DVD encoding to divx using flask

sutty

Every where i read i see that it says you need 10-12 hours to encode it. i got flask today and a plug-in for it that uses the athlon 3dnow. it says that it will take about 5 hours 40 min. with a 1Gz athlon.....could ppl post how fast it takes them to do? with the following out-put settings:

640x480
PAL @ 25fps
keep aspect ratio: yes
aspect ratio: 4:3
crop: no
Audio mode: Normal audio decoding
sound Freq: 48000Hz

you have "keep aspect ratio" turned on and then proceed to force the aspect ratio anyway?
is that right?

I ripped apollo 13 ages ago, in slightly over 4 hours, with the default output settings, it looked like good enough quality to me, and it took up 1.2 gigs.

Dependent on the bitrate - about 900
should fit on one cd - and thus takes longer.

about 8 hours on a dual 500PIII

i had a bit rate of about 970 and it takes up 1.6 gig, anyone got good settings? that will keep it small?

you can download calculators from http://www.dvdsoft.da.ru.

think its length of movie(secs) x bitrate over 8x1024 and then take audio quality into account and add that..summut like that-
your typical move is about an hour and a half so around 810 should do it to fit on a cd

get avi to bit rate calc, so u can reduce the size of the output video files. iv ripped and converted about 25 movies using my athlon 750mhz. the average was from 4 to 10 hours depending on length of the movie. i did the matrix yesterday again, and it took 6.5 hours and the file size was 400mb and the quality was pretty good, audio and video.

if u want all the tools rapped up in to 1 zip file its available from www.iol.ie/~flamegrill/divx-stuff.zip

its about 10mb and includes all u nead to rip dvds for ur own use of course!

Nice one, I'll get that later.

http://come.to/darippak does the whole shebang - a much smaller(1316k) download than 10MB??, include calc in built in process - very slick.

I got Deuce Bigalo Male Gigalo down to about 550mb but you need to compress the sound as well as the video.
I done the video with flask and the audio with virtualdub.

The link above is a good place to start,they have a downloadable walkthrough somewhere there.
