Hi,
I have some rather old (2002 or something) video files encoded with the ripped DivX3.1 codec (those were the days...). However, no hardware solution (dvd-player with support for divx, ps3, ....) can play those, so i was thinking of converting them to either mpeg2 or mpeg4/divx5. Anyone knows a program how to easily do this? The official divx converter doesn't want to recognize the ripped codec, so i'm kinda stuck. And yes, I've been googling, but half the software you get this way, you either have to pay for it or it's just malware/spyware.
Could you send a sample of one of those files? I believe I encoded my movies (and Futurama's!) with the same codec. I think you could go with mencoder. A linux app, but maybe you can run it in a vm?

I tend to use SUPER for re-encoding stuff. So far it always worked for me. You can get it from http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html .
