Success with Divx 5.0.3

tidal · 02-12-03, 12:09 AM

man divx 4.12 just did not want to work for me. i tried 5.0.3 and FINALLY got a movie to play. I'm alittle upset though because the quality is AWEFUL. will all the movies be pixilated or is it my settings? i did a 2 passes and 225 for bit rate.

tried playing the video at 400mhz and 200mhz.

we gotta be able to play a video smoothly.

i'm using the star wars 2 "breathing" trailer as my subject and the scenes are blending together. they should just pop up to the next scene, it plays fine on the divx player.

i am guessing the quality probably depends on what your source file was before u encoded. For me i did a encode of the movie van wilder, it was a DVD RIP. and it looked great on my axim, couldnt even see the pixels, but of course u can see it once in awhile when there is fast motion, but it worked great for me, also used the divx 5 codec. I am unsure what you are compressing it at but i do 200. hmmmm i am guessing it could just be the source.

no way dude.... this trailer i have is an awesome quality .mov that i convert to an uncompressed avi and then divx'ed it.

you will be happy to know i did figure out the problem. *laughs and shakes head* it was the

*droll rum please*

friggin DIVX player!!!!! I was using pocket divx. uninstalled it and loaded pocket mvp and BOOM it played the video fine!

i have two questions for you.... which profile are you using? are you selecting "deinterlace all frames" under Source Interlace?

thanks

ahhhh sweet, yeah i dont like pocket DIVX. I use pocket MVP for movies. and not to sound stupid but i am unsure what you are talking about. If i used any of those options i could tell you but I do not remember any of them so sorry i cant answer it. And just to ask what sizes are you getting, like from what size to what? for me i can get a 140 meg file down to around 40 or so.

i got a 12MB star wars 2 apple trailer to 1.6MB with great clarity.

i'm going to try a greg the bunny episode tonight since I have a 48MB CF card. Anything longer and i can't play it because of lack of storage.

falgun · 02-12-03, 04:04 PM

48 MB YUCK i feel for ya :) I think you would be well advised to save up around 100 bucks for a 512MB, or even 200 bucks for a 1 gig. I kind of wish i would of waited and got a 1 gig CF card. I have a 512, and i travel alot and work so i put all my mp3s on it and movies and even the 512 is not enough :)

All I have to say RCGamer, is read over your typing before you press enter. Give it an extra second, and put in the effort to convey your message accordingly. No one's calling you names, so don't get upset... just try a little harder that's all =D

I used 1 pass on Divx 5.03 with the Ice Age movie and it is fine.

It's possible that nobody knows the answer to your question.

i've givin up on the video thing at the moment. I have yet to duplicate another success story. *sigh*

i'm really frustrated at the moment and need to take a break.

geezer · 02-17-03, 03:53 AM

tidal - clear your head, take a another shot later, learn something new and come back here to help the rest of us!:)

What is the difference between one pass and two? I have ripped a DVD but it is currently about 80 mb to big for my 256mb card. This is really confusing stuff!
