I know about using ffmpegDivX to create a DivX but have read that DivX 5 is better. Now that I have it, I see it install as a QuickTime codec. How can i use it to create a DivX? I assume I start with DVDBackup then...?

Help appreciated.

You need to get the material you want to encode into the Quicktime Pro player, and then choose file|export and one of the options will be Movie to DivX AVI.

If the source material is MPEG2, then you would probably want the MPEG2 Quicktime component. I think the decoder version of it is like $40 from Apple.. I'm not sure if it will work on a .vob file though, never tried it.

I don't think QuickTime will read VOB... Um, I guess the post about using DivX was perhaps directed at Windows users.

Thanks though!
