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 a try

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