ConvertingMPEG2toAVI

Required applications [can be found here.]

You will need

• Gordian Knot rip-pack (GordianKnot v0.27)
• Gordian Knot system pack (includes DivX3.11 and DivX5.02basic)
• Robot4Rip

• [DivX 5.03] (all versions)
• [XviD stable]
• [XviD from Koepi.] This is usually the most stable developers build.
• [Xvid from Nic.] These builds are usually quite stable, plus they have Nic's latest additions not yet in the CVS.
• [XviD from uManiac.] CVS 0-day releases (if you do not know what that means then you should probably be using Koepi's releases.)
• For DivX5.x and XviD you should use [VirtualDubMod] for manual encodes.
• [DVX]
• DivX5Enc
• (Enc)?
• [GordianKnot v0.28alpha] (#13 at the time of writing)
