BW well i have a dvd burner ad lot's of dvd's but with divx\xvid you have more space.the final avi is only 650-900 max and it has a really good quality so in 1 dvd you can fit 5 movies.

Besides, I want to have all my movies either on my xbox's HDD to watch. Plain dvd format would be too large.

that's why i wanted an xbox :D
so i got 100 princoz for 45 Euros and finally won't use them for dvd's(as i wanted)but will use them when i get a dsl connection in about 2 months :D

i like backin em up
its easier than watchin dvds
and withi my xbox
im good
so dvdx 2.2 is better?

Well, I juse used it. Took a little longer, about 9 hours or so to finish the 2 hour movie. My end result you ask? 149mega bytes of compressed audio. That's right, I must have messed up somewhere, because it only did audio. 9 hours for that? Goddamn that sucks.

I think I will do 1 pass mode, it will be alot quicker.

I vote for xvid. Bether sound and image quality. However, divx is smaller. and now free from Spywares. (version 5.2).
To bad there is not any xvid dvd player in sweden. Only dvdplayers that supporting divx. :(

so whats the vote
u cant use the latest xvid in vidomi
and dvdx apparently only does audio 8(
so..
now what?

quall what have you done an?i ttakes about 2 hours for a 1:30min dvd.what's your output settings?

hmm, i dunno. it's 2 pass, so it takes a little longer. 720x480 resolution, 192kbits audio stream, quality set to 1 instead of the default 4. Those are all the settings I have that I think would matter. Target size is way up there, so that shouldn't be a problem. I only found and read one tutorial on the settings I have to worry about, and what they suggest to put them at, so maybe I missed something.

i tried dvdx
with the xvid
the video was this like screen of black an white
like a constant picture that looked like nothin basically
so..
vidomi it is i guess..?
