DVD to Divx

[ormonde]

Latley I've been converting some DVDs to divx. I use DVD2AVI for decoding, and frameserving the .d2v file to Gordian Knot v. 0.28.7–really like that program. I have been using the standard dvix 3.11 codec and have been able to get a 6.5 gig DVD down to 1.5 gig with acceptable quality. On every one I've done so far, the audio has not been present at the end of the conversion process. What I have been doing is using NanDub to interleave the audio back into my "silent" AVI files–even though I went through properly setting up the audio in Gordian Knot. I have been converting the .Ac3 files into Mp3 using "HeadAc3he" prior to generating the AVIs. Any thoughts?

make sure to select *just mux* or whatever it may be called nowadays - havent use gk for ages as i consider DVX the better choice

"make sure to select *just mux* or whatever it may be called nowadays"

Actually, I did do "Just Mux" on the last one I did, but it still came up as a "Silent" AVI. I checked it in "File Information" in VirtualDubMod, and nothing appeared in the audio section.

hmmm

check some guides on that newer version you're using, try autogk instead or give DVX (http://www.planetdvb.net/dvx/) a try

Thanks for that link UncasMS. I will try and give DVX a shot.
