I have over a 1000 DIVX rips of dvd movies I own. I use them on my laptop when I travel. I recently played with fair use wizard 2.8 converting DVD ISOS to h264 instead of Divx. I acheived 40 smaller file size than with Divx at the same resolutions. However when I tried rencoding from Divx files to H 264 the size stayed the same or got bigger. I used Super and Jesterware video converter pro. Divx codec is 6.84 I don't want to have to rip the ISOs from all my DVDs again.( I sometime have had issues with DVDS ISO never give a problem)Is this even possible?
Nothing will be gained by converting your already quality compromised Divx files to H264. As is always the case another encode will lower quality again.
try using the free avidemux to convert your divx. 1.open the divx file. 2.in the video section instead of copy choose mpeg4 avc(h264), next press the configure box and choose 2 pass encode/video size and enter the size you want the final file to be. 3.in the audio section choose mp3(lame) 4.make sure the format is avi on the bottom. When I convert a divx file thats about 85mb into a h264 and choose the file to be 50mb, the finish file is 58mb but the quality is as good as the original. http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/screenshots.html
