Has anyone tried this out?

"Dr. DivX now makes the act of creating DivX video as easy as the act of watching it. Dr. DivX lets you create DivX video from any source right on your computer in just three easy steps. So now you can take that great video of yours and instantly post it online, burn it to a CD or email it to all your friends."


I don't know how long this has been out, I was just cruizin' thru their site when I noticed it. Would be nice If its as good, and simple, as they make it out to be.

I personally have tried it and it kinda sucks if you have a movie running at 29 fps because I couldn't figure out how to edit the settings for that. It is much faster than the methods used now, burning Scarface took 3 hours on that versus 10 hours with Virtual Dub, picture quality was about the same.

I tried Dr.Divx, and I personally got some problems making it work.

But IF it did work. I would recommend it, it has a wonderfully easy interface and dumbass PROOF.

Can't go wrong....now if it'll just work!

Ive been trying out the new DVDX 2.2 and I really like it. They fixed the aspect ratio problems which was a pain in the ass in the past. This is the best thing since the chicken whopper

I tried Dr DivX 1.0and it's a mixed bag(I notice there is now version 1.01). It did a great job of encoding the video but the sound was poor, because they use a crappy mp3 encoder at a low (128) bitrate and there is no option to change the bitrate or the encoder used. With a good encoder such as besweet this would be an incredible tool. I used it to make a copy of Black Hawk Down, the PAL version for UK which I had tried to do the long way with GordianKnot and the easy way with different apps. Dr DivX was the only way I ever got the picture looking puuuurrrfect....shame about the sound.
Anyhow this was a month ago and when I looked at their forums they were actually listening to users feedback and developing the tool so good for them, it may be the sound has improved along with a few other things people didn't like (I liked everything except the sound, didn't find any bugs but only made a few DivX with it).
I found that setting up a movie to encode was extremely easy with all the options available if you really want them but automation is fine with me if it is intelligently implemented.
I'm going to have another look at it and try version 1.01 because if the audio is fixed this is the perfect way to get your movies onto DivX (and anyone else's movies too).
