Converting Key Words avi , mpeg , mpg , divx xvid .

This guide will explain how to convert an

MPEG2 (SVCD) to Xvid. Xvid is a free Open Source alternative to Divx. For Divx conversions see the guide to Convert a Digital Video to Divx Format.

  • Launch Virtualdub
I tested this with version VirtualDub 1.9.9 and MPEG2.vdplugin [OK]
  • Open the MPEG2 Videoclip that you want to convert, File->Open video file
  • Select under Video->Fast recompress (Do not use full processing)
  • Select also under Audio->Full processing
  • Select Video->Compression
I used "XviD MPEG-4 Codec" yv12 (xvidvfw.dll)
  • CLICK CONFIGURE
  • MTK NTSC and Twopass - 1st pass
  • Select Audio->Compression
  • I selected 128Kbps
  • And last hit File->Save AVI.

TESTING RESULTS: SUCCESS!

Troubleshooting

ERROR: Statsfile not found

SOLUTION: In XviD Configuration->Encoding Type, make sure it's first set for "Twopass-1st Pass. Then hit the "More" button and scroll to the place you want to keep the stats file (nowadays it's a .pass file), and give it a name, "Movie.pass".
