DivX 6 I believe comes with a util for converting directly to DivX. If you were to use Flask or Xmpeg you would need to convert to AVI, then use fuse or equiv to remux to .DivX with subs, etc. For creating a DivX AVI I would suggest AutoGK instead though.

The best way is to use AviSynth + DGMPGDec + VirtualDubMod giving you DivX and AC3 at very high quality if the codec settings are decent.

Heres some info from another board

You need:
- AviSynth
- DGMPGDec package which contains DGIndex and DGDecode.dll
- VirtualDubMod

Install AviSynth. Extract the DGMPGDec package and copy the DGDecode.dll file into the "plugins" folder of the AviSynth install directory. Start up the DGIndex.exe file in the DGMPGDec package. Go to File > Open and browse to your directory that contains your set of VOB's. Select the VOB files that you want to process and click "open". Then click "OK" in DGIndex's "File List" dialog box. There are guides on how to use this program, useful if you have something other than an NTSC DVD Hollywood type movie, but the basics work for most Hollywood type movies that were shot on film. Go to "Video > Field Operation" and select "Force Film". This will IVTC the stream leaving only the Progressive frames, i.e. it will be back in its 24 (23.976) fps film state that it was in before it was telecined to 30 (29.970) fps NTSC Video/TV. Make sure that "Audio > Output Method" is set to "Demux all tracks" (it is by default). Now go to "File > Save Project" and it will create a D2V file and put the AC3 audio track in the same directory.

Open Notepad.exe. Paste this text into it (adjust to match your own filenames and directories):

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\movie.d2v")

For the "LoadPlugin" part, put in the path to your DGDecode.dll file in the AviSynth install directory. For the "MPEG2Source" part, put in the path to your D2V file that DGIndex just created for you. Then save the file in Notepad as "All Files" in the "file types" drop down box and for the file name, name it whatever you want with an "avs" extension, such as movie.avs. Keep this file for future projects and you won't have to make it again, but rather just tweak it.

That's really all there is to it. You then just open your AVS file in VDubMod, add the AC3 track and proceed as normal from there. Leave the original VOB's where they were at when you started, until you are finished. Something I learned recently from a moderator here is that if you add crop and resize commands in the AVS script (and/or whatever other filters you want to use), it will save a lot of time over using VdubMod's filters, because you can then use the "fast recompress" option in VDubMod.

Once you have done it once it is very easy to do again, and gives better results and doesn't take as long as joining multiple 1 GB sized VOB's. With joining VOB's into a single VOB file, not only does it take about 15 minutes just to join a typical DVD VOB set into one VOB file, but you will have to use full processing mode in VDubMod if you want to use any filters for cropping or resizing or whatever; which pretty much doubles the encoding time.

I dont like Gordianknot.
