I'm having a problem with some of my videos that won't play with the default "Video Decoder" - the output is garbled audio and no video. Switching to the Windows Media Player codec plays the video, but causes VDJ to lock up for a few seconds and stutter.
So - I found this pretty cool tool called MediaCoder on the SourceForge.net site (http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/). It's a batch transcoder.
So - my thought was to transcode these bad videos into something that VDJ would play.
Now, I know that MPEG-1 is somewhat poor quality, so transcoding any of those to MPEG-2 wouldn't get me any quality gains. But - I'll be ripping my new stuff at MPEG-2 (I guess that's the best quality / filesize combination??) - so I may just do it 'cause.
So I chose the preset for "SVCD". That yields a 976 Kbps fixed bitrate on the video, and 192 Kbps audio thru Lame. Since I am VERY new to all this - does that sound right???
Thanks!

I have no idea what you are talking about, because I am not that sharp. What I do know is, I rip my dvd's into vob files, and I get great results. What dvd's are you using, and what program are you using to rip them?

Yes ripping to VOB will give best results. But it is like taking an audio CD and ripping it as WAV and trying to play it on your MP3 player. It will sound brilliant, but fill the storage space. So why not compress it to MP3?
Same difference here.
VOB's need to be compressed too!
Look at the Tutorial in my blog:

If you have limited storage space, you need to use compressed formats such as mp3 or divx. As for my system, I have 1.5 TB and will be adding another 2 TB this summer after prom season. I don't like spending additional time encoding my music or videos. An entire Promo Only DVD only takes about 7 mins or so to transfer to my hard drive as a vob.
