thanx a lot!
Only 2 question:

-11. overwrite avi file?

-what about audio? the same steps to layer3?

I have to change avi file (film700mb) with codec 3.11 to avi file (film about700mb) with codec 4 or 5. May be use GordianKnot?

-11. overwrite avi file?

No.

You can't do that while the original AVI file is still loaded in Virtualdub itself. Create a new AVI file.

-what about audio? the same steps to layer3?

The same audio track will be used in the new AVI file (i.e. no recompression done on the audio).

May be use GordianKnot?

Not for this simple task.

May I ask why you want to recompress the video to another format?

because my dvd-mpeg4 player (technosonic MP-101) does not support avi file with 3.11 codec

sorry, but i still have problems :

- 6. Select 2-pass,first pass
does it mean in 5.0.4 codec 6. multipass,fist pass?

The divx 5.xx codecs should be backwards compatible (able to decode divx 3.11 alpha files).

Before even re-encoding, you may want to simply change the fourcc code of the divx 3.11 alpha file to divx or divx50 and see if your standalone divx player will support it.
