How to convert your DivX/AVI to DVD±R ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DivX/AVI's that have been made properly are of superb quality. They can be 1 or 2x 716 mb long, encoded with DivX or Xvid codec with 5 channel AC3 sound or stereo MP3 and all backed up from a DVD. While these have been traditionally converted by many to VCD or SVCD with great results, but always with a drop in picture quality, I thought why not convert back to DVD, retain the DivX picture quality (but still a drop from the original DVD) and now only on 1 disk.
Unfortunately there are many problems found with badly made DivX files. Headers missing or corrupt, bad frames, faulty audio, etc, etc. The list is almost endless. These problems need to be fixed first before proceeding as CCE will surely crash or the audio will not be extracted (nor converted) correctly. GSPOT, VirtualDUB, DivFix and DivXRepair are essential tools to help here.
This Tutorial makes a multi-region, auto starting movie (no menu or extras) with 1 audio track and no subtitles (subtitles can be included however, read below). It works for me and produces some excellent quality DVDR's. There may be a better or simpler way, I just haven't found it yet.
This procedure uses DVD2SVCD as the work engine and it basically does all the thinking for you (I like it!). Those making (S)VCD's with DVD2SVCD will feel right at home here. CCE is used as the encoder for both speed and quality reasons, though you can use TMPGenc or the freeware QuEnc encoder. I have suggested TMPGEnc DVD Author as the authoring tool as that is simple to use, flexible and priced right. However, other good authoring tools such as DVDLab or Maestro can also be used. 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 DVDLab Pro for this or permanently include then during the DVD2SVCD process. My other DVD to DVD±R Tutorial describes how to use Maestro for authoring. DVDLab is a "Maestro look alike" and if you can use one, then you should be able to use the other with little problems.
The latest DVD2SVCD can now automatically author your files for you using freeware DVDAuthor or the expensive Sonic Scenarist 2.6 r 2.7. However, this is not perfect with Scenarist and many problems for PAL conversions. So I would suggect you stay with DVDAuthor or your favourite authoring tool.
There can be problems with some DVD Players playing DVD-R or DVD R discs, even different brands of media. So if it does fail, check the disk in a friends player to see if it works there. Try burning to a different brand of DVDR also if problems persist or try burning at lower speed. I can't fix those problem.
