DVD -> DivX Conversion Using GraphEdit

[5k0rp10n]

Hi all.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to encode DVD .VOB files to DivX using GraphEdit. I've been attempting it myself, but none of my MPEG-2 video decoders want to get along with the DivX Pro encoder ("...filters can't agree on a connection..."). I've tried using the Cyberlink Video Decoder, Intervideo Video Decoder, and Ligos MPEG-2 Decoder.

Any help would be appreciated.

why would one go this way when excellent tools for the very same job exist?

I've never tried using Graphedit for DVD -> AVI conversion (though I've seen a Guide by Nicky on it). As UncasMS put it, there are better tools for this job out there. I use vFAPI + nandub (I need vFAPI to open .tpr files, so no GK for me), and UncasMS would recommend GordianKnot + DivX 5.

Take your pick.

The reason I would like to use Graphedit for this type of conversion is because:
- I'm sick of FlaskMPEG crashing whenever I try to use the LAME ACM codec or Radium MP3 codec (among other things...)
- VirtualDub freezes up whenever I try to use AVIsynth
- NanDub only encodes using DivX 3
- the copy of GordianKnot on Doom9.org is corrupted
- I don't know how to use VFAPI
- I like GraphEdit

the copy of GordianKnot on Doom9.org is corrupted

what EXACTLY is wrong with it?

you could find the same pack on my site and the version is free of errors (as is doom9s)

Every time I download a copy, all my extraction programs claim the archive is corrupted.

i have only experienced this when winrar 3 was used for 'zipping' and the 'unzipper' was NOT winrar3!
