This weekend I figured out how to create and encode DivX video files. I configured WinXP Pro to use a dual video display and pipe a clone of the screen via SVIDEO. I used a SVIDEO cable to pipe the SVIDEO out directly into the SVIDEO in and used Dr. DivX Live Capture to record the video feed. Then I opened up the recorded AVI in Dr. DivX again and reduced the video size from 45M to about 8M, sacrificing some quality. I recorded audio using a microphone, in this version it just sounds like mumbling. I’ll work the audio part out later. With that said, take a look at the [making of fish #3]. You’ll need to DivX codec from [divx.com].
