Aloha to all

,

First off, I have to congratulate fibrizio on a great guide, actually both guides are great.

i have converted most of my divX movies to 320x240 with that other guide but this is my first trial at CONVERTING DVDs to AVIs.

I have some DVDs and i've been trying for ages to convert them to DivX but i have ALWAYS FAILED. I've tried easy encode and smart ripper..always crashed!!
I tried this guide at ripping " The Score " movie to DivX and I finally had my first DivX home made RIP!!
(eventhough it took 7 hours) :crooked:

The only problem though.....ITS size is 1.93GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and not like ~700MBs like the rest of DivX movies??

I followed all the instructions in the guide except for one:

I kept the resolution at 720x480
I did not convert it to 320x240, as i planned on ripping this DVD to an ordinary Divx movie, not for PPC
Should i have not changed that??

The Score's rip properties:

1.93GB

Size:
720x480

Audio:
Duration: 2:08
Bit rate: 1411kps
Audio sample size: 16 bit
Audio format: PCM

Video:
Frame rate: 29fps
Data rate: 272kps
Video sample size: 24 bit
Video compression: DivX codec

Now..by comparing to file properties with other DivX movies..I KNOW these properties are insanely HIGH...that's why the file is about 2GB and took 7 hours!!

What was i supposed to do to get a ~ 700MB file instead of this 2GB file??

OR

How can i convert it now to around 700MB to fit on a CD???
Please advise me??

Thanks...

P.S. of course i have virtual dub and DivX 5.05 and for this conversion i used the "DVD to AVI guide using FlakMPEG 0.95 or something like that"
