Hi,
Total beginner here... sorry for the newbieness.
I have several Real Media files (from here ) in RV 8 format.
I have found a program called "RM Converter v1.40" which converts Real Media to Avi (is there a better one?) and I use Nic's XviD codec to encode the files - everything is on default in the XviD encoder.
I want to encode them in such a way that I will be able to watch them on the LiteOn LVD 2001 player in which I've found XviD to be the best way to watch video on it.
The problem is that during encoding, CPU is 10-15% used (PIV 2Ghz) and the result is very poor. Video is unable to ff or rw (probably Liteon's limit which is shown in RM to DivX 5.0 encoded videos also) and after a few minutes it stalls. Video sometimes 'bleeds', strange colors appear from the sides and remain for a while.
What am I doing wrong here?
Should I tweak the options in the XviD encoder to get better results? I have absolute no idea what those options do or won't do...
Thanks to anyone that can help!
