Right off the assembly line
mpeg 4 maker is best for quick conversions. but u got to load a few codecs like divx 6. and use k-lite codecs too.if u have mpeg4 software u can use an codec just through it...u can convert dvd too.

well after listening to so much hype about virtualdubmod, i tried it .
But I cudnt use it because I cudnt understand how to start the process , it is not at all user friendly.
Am I a dumb or is it not for the beginners????

Agreed :roll: Even i am not comfirtable with Virtual Dub... Even that Doom 9 Guides didnt help much.... Someone expert in Video Encoding from Forum shuld post a neat guide....i guess...

Anyways..as for now...AVS Video Converter rocks... would love to try Virtual Dub though

I was searching for an All-in one optimal tool for video conversion.
I thought Cucusoft AVI to MPEG/VCD was the best in the business( Yes, i bought the pro version ) :D

After this thread, i had a search for Virtual Dub in Download.com & here's what i got in the reviews:

Average user ratings: ****( Four Stars )

There were indeed many reviews appreciating the software, but there was some commenting on its demerits, such as:

Scrolling over the buttons did not trigger a hightight of the function

I'm going to try it out, but as all other members say, I will have to get acquainted with its so-called "Difficult Interface".

Savvy!!

S.U.P.E.R is it. It plays all the formats. converts into all the formats and it is free to downlod. and the fools keep on upgrading as well. you will find at: *www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Furher it can convert to any format to any other format. works gr8.

In the zone
Gordian Knot rip pack is good and is free. But it takes a lot of time to encode.
If you want to rip dvd movies to divx look no further but Dr. Divx. and it is open sorce now.

For encoding into other formats, the fastest may be virtualdub with lots of options.
Ulead videostudio is also good with lots of builtin effects. Even windows movie maker can do a decent job.

Premier , after effects etc are professional softwares which needs a high learning curve.

well i could get u started

2 encode a *.mpg file into a *.avi file using a suitable codec, u must open it in VirtualDub mod. 2 do so press ctrl+O which opens up a window from where you can select the path where d *.mpg file is located.

once it has been done and d file is loded in VirtualDub mod yu will have to slect the codec u may want to use for compression. 2 do so press ctrl+p 2 open up the compression codec selection dialog box [btw, to see any signifcant list of compression codecs u must have installed a code pack lke K-ite mega codec Pack whose link i've give @ d end]. from d left dialog box u may select a suitable codec [i've been playing arund wid d x264 codec 4 d past couple of dayz & its been givng me kik azz results]. once u've selcted d codec & highlighting it by clicking on it, u may want 2 configure it. u may do so by clicking on the cofigure button [btw plz note down d restrctions d selected codec may posses. it is listed in a box just above the 'confiure button']. it wll open up a new window where u cn paly around with d codec settings [if u using x264, try encoding it @400 kbps. it will give u VCD quality results].

once u cnfigd d vdeo compression codec, u may want to select a suitable cmpression codec 4 compressing audio. 2 do so click on d "stream" tab in d VirtualDub menu bar and select d Stream list option. it will open up a window dat will will list out all the audio streams present in the *.mpg file. right click on it. select d "full...." option [dun remember d exact wording]. once dis is dun, right click on d audio stream again & dis time u will c dat a "compression" option has now been activated. click on it to open up a window listing out all d audio compression codecs availabe on ur computer. i prefer using d "Lame mp3" option @ 128 kbps CBR stereo 44KHz [people say dat DivX WMA2 Audio @64kbps is equally gud, but me facing some issues right now].
once u dun with dis, u all ready to start encoding it [u may also apply tunz of filter to optimise d file, sumthing 'm still fiddling wd right now]. 2 do so press F7 to open up d dialog bx where u can specfy the loacation where u may want to save it. if u may even batch process multiple files y selecting d option "add to job ctrl" in d same wndow [dun remember d exact wording]. once dis is dun d encodng process will begin.

i've just found out hw do do a "Multipass" encoding
heres d link. although d steps given 4 DivX, d same procedure applies 4 all codecs supprting "Multipass" Encoding
*www4.tpgi.com.au/mtam/covert_guide2b.htm

also if a file u've slected 4 encoding is shown only upto d point where d file starts getting pixelled u may want to select dis option while opening d file in VirtualDub Mod

Use AviSynth template [select d Direct show template]
(note u will get dis option ony in VirtualDub Mod & not VirtualDub [at least it still hasn't been included till their latest version], so i suggest u use VirtualDub Mod and not VirtualDub)

however 4 dis 2 be effective u will have to install d "Avisynth plugin 2.5".
i dun no d link 4 d standalone program, but u can install it along with Gordian Knot [u may uninstall gordian knot after dat, but d Avisynth plugin remains as it has a seperate uninstaller]
i culdn't include screenshots as i'm usng a computer where VirtualDub mod is not installed. however if people had trouble followng dis instruction, imay edit it & include screenshots 4 easy reference

As 4 sum oder operations dat can b performed in VirtualDub u may refer dis link

Its not about time, its about quality...

Cinema Craft Encoder SP is quite fast and is considered to give the best output.

Second best is TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress, but its damn slow...
