Avi to divX

[stumpe]

Need a bit of advice on what program I can use (free if possible) to convert avi to divX so I can load onto a USB memory stick to play on my new 40 LCD tv (my Xmas prezzie to myself:) ), tried a few free progs last night but none seem to work as it only took a few mins to convert but the tv still couldn't reconkze the file format.

Strange thing is the manual says it can handle avi / mkv files but not supported when an avi file is loaded, trys to play though, video codec says divX , xvid, mpeg4.

Any help would be appreciated as file conversions is not my strong point :)

divx is avi ;) .. its the video format that is divx,xvid and a host of others used ...most " good " programs are not free ... There is one call " gordian knot " not sure if thats how its spelt and as am aware its free .. but it aint easy to use ....

You got a ps3 by any chance?

If so get a program called ps3 media server onto your comp.

That then allows you to stream movies from you comp to your ps3 therefore on your new tv :)

If not I can't help, sorry :)


Fancy coming up th field on Sunday Lee?

mcebuddy is another very good one that is free.


it will allow conversion to divx, wmv, x264 etc. it is a service that runs in the background and monitors a folder. When new files are placed in the folder it will automatically convert them

I use it to shrink the filesize of transport stream files that are recorded from ntl using media portal and the avi files i get from my camera which are generally huge. Normally camera files are at least half of thier original size when they have been converted with practacally no loss of quality.

I'm not sure about your particular TV but I've had problems in the past with devices saying they support Xvid, Divx MPG etc but they sometimes only support them in a narrow band.

Ie You may need to set a specific Key Frame rate, resolution, overall frame rate etc.

The manual may list the acceptable rates.

"Handbrake" is my choice. It's open source software and I use it to covert video files into the correct format for my iPad and iPhone. Superb application that's legally free !

Super C is my recommendation.
