Hi! Recently bought dvdfab platinum (4.1.2.0 ) to rip to my pmp (mobiblu t30). Great product, but can anyone confirm whether it actually supports divx? I searched the forum, and it looks like it doesn't. However, the product page says "Generic: Convert DVD title to MPEG-4/DivX/XVID/H.264 AVI/MP4 file, which can be played on PC."

I've only seen xvid in the format options, and my understanding is dvdfab uses internal codecs (though I don't actually have the divx codec installed on my machine). Any suggestions?

it does not do divx yet, but if enough of us request it, maybe it will at some point.

AFAIK fab uses its own internal codecs.

Why bother when it uses XVid which I regard as a better option?

I've read on a couple of sites that divx is more compatible with my mp4 player, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Shame they don't support it - they actually list divx under the generic formats... I'm guessing licensing costs would bump the price up.

I was hoping it'd solve the problem I was having with occasional bad frames (makes my player skip to the next video). Is there anything I can do while I'm converting to minimise the chances of this? I don't do anything exotic - dvd to xvid with mp3 (400x whatever res). I've been leaving kaspersky enabled in the background - could that be causing it?

divx is more widely supported in other devices, and is better supported in Vista, than xvid

Dixv continues to be developed ( now at version 6.8) whereas xvid seems ot have stalled at 1.3

& finally, as the OP said, dvdfab has claimed for years in its marketing blurb that it does DIVX - so either change the blurb or implement the feature !

I agree, as I would like to use the newer Divx HD 720 and 1080 conversion settings direct in DVDFab Plat
