Shibathedog Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I researched it a bit, i think i like DivX better, i compared some videos i encoded myself. Thing is, i either need them in a format my DVD player can play, and thats pretty much everything BUT Xvid, DivX is the most convienient for me for many reasons.

Agozer Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 DivX and XviD are even in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shibathedog Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 yeah, they where pretty much even, but DivX Encodes faster and had a very slight difference in size, the DivX was smaller buy a few megs. (in a 30 minute video) so im guessing it would be maybe 20 megs smaller in a full length video. But that doesnt even matter to me that much. Id rather have excellent quality video on 2 CDs than poop quality on 1 CD. I suppose i could re-encode all the Xvid files onto DivX, but thats kinda a pain.

Jiggs Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Shiba: You need a DVD player that can handle DivX and XviD movies. Hell, the one I bought two days ago (The Phillips DVP-462 DVD player) runs for $69.99 on Amazon.com (I got it for the same price at CompUSA). However, I had a lot of trouble finding it, as a lot of stores around here mysteriously don't carry Phillips products. Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ronics&n=507846 It plays everything I've put in it so far, including my Family Guy crap. It just treats the eps like they're different chapters on a DVD. For some reason, they don't list it as XviD compatible, but I've tested it out myself.

Jiggs Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Yeah. I'm considering buying another one, because I really had to call around to find a major store that had it. Not even Walmart will carry it. Some ghetto biatch at the local Target got all mean with me on the phone, stating, "We don't carry Phillips, period." There's some kind of conspiracy going on.
