The MKV's are handled by the same tute. As for OGM's or MP4's, well maybe one day when I actually see or get one of these then I might be able to include the instructions (if they differ) on how to handle them. But since 99.9% of the DivX's available are either DivX 3.11 or 5.x or Xvid then I really dont have a problem. If any of the members raise any issues about these odd formats then I'm sure you will be able to help them out anyway. :D :)

As I said in the Tute "TMPGEnc DVD Author does NOT support any Subtitles at this point of time, so if your intending to import Subtitles, then you will have to use Maestro for this or permanently include then during the DVD2SVCD process. My other DVD to DVD±R Tutorial describes how to use Maestro for authoring."

Also have a read of Step3 point 6 & 14

When veiwing the tutorial, for some reason I only get a white square with a red X on it where I think screen shots are supposed to be. This is below steps 10 and 11 for Step 3: DVDR Conversion. All others look fine.

It would be cool if the tutes were avaiable as downloads/attachments. Much easier to print them for use. Usually I try to copy and paste them into word. While highlighting this one I noticed the "missing" pictures.

I've done a number of OGM to DVD transfers. They are exactly the same to do, but you have to complete a step before starting Chickenman's tute. First, you need to use GraphEdit and remux them into an AVI. To do this:

1) Start GraphEdit

2) Select File : Render Media File

3) Select your movie file

4) Delete everything in the video stream after the OGM splitter box

5) Delete everything in the audio stream after the OGG decoder

6) Push the toolbar button with the blue square. Browse to Dircetshow Filters : AVI Mux. Add it. Browse to Directshow Filters : File Writer. Select it and supply an AVI filename.

7) Take the output from the OGM Splitter node 1, and connect it to the AVI Mux node 1. Take the output from the OGG decoder and connect it to the AVI Mux node 2. Connect the AVI Mux output to the Filewriter. Press the green play button. Wait til it goes grey (it takes a while).

8) Close GraphEdit.

9) Open VirtualDub. Open the AVI you just made. Select File : Save WAV. Supply a name. Wait. This will save off the audio, but it will be in a funky format. You need to fix it.

10) Open GoldWave. Select the WAV you just made. Select File : Save As. Supply a name, and use WAV, 16 bit signed as the type. Press OK. Wait. Close GoldWave.

11) At this point, you've got a good vid file in the AVI. You've got a good audio in the file you just made in GoldWave. You can either use separate files from here, or you can re-mux them and then just use ChickenMan's tute as is.

Questions? Just ask!

I know how to convert OGM's, I would think that I was posting screenshots of how to do that with graphedit before you even knew what OGM was (I did kinda helped beta test it).

I was just making a point that AVI is not DivX and DivX is not AVI despite the fact that AVI's are often DivX and DivX is often AVI.

Small note, if you set the vorbis decoder to 16bit you should be able to avoid using VirtualDub and GoldWave.

Sorry, my mistake, a simple typo in the image file name. Fixed.

As for printing, just hit the Print button from your browser. Is there a problem with that ?

The first bit I have no problems with as DivX is just one of many compression and non-compression codec used to make an AVI file. The other bit "DivX is not AVI" is all new to me as I have NEVER seen nor heard of the DivX codec being used for anything other than an AVI. So your saying a DivX encoded movie can be in another form other than AVI ? If so can you point me to a site(s) that can explain this?

Thanks.

I certainly meant no disrespect, I was only trying to help with what I thought was a question.

@ChickenMan, like I said, OGM, MKV and MP4.

DivX can be used as a video codec in all of the above container formats. Although I am not sure about DivX3 in MP4.. I guess it is possible but it would be against the standards.

Currently I would agree that most of the time DivX would be used in AVI's and AVI's are almost always DivX or XviD.

However due to the fact that AVI is a crappy outdated container format, I would think that in the future it will be far less common.

@aybesea, maybe I was a little harsh, I just found your post to be a little patronising.

Hi Chickenman
I was wondering whether you could update your tutorial again? I am new to all this and was pleased when I found your tutorial. However after following it, I have found that a lot of the software the guide is based around has been updated since the guide was last updated and as such some of the things you say to do cannot be done in the new versions. For example when using DVD2SVCD (guide screenshots and references are from 1.1.3/latest version 1.2.1 build 3) (step 11), it says on the Bitrate tab to uncheck the Warn if the total bitrate is too high... however there is no option to do this in the latet version of DVD2SVCD.
When I have followed the tutorial to the best of my ability and produced .MPV files, when I have loaded them into TMPGEnc and try to convert them I get 2 warnings: one says that the total bitrate is 9992Kbps and the max is 9800Kbps and the other says the file is too large for a 4.7gb disk. Do you know what I may be doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Actually I have been waiting for the author or DVD2SVCD to update his program so that it produces an audio AC3 file rather than a MP2 file. I thought it would have been done buy now but looks like I have to do the upgrade in 2 steps.

Ignore the error from TMPGenc DVD Author that complains of a bitrate being to high or in DVD2SVCD/Encoder/Advanced just untick the DVD Compliant box.

As for the file being to big, suggest you check your settings in the Bitrate Tab and the Audio tab of DVD2SVCD.
