Re: Remove DRM from .divx to watch them on a standalone DVD player with DivX support

Screen video capture software need some tricks:
  • You need a 2-pass encoding to get smaller files. But you can't capture from your screen using a 2-pass encoding!
  • For the best quality it is recommended to record using Huffyuv lossless codec first. It provides very good quality, but generates a data stream of 10-15 MB/sec.
    If your hard drive is not fast enough then you may use a Motion JPEG codec: Morgan MJPEG, PICVideo MJPEG, MainConcept MJPEG. They generate data stream of 3-8 MB/sec while providing good quality.
  • After that you may compress your Huffyuv or Motion JPEG recordings into MPEG-4 (DivX) using a 2-pass encoding.
  • It is usually a good idea to convert DivX to DivX, Windows Media to Windows Media, Real Media to Real Media. But you can test other codecs as well like free MPEG-4 AVC codec x264 or free MPEG-4 ASP codec xvid. It doesn't mean that you have to use a .divx container with the DivX video codec 'coz you can use .avi, .mp4, .mkv or .ogm instead.
