Easy Software to Convert DivX/XVid > Standard AVI/MPEG???

[Seeruk]

The media centre extender function for the Xbox 360 is awesome... the only downside is not supporting DivX.

Anyone know a simple 1/2 click bit of software (or the easiest available and prefereably one that can queue jobs) that will convert DivX formats to either bog standard avi or mpeg 2 ??

Cheers

Tried it but....

02:06:27: One of the movies has a non-standard framerate
Standard framerates are 23.976,25,29,97 and 29.976
Non-standard framerates are not supported in DIKO

thats odd, most divx are 23.976

Hmm...
Compressed AVI? Uncompressed AVI would be really intensive memory-wise so I assume you mean compressed...
Do you know precisely which formats your player supports? AVI and MPEG are just names of containers.

edit: grammar

AutoGK?

Trade me your xbox360 for my moddedxbox. It supports divx/xvid as is and has 12xs the hdd space!

It doesnt really matter what type of mpeg/avi. Disk space is not an issue (Almost 1TB of disk space in the media box 🙂 )

Preferably the higher quality the better. But at the end of the day as long as the resulting file is not DivX/Xvid then it will play through the 360.

I am sure its only a matter of time till it gets hacked but just thought there must be an easy prog to use in the meantime.

I looked at AutoGK and it seems designed to work the other way round (i.e. avi/mpeg > Divx)

Indeed they are.... I found some that were the standard frame rate and it seems to achieved something..... I have a crap load of files created from it though.... 3 mpg files, 1 mpv, 1 xml, 1 lst, 1 txt, 1 avisynth script, 1 wav.

I guess these can be packaged up into something but to be frank, if there is one area of computing I know zero about its video encoding/decoding 🙂
