Hi, this is my first thread started here at mac forums and haven't had a whole lot of experience with this site, I must say though that most everybody is friendly and helpful and that's something that I appreciate in a forum. I'm new to video encoding and need some advice. I have a couple of movies that I would like to encode to Divx format to keep on my Mac's HD for a trip that I am taking so that I don't have to carry the movies with me. I use MTR to rip the Video-TS files and am using D-Vision 3.2 to encode the files. D-Vision gives me a few options when it comes to the bitrate, I can choose a file size limit and D-vision will adjust the bitrate to keep the movie under that specific size or I have the option to choose the maximum bitrate and D-vision will encode up to but not exceed the bitrate that was specified. Size isn't really an issue since i just upgraded to a 640 GB HD, what I'm looking to do is to encode these movies in Divx format (or any other format compatible with my mac) to create the nearest to DVD quality that I can. Here are a couple of pics of some of the options for video and audio encoding. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
