That's good and all, but normally when i try to burn with a different sampleing rate it make the audio faster or shorter.

Well, nice try ZacMc, but I don't think you made 404's expectations...

Good work duckman!

Well, with DC-DivX you have to use a lower audio bitrate. It shouldn't have any effect on speed of the audio

.

Good work duckman!

Thanks

I updated my site with a Dc-DivX burning page and a Dc-DivX burning kit.

You could try running the video (that crashed at 99%) through divfix, it might "fix" it. I don't know why virtualdub gives an error at 99%

You could try uninstalling/reinstalling divx or a different version of virtualdub but im not sure if it will help.

Thank you so much ZacMc!! I tried a few other tutorials, and couldn't quite get them to work, but yours worked just fine! DCDivX is awesome!! Thanks again!

Mr._Chips · Post by **Mr._Chips** » Wed Apr 10, 2002 10:56 am

yeah, the dcdivx tutorial is great. zac, thanks a lot. We were soldiers runs great but for live action films I would suggest a bitrate of 550 or 600 rather than 500. This is great stuff!

There is so much info on different settings for coversion to divx playable on DC- can anybody share there experience on how good quality of playback with DCDivx they see on DC? All my attempts lead to creation of files which were either - jerky (from decimation of framerate), or blocky (from 1 pass encoding), or had artefacts when there is a fast change in the scene (bitrate, size of the screen?). I did not try encoding higher than 320:240 - since I was watching it on normal TV, and had audion on 40kbits. I just wodner if what I described - is what everybody esle seeing, and through setting you can get a normal playback. When people say watchable, tolerable - this is very subjective and really no information. So can anybody share about their experience with DcDivx playback?

It depends a lot on the original source... I have a couple movies that look like absolute crap... while others look pretty damn good... but no matter how good, I can always tell I'm watching a low-res video. You're not gonna confuse it with a DVD. There's occasional blockiness, especially in dark solid color areas, and some fuzziness on small high contrast objects... but as long as I keep the frame rate and screen size low, I don't get any problems with jerky playback.

The best Dc-DivX videos that I've encoded are comparable to *VCD quality*

alyosha · Post by **alyosha** » Thu Apr 18, 2002 6:27 pm

So it looks like for those who have DVD players with VCD playback it is actually simpler to convert downloaded divx files into VCD's than take a long shot in converting them to dcdivx format. Would that be consensus?

well.... I guess... if you want to be using your stuff on more than one system: the *BIG* advantage to DCDivX is simply the size of the compresed file... you can easily get at least 3 hours of pretty high quality video on one CD... that is a *big* plus

And you can show your friends/family and say "look its mpeg-4 compression on the DC!, not Mpeg-1"

I'm sure they will be very impressed

i was wondering if anyone can help me out with this oh so very annoying problem... i've been trying to encode a movie to play on dcdivx using virtual dub. as i've said before i've accomplished this act.. lol but this movie and a few others are aggravating the hell out of me. Certain frames in virtual dub just don't work, i get an error like this one i.e "Error Decompressing Video frame 60620: An unknown error has occured (may be corrupt data). i've even tried to use divxfix on these movies and i still continue to get the error. i've tried other programs to convert them into mpeg's first and still that error. is there anything anyone can suggest? thank you in advance for any information.

You could try AviDefreezer.
It's on Doom9, in the downloads, under AVI Editing tools
