Here's something i have been pondering of late.

Does anyone here have experience of converting AVI DV to DivX? - if so, what program/programs have they used?

...or, is there any form of plug in avaliable for Vegas that allows for projects to be rendered out as Divx


Thanks.

I personally use the superb and invaluable freeware program VirtualDub, which can be downloaded from www.virtualdub.org

It's a bit fiddly, certainly not as user friendly as a lot of viditing programs, but it's immensely powerful, flexible and best of all, free!

(no, i'm not affiliated to them )

If you download the DVI-X codec you can then render directly from Vegas Video to DIV-X encoded AVI files. I found it works really well.

Thanks, ill give that a go.

i'd definitely output to huffyuv or something lossless, then to xvid in vdub, i use vdub for all my avi encoding.
