I have a music video for a DVD I am making, it is the master copy from a DVCAM tape. Anyway I downloaded the DV tape and burned it to a DVD. Looked great. However, for kicks I took the DV file and converted it to a maximum quality DivX file, burned it to a CD-R, and watched it on my XBox.
The DivX file looks SIGNIFICANTLY better than the DVD does. I am using 8MBPS with Architect 3!
Maybe I am an idiot and DivX is a newer encoder thus it looks better but I always thought DivX even at the highest setting was a WAY lower bitrate than DVD? I paused both videos and I couldn't believe how much sharper the DivX one looked over the DVD. Is there any explination for this?
