Well, I think the reason why it was poor quality earlier was because I 
was doing other things during the encoding and must have overloaded my 
system. I restarted and tried again with no other programs taking up 
resources and I was able to almost successfully encode one of the divx 
files I have. I started off at first re-encoding the entire DVD, but I 
didn't want to wait 4 hours to see if it worked. I encoded the first 
divx file and ended up with a 750mb mpeg file, so I will have to reduce 
the bitrate a little. I think I used 1300, so I will try 1000 or something.

The main problem is the audio/video interleave. The sound was about 1/2 
second delayed, and it was kind of like watching an old Godzilla movie 
redone in English. The mouths were moving but the words were not the 
same. I tried encoding some other avi files and got the same thing, and 
then I encoded a portion directly from the DVD and the interleave was 
off from there as well. How do I fix this? It must be a setting I am 
missing/messing up since it is happening on every file I encode...
