netrex Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I'm slowly switchin to XviDYou should have done that ages ago! The only DivX that's looked good is 3.1.1, but XviD is looking better now, and is miles easier to control. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 I always assumed that you "compress" with "codecs". It says "Compression" on VirtualDub, then you choose a "codec". Whenever I encode a video with DivX it only takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute... Depending on how long the video is. Link to comment
Prokopis Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 (edited) Encoding/decoding is a bit more precise than compression/decompression when talking about video downsizing and compacting I believe. [...]Whenever I encode a video with DivX it only takes about 30 seconds to 1 minute... Depending on how long the video is. ...and what framerate you are converting it to and what resolution its frames are gonna be in and to what its keyframes to normal frames ratio has been set and what kind of extra processes like interpolations calculations will have to run before each frame can be further analyzed if the vid's being resized, plus dozen other things without even going into your PC's other limitations. STILL all that tells me nothing about how good the DivX encoding method really is, especially when I don't know what your source vid's stats were. Edited June 4, 2004 by Guest Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Well if it takes you a few hours to compress with DivX, I've never had it take more than a minute. Maybe you ought to try some new settings with it... Link to comment
Prokopis Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 More than a minute? Lol wtf are you compressing anyway dude? 1 minute clips? I'm talking about movies here... [...]Like 3hrs for a 700meg 90min AVI, when anything about 1hr is just not acceptable (at least on a new PC like mine),[...] Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 The longest I've ever compressed was a 4 mintue video... That took about 45 seconds. Link to comment
