Maybe the temp goes too high & system shutdown. What type of processor you have ? With my P4 system, temp goes from 45�C (idle) to 62�C during conversion AVI to DVD (using AVI2DVD program) , but so far didn't experience any system shutdown. What program do you use for conversion ?

WinAVI and MainConcept MPEG Encoder, depending on what file I want

It shows your computer is unstable
Get a better cooler first, did you overclock your processor?

If system shutdown it can be due to heat from the processor itself or the mofsets in the motherboard

For me, "transcoding XviD to DivX" is like "transcoding LAME MP3 to Fraunhofer MP3". XviD and DivX are the same format, that is MPEG-4 ASP. Only the encoder is different. Just as one MP3 decoder can decode both LAME and Fraunhofer encoded bitstream, XviD decoder can decode DivX as well, and vice versa.

Most XviD and DivX encoding are stored in a manner called VfW. There is this thing called FourCC that you can change just like that. For example, you can just change XVID to DX50. Changing FourCC might be useful for some standalone player that recognize DX50 but not XVID. You just change it and it works magically without reencoding.

However there are minor issues of compatibility between DivX and XviD, and this rarely happens. The problem is MPEG-4 ASP specifies the tools QPel and GMC. Quite some number of standalone players don't implement these - the decoders are not MPEG-4 ASP compliant. XviD does use QPel and GMC but can be disabled. DivX too uses it, also can be disabled, and the GMC is a simpler version than the standard. So DivX player might support the simple GMC but fail to decode XviD standard GMC. Nevertheless, GMC is usually disabled in XviD, so changing fourCC almost always work.

No I didn't overclock my processor, at least, not that I know of. Is there a way to tell if the computer has been overclocked? The fan has been really loud ever since I bought it. The shop changed the casing 3 times and its still as loud

Hey there, I converted an avi file using Movie Factory I think or something like that. I can't remember the name. Anyway it was successful BUT when I played it on my DVD player, there was a substantial lag to it. Anyway that I can fix this? Or do you guys know what's wrong? THe audio is about 1 or 2 seconds behind the video and I don't know what's wrong. Just thought it was a simple process using that progrom.

I would also like to know which file format should I convert avi files to if I want to compress them small enough to fit on my pda which has 512mb sd card memory. Thanks!

any converter w3g to avi / rm / wmv ????
wacraft replay

i got one Q bout autogk
izzit i can only convert the file one by one?
cause inside the dvd got around 4 file as big as 0.99GB
but one time i can only convert one file....
so izzit in the end i will have 4 different files????

cant i convert dvd normally like we can find in the net?
those file size only around 700mb

how to do tat??

Create a batch conversion: Add to job list, go back until all added into the list. Then, start the job.

plz help me.. i have avi format movies downloaded in my harddisk and i wish to burn it in Nero using DVD tools. But it can't read the format of AVi due to MPEG 4 conversion something like that.. I have to buy that extra features for that.

What am i suppose to do first actually?

thanks

just use winavi top convert first.

okok...ic...hmmm one last question....how i differentiate btw those files?
how i know that this is the file i need to convert
well u know....under the same folder got at least 10 files....
how am i suppose to know that excatly thats the few files i wanna convert....

o yah...under batch conversion rite...after it convert,the output will be only 1 file?

want to ask something...what's h264 ? i read the wiki but it's just a new format.
So for xivd and h264 which one quality is better ? difference ?

H.264 is newest video compression from the MPEG family. In the discussion below, "good compression" means relatively good quality at low bitrate.

From oldest to newest,
MPEG-1 used in VCD. A DCT based compression, with motion vectors.
MPEG-2 used in DVD and digital transmission, compression part very similar to MPEG-1.
MPEG-4 Part 2, we usually only look at ASP (advanced simple profile). 3ivx, DivX, XviD are all MPEG-4 Part 2 encoders and decoders. Compression is better than MPEG-2.
MPEG-4 Part 10, also called AVC or H.264. Even better compression than MPEG-4 Part 2. x264 is an encoder for this format. It is under GPL (license) and produces very good compression, surpassing quite a number of commercial implementation (according to some review).

To summarize, if you use x264 to encode your own videos, you can gain a lot of disk space. Using AAC audio codec, a 5 minute video (VCD quality according to my eyes and monitor) can be easily compressed below 8 megabyte. Compare to real VCD MPEG-1 constant bitrate compression, 52MB.

h264 = MPEG-4 AVC (advance video coding) = superior than MPEG-4 ASPs

Able to produce quality picture at lower filesizes than Xvid/DivX/WMV9/RV10

For example : 175MB H264 is equalavent to 233MB of Xvid

Downside is it eats more CPU resources when decoding and takes quite a long time to encode it compared to Xvid

What should I do to burn these file formats into VCD?

WMA
FLV
SWF (pure video, no clickable object)
MPEG
GVI

Convert it to VCD format (MPEG) or avi

Can you show be some software that can do that for me?

SUPER Converter...

izzit possible to burn AUDIO format into DVD-R and use it for playback? i know its a waste but i just wondering =/
