thanatos355 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 may give winavi a shot at making avi's instead of just mpegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonHelton Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 may give winavi a shot at making avi's instead of just mpegs. DUDE! You lose quality when you convert it to an MPEG!! Leave it an AVI, and just convert it to DivX 5, Mpeg 3 Audio! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanatos355 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 dude!!! was just saying that when i did convert to dvd files, i used winavi. it's alot faster then anything else. the quality is a little lower, but when you compare a 1 hr conver per movie to a 14-20hr convert per movie, you can deal with a little qual loss!

yelluh Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Does anybody know that you can watch all your divx, xvid and mpegs on a modified X-Box ? You can even copy the movie onto the hard disk and play it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zgamesforu Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 how would you modify it anyways. you would have to upgrade the firmware. Then couldn't you use a ps2 also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zgamesforu Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 whoah that's complicated. I don't think you can overwrite the BIOS of ps2 vuz it's not flash or RAM. PS2 i think has assembly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
law Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 hey I modded my xbox and thats what i use to watch everything... so easy to do really... plus with a new hd you can take gigs of episodes and films over to ppls houses etc, with no need to burn it to cd/dvd. plus you can put xbox games, emulators and more on the hard drive. All in all you get a sweet package and it will be able to play all new video formats from here into the far future. xbox rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all you get a sweet package and it will be able to play all new video formats from here into the far future. xbox rocks. I've been thinking about this, but from what I understand, a modded Xbox can't be played on Xbox Live. Is that correct? Being able to play Halo 2 online is one of the reasons I want to get an Xbox, but I really would love to be able to play AVIs and DVDs on it as well.

Good Gawd!!! What resolution and bit-rate were you running? What kind/speed CPU? I can start a 350 MB episode transcoding when I go to bed and it finishes long before I wake up. And I'm just running a dual PIII Xeon at 800 MHz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanatos355 Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 well, i'm running a 1.4ghz athlon t-bird with 512 pc133 ram and when i was encoding to dvd format, tmpgenc would take 14-24hrs to encode a single 1.5hr movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteShdw Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 MPEG-2 does take considerable longer to encode than MPEG-4. I used my laptop (867mhz) to convert a DVD to 2 SVCDs (which requires re-compression), and it took about 14-18 hours, but that was at SVCD resolution, not DVD, which would take much longer. It was real pain in the rear. Of course, my new AMD Athlon 64 rips through video. DivX gets about 100 fps on Standard mode, and 40 fps on Slow.
