Hey All, I am new to DVD ripping and need some of your help. When I am ripping from dvd to divx using xmpeg the file is coming out to 30 Gigs?

As I say I am new to this, but I will soon be an expert since I am in Iraq and have plenty of time to learn. I really would like to follow one fool proof way though!


Greetings from Iraq

Yes! I've had the same problem using divx 5.11 codec. I have tried xmpeg and flaskmpeg and they both do it! It appears no matter what bitrate you set the video to encode at, the program sets it a ridiculously high bitrate turning out a massive file. I'm assuming you are using the divx 5.11 codec, and a way around it is using another codec such xvid or microsoft mpg4 versions 1, 2 or 3. If you haven't installed these go to http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/48608
which will tell you how to install all codecs needed to play or encode your video files.

If it is a bug, hopefully will divx fix it soon.
Hope this helps a bit.

What bitrate did you use? Im not fan of DivX myself but whenever I use it i dont ever get 30 gigs :-) As a guideline you will rarely ever have the need to do more than 1500kb/s for video.

ASUS A8V Deluxe, A64-3500 @ 2.65
1GB KingMax PC3700
640GB [4x160GB, 7200, 8MB]
XFX 6800GT 256MB
