Anyone know where you can still get divx4?/guide discussion

This makes me question why we have conflicting guides on the site...

Because some of us would rather leave a render going overnight and be done with it than wait 10 seconds every time I want to move my timeline marker...

If this is a reference to working with VOBs directly via AVISynth, then EADFAG does cover making lossless AVIs or using the swap method instead, both of which avoid these.

... or actually preview all of the frames in the clip I'm thinking about pulling, and not just the I-frames.

But I admit I have no idea what this is about.

And new-guide is out, just not on the .org. Was waiting for all the comments to subside from Otakon before I released it.

My way is right for me. After a lot of feedback, it's apparently been right for a lot of other people too. I'm sharing my method, and due to my history, people tend to follow my advice. If it's not working for you, don't complain. It's free

I think the question was more along the lines of "why did the Org staff approve the submission of a guide that contradicted one they already had endorsed?", not "why did <i>you make</i> a guide that contradicted one the Org had already endorsed?".

I request a lock on this thread for veering off-topic and leaning into political bullshit.

Locking the thread would probably be jumping the gun at this point. Besides, the thread went a couple days before you posted without replies. It isn't getting out of hand.

For now I'm moving the thread and adjusting the topic to better reflect the content of the thread.

I've found Vicbond's guide alot easier to understand as far as ripping DVD footage and getting it into an editable state. That's how I finally figured it out (I could never get it from AD's guide), but once I figured out how to do that from Vicbond's guide, I moved on to AD's guide and used it to learn how to do everything else, and still use it for referrence on a normal basis.

But to each his own.
