StaxRip how to make divx-home certified stream with xvid encraw?

I found this document that explain the limits of each profile of divx certified logo. I want to make compliant AVI using staxrip and xvidencraw, with the best settings possible. For example i can't understand if i respect maximum value for Macroblocks [40 500 bps] VBV Buffer [384 kB] VBV Bitrate [4854 kbps] The string in staxrip that i try to build is (for CQ encoding): xvid_encraw -vbvsize 3145728 -vbvmax 4854000 -vbvpeak 40500 ?? -cq 2 -smoother 0 -max_key_interval 250 -vhqmode 4 -bvhq -quality 6 -qtype 0 -masking 2 -nopacked -max_bframes 1 -bquant_ratio 162 -bquant_offset 0 -threads 1 -i "%script_file%" -avi "%encoder_out_file%" -par %target_sar% -vbvpeak is macroblocks?! Is the right way to proceed ?!

Wow... Out of interest, what's the make and model of your hardware player?

Not for me. For friends and people that has old panasonic\lg or systems like integrated tv and projector with usb that can't reproduce anything else than avi-divxhome. For now, i kept a WinXP machine for doing the job using the lastest DivX codec 6.8.5 and old staxrip, but now i upgraded to win10 and i want a more simple integrated and flawless workflow. Staxrip accomplish my needs very well but new version doesn't have vfw (so divx) anymore. I've made some encodings for test with standard settings for xvid and try to reproduce to a "strict" projector...not work...( maybe because the FourCC..i'm not investigate further...)

ook Now, what about...that? -nopacked -max_bframes 1 XviD VFW interface keep no restriction on that but should do so. I remember that the bitstream should to be, instead, packed and with only 1 b-frame allowed at maximum. ... I tried a sample conversion with DivX Converter with codec 6.8.5 and him makes a packed bitstream...so this should be the correct way. Right?

If the playback devices are only able to support MPEG-4 SP/ASP streams with b-frames placed within the .avi container, ideally you will need to use 'pack bit-stream'. However, if the playback devices are able to support MPEG-4 SP/ASP streams with b-frames placed within the .mp4 container, you wont need to use 'pack bit-stream'. If you haven't done-so already, try creating some short .avi and .mp4 test sample files. That said, if I can find them, I might be able to provide you with some short .avi and .mp4 test sample files... Cheers

Hi @martynuzza, How about looking at different encoder GUI's. has plenty of support on this forum and offers an XviD 'scratchpad' encoding option ;)

mmm I never used megui, seems to be a good program, I downloaded it and I'm trying it; at first sight I can't see filter preview or a function to add hardcoded subtitles or a setting to select a custom drc compression level in audio. I think I will use it :) Also I noticed that staxrip has the old codec xvid 1.3.3 instead of 1.3.5; I tried to overwrite the new version over but brings to error for complaining about missing yv12 input
