Xvid/AC3 to MQV

[dach95]

Here are some statements of my findings regarding converting Xvid AC3 Avi file to MQV.

1.)  ICv1.0 does not support Xvid video, need to convert video stream to DivX;-)  Use (VirtualDub*Video*Compression*select divx)  Also, select Full reprocess mode or Fast Recompression.   If you are using ICv1.1, some say it support Xvid, hence, just use (VirtualDub*Video*Direct Stream Copy)

2.) IC does not support AC3 sound, need to uncompress it.  Also, VirtualDub does not natively support AC3.  Install AC-3 ACM Decompressor by fccHandler from this site.  http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/AC3ACM/index.html  (Now, VirtualDub can read AC3. (To install, just unzip, and right click on AC3ACM.inf file*hit Install from the menu.  Read simple doc if you don't get this.) Thanks to dvdrhelp.com, I found this.

3.) Now in (VirtualDub*Audio*Compression*select No Compression PCM).  Also, select Full reprocess mode.

4.) Now create a new (DivX/PCM)AVI file. (VirtualDub*File*Save As AVI)

5.) The newly written (DivX/PCM)AVI should now be able to run thru IC.

6.)  You should know the rest, if not, search and read other helpful post here.  Enjoy.

For part 1, IC supports Xvid (at least in 1.1).. I'd tried that...

if your already converting, convert using tmpgenc (http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html) to mpeg1

I wouldn't convert to mpeg1 first, I would your highest bitrate divx and send that to imageconverter to make the MQV.
