Hi - Not sure where to post this so here goes...Please point me in the right direction if it's better suited else where. I have some .avi files that were created on a Archos video recorder. GSPOT reports them as divx files.
Divx
25 fps
Qf 0.794
320x320 ( resolution )
1524 kbps
I want to convert these and use trusty DVDLAB to author a new DVD containing a bunch of these movies. I have come up with a conversion process which uses ;
1) AVIsynth to resize the movie to 352 x 288 which I read somewhere is acceptable to alot of stand alone dvd players.
2) CCE to reencode the divx file ( via the avs script ) to MPEG2 ( 2 pass CBR 1.15 Mb/s video / 192kbps 48,000Hz audio )
3) edit out anything I don't like in MPEGVCR
4) import and author in DVDLAB
Quality is not bad and it's not great but then again the source is very small and has a low bit rate. I have kept the mpeg 2 bitrate the same as the divx bitrate.
Questions;
1) Will the target resolution of 352 x 288 give me any problems ?
2) Anyone know of any guides that cover this. I've only spent 2/3 hours on this so someone somewhere must have does it before.
All my googleing only results in guides to covert mpeg to archos ( divx ) format....
3) Is matching the two bitrates ( divx & mpeg ) a wise idea ? I want to try and preserve what quality there is.
