What does Virtualdub do?

[LongJohn210]

i have the program to help me convert my xvid movie to a divx. for my mp4 player. but i'm a newbie i have absolutley no clue what i'm doing. can someone give me some detailed instructions? and what is a dub do?

[SKD_Tech]

First I recommend downloading the Tsuanmi 3.9.9 Codec/filter pack from UncasMS's web site or just do a google search

To change Xvid to DivX and vice versa with VirtualDub do this

Open up VirtualDub
Open up the file from the "file" drop down list
Click on Audio at the top - Then click Direct Stream Copy
Click on Video at the top and choose "Full Processing Mode"
Click on Video again and click Compression
Choose the Codec you want
The from the "file" drop down list click Save as AVI

Hope this works for ya

do i choose the codec i want to convert it to?

and how long do u think this'll take?

[SKD_Tech]

Yes you get to choose any video codec that you have installed on your computer...

As for the time it takes, it varies on how long you video is. I would suggest if it is like a movie about 700MB I would start it up at about 10 then let her run all night and that will be PLENTY time

ya i think it worked. i unistalled the xvid codec to make sure that it played divx and it worked but the quality isn't as good but o well. thanks!

That's why we wanted to know why you converted them to DivX

Just convert all of your movies first before uninstalling XVid. If not you will get blank movie result (Virtual Dub can't decode your source movie).

there 2 different divx codecs to choose from

Divx MPEG-4 3917 Fast
Divx MPEG-4 3917 Low

which is the right one?

[divxdude]

use DivX 5.0.2, its better quality than Divx 3.11
