Gordian Knot started out as a bit-rate calculator, and has now turned into one of the best DVD to DivX conversion tools around.
This guide is divided into three sections, one for converting a DVD to DivX 3.x, one for converting to DivX 5.x and the other for converting to XviD 1.x.
|
Advantages :
- Good compression, even though less advanced compression features are used
- Better compatibility
Disadvantages :
- DivX 3.x not entirely legal (hacked codec)
- Outdated - does not have advanced compression features of DivX 5.x
- Hard to control final file size

Advantages :
- Great for controlling final file size (eg. for fitting onto one 700 MB CD)
- More advanced compression features (eg. DivX Pro : multi-pass, bi-directional enc, GMC, Qpel), which may give better compression
- Completely legal solution
Disadvantages :
- DivX Pro not 100% free (free 6-months trial version available)
