how to convert DV AVI to divx or xvid avi

what is the easiest way to encode a DV AVI downloaded from a digital camcorder to a regular progressive divx or xvid video into .avi format for permenant use on my computer... i tried with adobe premiere pro which is suposed to be the best, but what i get, is that i can export only in some redicolous avi formats, something about microsoft avi or uncompressed avi???, even thought i have divx and xvid encoders installed on my computer. can virtualdub do that, is this the best way to go, and what plug -in must i use, couse right now, my unchanged VDM says it cannot read dv avi

Use VirtualDub with the Cedocida DV codec. And don't ask about the best way to go; it's against forum rules.

I guess you can export your video in Premiere as Uncompressed AVI and then use VDub to recompress it. I know VDub can be used for capturing too but I don't know how good it is.

VD is pretty bad at capturing, and thanks, i read in some guide to use panasonic DV codec which i dont think defferes from cedocida dv codec very much... so i am done with that

Premiere really sucks at exporting. It doesn't support 3rd party VFW codecs (DivX and XviD) well at all. What you want to do is take your DV file, and use AviSynth with vdub/vdubmod. A script template like this is what I use: Code:

what about that de-noiser, can i use it as a filter in virtual dub. or should i ask, where can i download the most popular de-noise (grain removal) filter that is out there for VD. long ago there was some guy that gave me the link to some place that had all kind of VD filters, but i lost the URL... :(

well i finally found where to export in xvid or divx in adobe premiere pro, but i miss the option where i can make batch encoding, as with job control in VDM

i heard all great stuff about avisynth, but all this scripting... i get scared... i like the ease of the gui apps. i like all my options to be visible and all i have to do is click on them:), maybe its not that hard, i dont know...

my program maybe fit you need 

you can download it from . It depend on a installation of . I'm very sorry because there is no english document in the zip file. You can contact directly by email/gtalk. I'm a programmer and create the project DV-2-XviD, a DV avi batch compress GUI tool, because I need a tool to conjoin and backup my DV clips. Althought version 0.6 lack many important features, I'll listen for any feedbacks and improve it. Update: You can found English infomation . and !
