I downloaded the Helix Producer, but it doesn´t work for some reason...

So is this DivX a whole program, that can open an AVI-file and compress it into a smaller file-size?

Where can I find this program from the net?

no, DivX does none of the compression, it's not like Real that can only play in RealPlayer or Quicktime that (until recently) could only play in Apple's player. DivX is just a compression scheme... say DivX is like a formula without the tools. The tools would be something different like <a href=www.virtualdub.com> virtualdub </a>.

Yea, i've done both high and low bitrate encodes with Real9 (heck, I started that moster RV9 thread @ doom9 forums :) ). Real really kicks ass and takes names at low bitrate.

Here is a low bit rate test. Encode Love Hina episode #15 (my favorite episode) at 448x336. Encode at 275k VBR (RV9, sharp video mode) and select RA8 44k high response for audio. This should move along at about 15 fps on an athlon xp 1700+. The end result for me was 42.7 meg file with damn near perfect video and audio, even at full screen. A heck of a lot more transportable than a 150 - 200 meg divx encode.

Encode that low in divx and all you get is a sea of blocks with muddy tinny audio.

yeah real's audio is just cool
I never mentioned that I did audio tests as well and RealAudio was the best, but anyone can encode something at 44 - 64 kbps and see that theres no artifacting at all like you get in everything else. Not even vorbis compares. 8)

While RA8 20k high response does artifact. In my example, when I re-did it only the into song was noticeably affected. Through out the rest of the show (i.e. the dialoge and sound effects) you are hard pressed to find much if any audio artifacting. The 20k audio will save you about 5 megs of disk space, too.

And either example is completely streamable if you have the bandwidth!!!

I just found out that there's a RealOne for pocketPC's :shock: this is good because I'll be able to fit a lot of anime on a 256 or 512 mb smartcard especially at 320x240
now I just gotta get a pocket pc and i'll be set
