Go to your windows start menu>programs>divx>divx codec>divx configuration utility, then go to the 'quality settings' tab and check 'disable logo'

Done :roll:

Oh, by the way, don't use DivX as footage for AMV's - only for final export! :?
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

To break it down, there are basically two (2) variations of encoders; lossy (MPEG 1-4, XviD, DivX) and lossless (Huffman YUV) encoders.

Lossy and Lossless encoders are both used for compression. Lossy degrades and/or wraps the binary of the digital video (hence "encodes") with a certain algorythm that will lower the size, usually considerably. However, the quality also takes a hit and is reduced.

Lossless encoders, however, use the same compression algorythm as .Zip drives; which lowers the size (albeit MUCH less dramatically) but retains the original quality. Thus Lossy (quality is lost) and Lossless (quality is not lost).

Compression is loosely (read: loosely) based off the inverted equation between file size and quality. You can have more quality for a higher filesize, and vice versa. Although it really isn't as simple as that, since you have a variety of more than one encoder to use.

Lossy encoders today are able to give you a minimal (example: less than 100 mb per 5 minutes) file size but with quality not as good as a lossless encoder can give you. This is why you should stay away from encoders that are lossy (MPEG 1-4, XviD, DivX) while editing. This way you can have perfect quality to edit with.

"So why are all the videos on the .Org encoded with Lossy codecs?" Because, simply put, there is a difference between what you should edit with and what you can distribute. You may think that if you're going to end up with Lossy encoded footage anyway you should edit with it, you should think again.

The quality will have more degradations in it than editing with lossless since you are compressing all over again what was already compressed. It won't look as good, and the filesize may be questionable. And since you aren't distributing these larger files (lossless encoded footage) online but only keeping them for usage on your harddrive, you might as well go for the quality gold.

To put things more simply; Lossless codecs (Huffyuv) should be used for editing with, and Lossy codecs (MPEG 1-4, XviD, DivX) should only be used for compressing your final version; or your distrobution version.

This is why you shouldn't use DivX (a Lossy codec) to compress your source. It's a waste. Download The AMV App program, made by Editors for Editors; it will contain the Huffyuv codec you'll need in order to compress Lossless. :wink:

Yeah... CD Burners are -great- tools to prove video quality... O_o Just like how my Sound Blaster Audigy works as a 3D accelerator. >.>
