Just to throw in my 2 cents. Got the sony convertor about 6 months ago for $300 new (used is less) and it seems to be doing a bang up job. If you got the extra cash, just get a c…

Hi all, Once again, Lukifer's taken down his web site. Anyone know how to get a hold of the tools he had on there? How about the forum? The URL was: http://www.macdvd.org/lukife…

try this site for DVD-related tools. -r.

I doubt it ever comes up again... Basically EVERYONE wants a program that they can double click and it converts their DVD into a DivX file... well, maybe that's what i'm looking …

I had some time and decided to run some tests on the recent codecs out there. Here's what I found: zygo - low bitrate (even on best setting), low quality; very choppy playback; ei…

if you have access to Windows, how do the various versions of divx compare?

I have VPC, but I'm not familiar with the DivX codecs. Also, since 3ivX is comparable and since DivX playback compatibility is not so good on OS X, I see no reason for me to use a …

IMHO divx is awesome in osx. 3ivx plays great on my 450 mp. These are currently the best codecs for movies. Most 1.5 hr flicks will look great(full screen) at under 700 mb. Both…

I can't find the link. But check your mail.

you can get DivX for OSX at www.divx.com

Hows about this one? I've seen the last two DivX 5 moivies - The Hunt and xXx - and this one just "smokes" the current DivX 5 codec. And it's a old beta. For more info check out …

well, I dont think sorenson MPEG4 is free... or is it that its not offialy out? Either way, I would expect Apple's MPEG4 codec to be just as good or better than that. -Owl [ 03-2…
