Hi there. I have captured some of my Mini DV tapes from the camcorder to my hard drive using the DV format - 1 hour takes about 11 GB. I have used Windows Movie Maker 2, InterVideo Win DVR 3 etc.

I tried converting these to DivX using Dr. DivX (full version). However, though the file is small for 1 hour of footage (just 504 MB at its default or recommended settings), the motion in the video is not smooth. For example, when there is panning from left to right of the camera, it appears to be a sort of jerky movement. I don't know why. Other than this, the quality of the video seems to be quite good.

Another thing is, I do not know what settings/parameters to use in Dr. DivX to get the best balance between Quality, Size and Speed. For example, 48 KHz stereo sound, 1300 Kbps video rate, 2-pass video, etc.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

Regards,
Venkat

Dr.DivX is generally not the best options. If youy use VirtualDub you can choose what codecs u want to compress the video and audio with and save it. Little but more wor but all around a more reliable method!

I am using adobe premier to save a DV file (just over 3GB) to xvid and other AVI formats and even if I only shrink it down to around 1GB (which is still way larger that I want it) it gets not choppy, but gets tons of artifacts...

Any suggestions other than VirtuaDub?

it could be that it decimated frames, the uncorrect ones. like film is usually 24fps. but to be watch on tv they telecined it too 30fps by adding frame.

people who rips dvd will know this.
as i know DV camcoder is usually in 30 fps. check how it is interlace (if your cam is) and del with the correct method. either telecide or deinterlace.

and yes i use xvid.
