Paul]

you have to change the compression settings in the video menu and select the divx codec

[Village_Ideot]

I did that...lets see I encoded a video that is 2 minutes and 39 seconds.  I had a 179 kb/s video rate, and i had the frames decimated by 2.  I used Mpeg 3 audio, 48 kb/s with 22050 hz, stereo.  It is 240 by 352 <br><br>the file that came out was about 7 and a half megabytes...<br><br>shouldn't it be smaller?

[Paul]

yup, i have the same problem.<br><br>can someone who actually gets it to work properly me your processing settings file?

[RwGast]

Hmm well, try to lower your audio setting a little and do a  custom decimate by 4, also use double pass video. I have encoded an 80 meg fatboy slim mpeg into 4 meg at 240x320 and 32l sound or somthing.

[Paul]

can anyone post their settings file? chris?!

[RwGast]

Is ther such a file? Whats its name?

[Paul]

in virtual dub's file menu you can save the settings a .vcf file

[RwGast]

Well i wont be home tell sunday but i can post mine if you want? It works good for me but i run an oced ipaq so it may suck for a slower casio. Also im compliling my own 15 minute episodes of kids in the hall and monthy python if anyone would like a copy just mail me.
