I still confirm my admiration for this free program, which does a very good job of conversion of defective DivX / XviD files to MPEG2 which make many other programs throw in the towel in the
middle of the game.
My comments are, however, only for versions upto 0.3.9. I also got the hang of how to get a stutter free NTSC encode. The time code got all skewed-up but the video plays fine and the audio remains in perfect sync.
I suspect most of the compaints are originating from difficulty in setting up the various parameters. Lack of a guide is sorely felt. I may be writing down my own experience for others to use as a guide ( for only DivX/XviD -->> MPEG2 conversion).
All the 0.5 versions (including the latest) either crash immediately on start of encoding or - the latest version continues to produce extremely blocky MPEG1 (with 1:1 DAR) inspite of all efforts / combinations to produce a DVD compliant MPEG2.
The author, really, should go back to version 0.3.9 and work up from there to get rid of the remaining bugs. |
