Anyone movie knowledge? (divx)
 

Right now i capture my movies from digital tape with firewire to uncompressed avi's and then then i use the mpeg2 codec to make .asf movies. Result 30 secs in 3.5 mb and decent quality.
But lately i saw alot of movies captured with the divx codec and the file sizes are smaller and way better quality, full screen.
Can anybody tell me exactly what i need to do that.
What codec (the normal divx aka mpeg4 codec)?
What program? Im using media cleaner pro now.
Anything else???
Thanks alot.
Oh and would it be a good thing to use movies compressed with divx on paysites?
I want to have as less problems as possible with them, all my users should be able to play the movies. Can Mac users play those vids? AOL? Webtv? Ofcourse i would provide a link to a divx codec download page.

Try VirtualDub. Free and powerful program.. http://www.virtualdub.org/ - I think that this is just one of it's homepage mirrors, do some searching..

And I forgot to add this link: http://w1.463.telia.com/~u46307158/extfaq/index.html
