Help with encoding in DivX using VirtuaDub...
 

I am using VDub to try and encode using DivX compression, but it is not giving me that option. I have the DivX codec installed, I know this because I am able to watch movies encoded in DivX.

Any ideas on how I could get VDub to recognize the DivX codec? Thanks.

VDub must be installed after the divx codec. if it was installed first, remove and reinstall it.

Unless you have DivX pro, I don't think you can encode.

i encode divx with my tuner card, although it is under xvid properties

I think you're right about this. Does anyone know where I can DL a free version of DivX Pro (minus the spyware)? DivX.com only offers either the stand-alone codec or DivX Pro: Gain Bundle, which is infested with spyware.

see if there is a config like that somewhere in virtualdub.

Downloading a free version of DivX Pro without the Gain bundle is illegal - that's why it's not offered on the DivX site. So, no, can't tell ya where to get one, but if you think about it I'm sure you could figure it out.

Asking for Divx Pro without adware is asking for wares, so Im afraid we cant help you, however you can DL a trial copy of DR Divx from divx.com, and that is free for 30 days, and has no evil-ware.

Hope that helps.

I am using Xvid as well.

Dude- Is that your normal capture settings? If so do you go back and edit out commercials etc and what program do you do that with. I am currently capping in mpeg2 then using virtualdub to edit and save them as avi with xvid encoding. If I can eliminate the step of the large mpeg2 files that would be great.
