It
seems it is very easy to convert existing AVI files to DivX
ones, using a freeware program called VirtualDub. You'll of
course still need to download the DivX Codecs.
Start
by downloading and installing VirtualDub.
Once
you have installed both VirtualDub and the DivX Codecs (and
enabled it as well), start VirtualDub, and do the following
:
- File
menu => Open video file - the orginal un-encoded AVI file
-
In the "Video" menu, select "compression", and set it to
the DivX Codec (also try configuring the Codec settings,
such as keyframes and bitrate - have a look on this page
for more information).
-
Still in the Video menu, select the option "Full processing
mode".
-
If your orginal AVI had audio, please find out what frequency
it is (right click on the file and select "properties",
it should be listed in the "Details" section).
-
Still in the Audio menu, select the option "AVI audio"
-
Go to the Audio menu and select "compression", and set it
to MPEG-3 with frequency matching that of your original
AVI file, and also bitrate to at least 96.
-
Still in the Audio menu, select the option "Full processing
mode"
-
Lastly, go to the file menu and select "save extended AVI",
and choose a name for the file (make it different to the
name of the original AVI), and in a few minutes (depending
on the size of your original AVI file), you'll have a perfect
DivX AVI file.
Thats
it :)
