I am new to compression and codecs.
All i know is that it will make thw size of tmy videos smaller.

Please can any one tell me the best and easiest way.

VCD/mpg/DVD ---> DivX

I hope DivX is the mode you all think is the best if not then what is the alternative.

For VCD and MPEG-1 files, you can simply open the files in Virtual/nandub:
1. Open MPG or DAT (VCD) file.
2. Set Video and Audio tabs to Full Processing Mode.
3. Under Video, select Compression and choose the DivX/XviD codec. Configure the settings, as required.
4. Under Audio, select Compression and select a codec (eg. MP3). Choose a desired bitrate (eg. 128kbps).
5. If the source resolution is not divisible by 16, you will need to resize it to conform to the factor-of-16 requirement. Use the Resize filter with Precise Bicubic/Lanczos mode.
6. Go to File -> Save as AVI and give a name to the new file.

If you are working with MPEG-2 files, use VirtualDubMod instead and rename the MPG file to VOB (so that VDMod will recognise and open it).

XviD.

I am using Gordian Knot to convert DVD's into DivX. What it is a front-end for a collection of tools that are involved in the process. Check out the Gknot website at:
