Creating
Divx Files:
To
create DivX files you need the divx
codec , the mp3
codec and a application to encode your AVI files like
Virtual
Dub.
Before
you start you need to have an uncompressed Avi video file
If
you would like help about Creating Uncompressed Avi's by
Exporting them from your Video Editing Application [we use
Premiere as an example] -

The
Following help file from Nicky's
Pages of Digital Solutions
Open
the AVI file you wish to convert in VirtualDub.
And
then go to: 'Video > Compression...'
Up
pops the following box below. Choose Mpeg-4 Low-Motion and
hit the configure button (highlighted in red).
Then
up pops the codec options. Use one of the bitrate calculators
that can be downloaded from Digital Digest to make sure
the movie will fit into the size you need. 650kbps will
usually fit ANY movie on a single CD, but you can usually
get away with between 900 and 1000kbps for a 352 x 240 VCD
movie for better quality see my quality guide if you are
unsure about correct bitrate settings.
Audio
Compression
Now
select the audio settings by going to: Audio
> Full processing mode (so the black dot appears by it).
Then
Audio > Compression.
Up
pops this box below. Choose Mpeg Layer 3 or DivX ;-) Audio
64kbps, 441 kHz, stereo. And press OK.
That's
it! Save AVI...
Here
we go! The picture on the left represents the original AVI
movie and the one on the right represents the DivX version.
For even faster encoding you can set the priority settings
to 'Highest' and turn off the 'Show input' and 'Show output'
video by unchecking the boxes. These can be turned on at
any time to see your progress.
