DiVX Encoding

envy me

Golden Member

I have a small project I am working on at the moment but am having some trouble figuring out how to encode movies properly.

My native resolution is 1920x1080 (1080p via 46" lcd tv) and the project I am working on is just a simple movie captured from World of Warcraft.

I have used Fraps to capture a 7 minute movie (which turned out to be around 4 gigs in size) that is great quality.

I DiVX and VirtualDub installed, and have managed to encode this 4 gig movie into a smaller 450 meg movie without sacrificing much quality (still looks great)


However,

My intention was to add music to the movie along with titles/subtitles etc. So I was playing around with Adobe Premiere Pro, I have my project set the way I want it, with the music playing/fading all the titles in place etc.

When I go to export it to AVI though, I choose the DiVX codec wait while it renders and when done, I play it it looks terrible.. (picture worse than youtube quality). And the video now has a black border around it (video size has shrunk)

I am not sure what settings I should be changing, or what codecs I should be using, all I want is the same divx compressed quality I had using VirtualDub but with music.

I have tried using different compression methods but have not been successfull.

Can someone who is familiar with video encoding and/or Premiere Pro kindly point me in the right direction?


Thanks.
