How to make my first Divx ?

 

This is simple. We have made Neodivx for the beginner, then you will make it.

First, you must rip your dvd to your hard disk. Don't copy a dvd that you don't own, about the copyright, and so one. But you know that, don't you ?

Ok, to copy the dvd to your hard disk, just click on this button:

or on this one : 

follow the instructions

In 10 minutes, you will have your dvd on your hard disk.

Let's take the example, that you rip your dvd in f:\TestDVD1.

Now, click on:

You will have this screen:

Select the IFO file by clicking on the light button. This file is where you rip your dvd, in our example, in f:\TestAVI

Click on next.

You must now enter your LST file. Click on the light button, and go where you have ripped your dvd. In our example, this file is in f:\TestDVD.

Then, Click on Next:

Choose the Right Language. In this case, Select the English Track. If you have more than one english track, select the first one in the combobox.

Click Next:

Here, you must select the video type of your dvd. Look on the original box to see what's the correct output.

Click on next:

Here, you can control if everything is normal. If the time shows is correct, don’t change anything. If this time is ridicult, you can change then IFO chain to find the correct size. Remember, for best performance, after 1h50, select two cds...

Click on next:

The bitrate is the compression value for the divx. More this value is low, more the compression is high, less the quality is...If you have a bitrate around 1000 ( 800-1200), this is perfect. Now, if you have something like 6000, be carefull. Your divx will be very high size after!If your bitrate is under 800, it could be a good idea to place your divx in 2 cds...

Now, if you didn’t have the IFO, or if your time is not correct, you will not have a correct value. So, enter the time of your movie, like 00:00:00 where the first 00 is the hours, the second is the minutes, and the last is the seconds... Don’t use it if your bitrate is correct!

Click Next:

If you want to make all your divx, don’t change the value. Don’t place a number in there, even 0. Don’t change it. If you want to encode only a part to make a test for example, just place the number of frame you want ( like 3000). This will encode only what you want…

Click Next:

Here, you must enter a directory for your output avi. Just click on the lamp button. But, read this before: Don’t select the same directory of your vob files, choose a total empty directory, and never use the c:\ or d:\ for directory! Make a directory like c:\temp and so one. About the deinterlace function, there is the way: Look on the left. This is an interlace frame. To know if your movie is interlace, just make a test of 3000 images with the interlace function on no. If your images are correct, encode with interlace on NO. If your image are the sames of the right one, you must deinterlace.

But, remember two thing: Deinterlace images is more slower ( 10 to 30%) and the quality is lower. Than, don’t use it, if you don’t need it!

Click on Next:

Here, just select the work you want to do :

 1 pass ( Size not garantied !!!) : If you use this option, Neodivx will encode your divx in one pass. This goes faster, of course, because there is only one pass. But the size you want to have for your divx, will not be garantie. And the quality is lower than in two pass…

2 pass – 1° pass : This makes you able to make the first pass, and only this one. This could be usefull if you don”t have time to wait. But remember, you will have to make the second pass something to have your avi...

2 pass – 2° pass : Here, you can end your divx, after doing the first pass befoire.

2 pass – 1 et 2 pass : This is the option to choose. Neodivx will make all the pass without stopping, and after all the works, you will have a nice pretty avi...

3.11 Low Motion : This is the old Divx codec 3.11. With this codec you will do only one pass, but the video quality is worse than with the codec 4.12. 

3.11 Low Motion : The 3.11 Fast Motion is worse than the Low Motion.

Then, click on Next :

Here, you must choose.

If you want all the divx, click on Batch Command. The divx will be made with the image and the sound. The output file will be Film.AVI. and in our example, you could find it in f:\testAVI.

If you just want to encode the Image, select Encode.

If you want to record your parameters to encode more than one divx in ones, click on save to batch file ( See How to make more than one divx in ones )

If one option is not correct, you can change it by clicking on Change Option. ( See Explication on Neodivx's Option )

If you don't what to do, just click on Batch command, and you will have your divx in 3 hours.

If you have select the AutoDivx option, the work is over. If not, follow the AutoDivx here:
