A bit more costly than VirtualDub, but looks like a nice app. Thanks for the info.

I just tried this, it encoded slowly and when I finally got my divx movie, rather than use the divx codec it installed. I now have a video in xVid format.
useless for divx. woo!

Hmmm.. that doesn't sound cool. I don't like dealing with the xVid codec. I'll just stick with VD.

Umm... Dr. Divx doesn't work with Xvid. It's made by Divx Networks for Divx 5.0.x encoding. Xvid is a competing codec to Divx. It doesnt do EVERYTHING Virtual Dub does, as Vdub is a general purpose encoder and can repair/rebuild and do all sorts of other neat things. But Dr. Divx is much better for just converting between formats (ie DVD to Divx)... Very very easy to use. You are supposed to install and use the Divx codec it comes packaged with, otherwise it might not work right. Virtual Dub is free, Dr. Divx is not as they are licensing various codecs/filters.

You should read up on it more at http://www.divx.com before leaping to conclusions as to its purpose and features, as well as how to use it. It is NOT meant to replace Virtual Dub, but rather compete with other easy encoders like XMPEG and Vidomi, but its faster and produces better output than those. It also includes the full Divx 5.0.x Pro codec ($20 alone) in the package. But once again, it costs money while others are free... it is a good program regardless, but I probably wont buy it unless they implement enough new features in later versions.

Seems pretty good so far as a conversion tool. It even managed to encode the old 1.5GB Bakshi LOTR video I've had taking up space on my second drive for YEARS and kept the audio in perfect sync. I have spent literally years off and on trying to get that converted with all the known methods of trying to keep the audio in sync, and this worked fine first time.

Have not yet tried encoding it down to something playable by DCDivx though.

I want to try to see how well the direct capture works. The only application that seems to be able to capture straight to DivX on my machine without dropping too many frames in fullscreen doesn't allow for an external audio codec, which makes the DivX files sometimes even larger than MPEG-2...

Hopefully this should be able to do it much better.

Fourteen days remain...

Another easy converter (DVD-DivX) is EasyDivx. Takes it straight from the DVD and gives you a DivX file

Really? ARGH

Dr. Divx is very good (read my above post for more info), but if you're looking for something free that and easy (with help from a ripper like DVD decrypter), I've heard Neodivx is good. Have not actually used it myself. Vidomi is very easy too, probably the easiest of all, but does not produce good results with newer Divx codecs. It hasn't been touched in a while either AFAIK. XMPEG has the potential to get really good, right now its buggy as heck.

someoneElse: I've heard the Direct capture with Dr Divx is good, but needs some work. You can give it a shot, certainly.
