What I don't understand is, if I, for instance, downloaded Star Trek: Voyager's DVDs, they come through crystal clear 720x405 Divx AVIs, and yet if I use the tools from Doom9 (which were still confusing as hell), the Divx output is very blocky. I targetted the one-hour (or, 40 minute) Firefly episode off of my DVDs for 375MB (which is your standard download size for a one-hour TV show) and it just came out crappy.
Thoughts?
