You want to make high quality 1cd rips using DivX5.02 Pro.... here are the settings!

Where to begin this? I have loved and used Nandub to make great 1cd rips. I tested and tried DivX5 but was never happy with the quality. I have went through the forums and took notes and have done alot testing, some of this testing was with videocapture to. Needless to say I have used some settings that work to make great videocaptures and used them for this DVD rip I used 700bitrate and 2pass encoding. Here are the settings I used to make a great looking 1cd rip And I mean it when I say great quality! This was a 2hr movie. Gone In 60sec. Bet no one ever expected this from me :p Here are the settings... 700bitrate use quarter pixel use GMC use bidirectional encoding us MV file "General Parameters" Psychovisual Enhancement - Strong Pre processing Source - Light Max keyframe intervals - 300 Scene change threshold - 50% "Advanced Parameters" Max Quant - 12 Minium Quant - 2 RC avg period, frames - 2000 RC reaction period, frames - 10 Rate control down/up reaction - 20 Performance Quality - Slowest Give it try and see how it works for you. You dont like these settings dont use them. Here is the post about my settings for Nandub. The XviD testing will be done today I hope. And I will post in the XviD forum the settings to use to make great quality 1cd rips. Have a nice day! :D

Here is the link to the XviD settings I used to make a high quality 1cd rip using XviD-30062002-1. Take a look and hope people enjoy this. :D Each codec does well IMHO. Just DivX5 and XviD seem to not have the cripness or sharpness as my Nandub rips do. The same goes for video capture... they still look damn good though and with these posts, people can now use whatever they want and make some sweet 1cd rips. Have a nice day! ;)

1) No QPel since you're not going from 704x480 to 352x240 or from 704x576 to 352x288 2) No GMC since it is still buggy. See here: 3) As SirDavidGuy said, Max Quantizer down to 8, since 12 makes more mosquito noise. 4) No Psycho stuff, it makes picture only worse 5) No preprocessing stuff, there is higher quality filters, that if you need filtering anyway And don't follow any posting of yours "You dont like these settings dont use them.", it's ridiculous IMHO.

@ speedamigo You're perfectly right, this is exactly what I thought when I have read his post ;)

Thanks guys. I will try your ideals and add your ideals to the notes.

the thread starter may be right or wrong, but i'm grateful to ho him. the reason is, i (and i'm not the only one) BEGGED for something like this and only got mystic replies (mostly). he tried at least. so instead of (besides of)criticizing, share your own suggested "profile". be good galocza

@galocza Thank you!

Hi galocza- If you want it handed to you on a silver platter, then I might suggest you read Doom9's guide and the DivX.com guide Doom9 links to. If you want to learn for yourself, then go ahead and make mistakes and screw up a few times. That's how most of us have learned. Only then will you really understand how DivX 5.02 works. And the gold in this thread is D J Bobo's post. Although I do a few things slightly differently (lower Max Quants), those are some valuable tips. And for most of us, there is no "profile". The exact settings we use depend on the source.

So using my settings and taking DJ Bobo's advice = very good 1cd rips :D Have a nice day!
