Comment by henrik%n...@gtempaccount.com, Jan 11, 2010

I love your application, however if i would like to remove the start menu of a dvd move, and move straight to the movie? It would be very good if you could add functions for removing extra material on the dvd and the menu. And for future function also make it possible to extract the subtitles from a dvd or include one in the .divx directly. I have not found any forum where support and new functions can be discussed.

Thanks for good work!

Comment by project member romance990033@gmail.com, Jan 11, 2010

Your are welcome , and thanks :)

riping from DVD is in the feature plan , and thanks for useful suggestion , i hope to introduce these feature soon .

Comment by henrik%n...@gtempaccount.com, Jan 12, 2010

I'm glad to hear that you plan on doing the ripping feature, however in my case, this has already been done. I have already ripped my movies from dvd 2 .img and I got the menu and everything, however when i try to do .divX movies of these, they loop in the menu, DivX don't have support to enter one of the choices and I can't watch the movie the files are about 9 Gb large.

Comment by project member romance990033@gmail.com, Jan 12, 2010

As I understand you mean you want to choose specific chapters or parts from the movies to encode right ?

I will keep this comments in mind until starting build the new feature until then hope this version very helpful and stable :)

thanks again

Comment by eza...@gmail.com, Jan 13, 2010

Installed Debian package http://foxoman.googlecode.com/files/divxconverter_2.0.1-1_all.deb on Ubuntu Karmic 32bit. divxc can't start as non privileged user because there are files with wrong permissions i.e.: ls -l /usr/share/divx-converter/main.glade -rw------- 1 1000 1000 124643 2010-01-12 19:44 /usr/share/divx-converter/main.glade

solved with: sudo chmod -R +r /usr/share/divx-converter/

Comment by linuxma...@gmail.com, Jan 13, 2010

I just sent Italian translation in your private email. Or should I upload that here?

Comment by henrik%n...@gtempaccount.com, Jan 17, 2010

I have been using the new stable version for some days now. And I'm very pleased it has been working very well and not one single crash. However one strange thing that came up that I would like to investigate a bit but I don't know what syntax the app used to perform the divX encoding thou Menucoder.

I got some proposals for improvements that I would like in future releases. 1.Get the current fps value when encoding instead of getting it after encoding is done. 2.Get the syntax of the choices or presets your using. 3.Drag and drop to main area to decode. 4.Add .img as a video format.

And as you said before, I would like to have DivXConverter as a program that I can put the .img directly in to instead of having k9copy to do the ripping (only keep the track in use) and remove the menu. Also if you were able to choose the subtitle you would like to have encoded it would be nice if DivXConverter would rip out the subtitle and then add it.

Well as I said before! Your app is very helpful for someone like me! And so bug free! You are a very good coder!

Comment by project member romance990033@gmail.com, Jan 20, 2010

@ henrik@nyberg.nu : special thanks to you for your helpful comments here , No 1 and 3 is in my todo list for the upcoming release . No 2 is a new idea and now it's in the List , thanks :)

For the .img and riping the DVD and subtitle will be in todo list for the next generation 3.X

I will learn more about python and mencoder and hope to release a powerful app for linux user :)

Try run it as root , as I aware there is wrong file permissions in the package , so I need help to rebuild it

Comment by apiem...@gmail.com, Jan 28, 2010

Thanks for the nice application.

I installed in fedora 11, but got this error when running as regular user:

I/O error : Permission denied I/O error : Permission denied I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/usr/share/divx-converter/main.glade"

it can be solved with

sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/divx-converter/main.glade

(was mode 600 originally)

I have serious problem!!!

When clicking on 'Help" button, lots of help windows starts opening at once and finally I must kill X server to stop that.

Using on Debian Squeeze x86

Comment by acava...@gmail.com, Aug 20, 2011

how can I leave several video files with diferent subtitle files? Because I add the video files with no problem but they all point to the same subtitle and if I change the subtitle for the correct one, all the files have that subtitle :(

Comment by project member foxoma...@gmail.com, Aug 28, 2011

I will look to all these problem as soon I have a time to maintain this project

Comment by liamgran...@gmail.com, Aug 31, 2011

Doesn't work :( Some glade error messages and then a seg fault. (same error with both x86 and x64 versions) Too bad, i can't get to find an mencoder gui, only those for ffmpeg work, and i need mencoder to hardcode subs. :'(

In order to listen to the songs on an MP3 player you will need to convert the URL itself. This is something that thousands have been waiting for; the chance to own the music that they love.

Great tool, man! This solved my problem with DVD players. I hope you keep going this project. Regards.

Comment by dieselgu...@gmail.com, Nov 18, 2011

I was looking long for for such a app that can easily produce files that can be played on my dvd player. All other apps failed because I don't know what ffmpeg or mencoder options are needed to create standard divx videos. Can someone explain what the output presets are good for? They make no difference in files size. Which option should I use to make it compliant with divx "Home Theatre" standard? Suggestions for the next release: implement settings for divx standard profiles as listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DivX#DivX_profiles store the last settings as a user default for the next run. make the screens smaller to fit on netbooks with a resolution of 1024x600. At the moment the screens dont fit on netbooks and not all settings can be reached.
