I can help you. Where are you from ? I am french and I wonder : if I help you making divx and vcd, could you then ship me recent movies in divx format. First go take a look at : http://www.ifrance.com/abcdivx/dudvdau.htm Even if you don't understand the french, download : DivX Codec (3.11alpha ou supérieur) Radium MP3 Codec Dvd2mpeg4 Bitrate Calculator VobDec FlasKMPEG 0.593 (ou supérieur) Virtua Dub Ralfodivx v1.5 Movie Box Database v1.21 That's all for today.

Hi Christ,

Maybe I can help you, but first I think I have to know your cpu configuration. As I'm from Indonesia, we use mostly PC based Win98 platform, not macintosh or NT.

my configuration :

Win98 PC-Platform PII/450 20 gb Hard Disk 256 RAM BD100 Plus Mother Board Creative SBLive! Sound Card ATI AIW128 / 32 Mb Video Capture Card StudioDV Firewire card Yamaha CRW2200 - CD writer

Hardware you need : -Video Capture Card (support 352x288 and 352x240 resolution) (if can capture in YUY2 format, the better) -Sound Card -CD writer

Software you need : -Video capture software (AVI-IO is nice, I can send it for you) -Good Codec (Huffyuv is nice, losless codec) -Video Editing software (just in case you want to edit the video). -AVI Synth (if you want to frameserver your final movie) -Tmpeg encoder (to make the mpeg1-vcd comliant) -Burning program (Nero 5.5 is good to burn your mpeg to CD)

That's it for today..:-) Just reply me if you're interested to : reko@centrin.net.id

Regards, Reko.

PS: If you a bit lazy e-mailing back n forth, you can learn from : http://www.vcdhelp.com it's a nice site to learn anything about video. GOOD LUCK.
