BeerBurp

Why is the audio not 5.1?
the three LOTR + 5.1 should easily fit on one DVDr as XviD

Eh? At what resolution? 300x200? Don't be silly.

Erh, he's actually right. Three high quality DivX or XviD files will easilly fit on a 4.7Gb hdd as the files would only be like 700Mbs each. n00b.

Define high quality then? DVD resolution? >1Kb/s xvid? 5.1 ac3 sound? Not a chance of fitting a 3 hour movie into 700Mb.

Depends on your definition of "high quality" I suppose...

Ok maybe not 700Mbs but you're certainly fit all of the 3 movies onto one DVD. Ohh and nice one on the bitch comment by the way.... congrats on handling a disagreement in a mature and intelligent fashion.

You'll fit two of the LOTR movies (actual high quality video and sound) in my experience on a single DVD-R. You can lower the resolution and video or sound quality to fit all three on, but I find the lower quality unacceptable when viewing.

My oh my. You can call me names (n00b), but you can't take it when I call you one eh?

a movie thats 1 hr 50 mins make to a 1 cd size anything longer to a 2 cd thats ur quality issue sorted...for all those wasting their movie on philips dvx player i say stop.Buy the yamada 6700 divx player.You can get firmwate updates from their site for the opal codec and it also plays the svcd quality movies unlike the philips

kasintahan

4.5GB (usable DVD+/-R) / 3 = 1.5GB per Film

ANYBODY could get a full res (712 lines) 2/3 hour film as a DivX into that kind of space with 5.1 if needed.

The quality would approach DVD if done correctly.

MrVestek

Case and point. Score: Achilles 1... the rest of ya, 0!

I must be pickier than ANYBODY then. For most films you are correct. For the LOTR disks, I wasn't happy with the quality at 2 CDs each. Maybe I'm not such a l33t encoder as the rest of you. Or maybe my eyes are fussier.

You wouldn't mind showing us your Gordian Knot (or whatever toolset you use) logs then from any of the LOTR movies encoded to 1.5 Gb, and a few screenshots to indicate the quality?

I'd tend towards the former. Try Gordian Knot - even the auto version is pretty good.

Where can you get the yamada from?

This article compares divx, xvid and nero digital.

I like Nero Recode, it's extremely easy to use for the casual encoder like myself and nero digital plays fine in xbox media centre.

BeerBurp

You can buy the yamada at www.pixmania.com or most mafor sites.Rem google is your friend.P.S yamad with firmware update also plays subs is u happen to have and foreign movies with a .sub or srt sub text file

pickarooney

To resolve all quality issues due to imperfect encoding, I just sit further back from the TV .

Erm, I have the Philips 630 DivX player, they have firmware on their site also that allows you play other codecs as they release them, and will update the firmware for newer versions of DivX etc. Philips are a good quality build. Go google reviews for the Yamada... lots of hardware problems, failing after a few weeks etc.

Mr E

Just installed AutoGK, and MS Anti Spyware complained about one of the parts attempting to install something called AdHelper (which I blocked).

Just FYI...

Mutant_Fruit

Well, AutoGKnot doesn't contain spyware... so unless you downloaded an altered installer, i can't imagine you getting spyware with it. The software is open source, any attempt to add spyware on the sly would be noticed very quickly.

Mr E

Downloaded it from the AutoGK download page....

len0x added spyware a few months ago because he wasnt getting enough donations. Go read the doom9 forums - a lot of unhappy people complaining about it.

Wow, how did i miss that! I don't remember ever hearing a word about that, even on the doom9 newspage. I take back my previous statement

Totally OT:

The spyware can be removed through add-remove, but you have to install it to install GK
