Ok , I told him that sources are not available but his site is working
by hours because there is too much traffic.
He told me to see on mirrors, there are some which distributes the
sourcecode and here is one :
http://www.dvd-digest.tv/downloads/files/encode/DVDx_1_7_src.zip
I have already done some test: With wine I used his soft and I get
better performance with his one that with mencoder ( I probably can do
more with mencoder as I didn't fine tuned the readahead value and setcd
speed ...
But bytheway when It's not tuned I have about 7 fps when tuned , 9 to 10
, with dvdx in wine : 10 to 11 .
Now you have the source code, so do whatever you want with it.
If you find something which could be made better in dvdx just tell
me or him ...

Thanks for developping such a nice tool !
