Hi Michael, I have just tested your "mencoder" parameters and that looks better than all that I could test until now. On the other hand, i have a little deceleration of video during some tenths of a second every 4 or 5 seconds. The image and the sound are of good quality. Thank you very much.

I want to convert a divx (620x272 and 23,96 fps) to vdr (001.vdr and genindex) because i want to play it on my (slow) box.This is something I've been trying to do too, with mixed success. I don't have the details in front of me, but mplayer/mencoder is partially working for me for DVDs and (S)VCDs, especially with the -dumpstream option.
dumpstream does not work here. As far as I understand, dumpstream works with MPEG2 files only (which DivX is not). When used with MPEG2 files (e.g. from a SVCD), genindes didn't work.
I've had success with the following command: (all in one line)
mencoder file.avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg2video:vbitrate=2500:mbd=2:acodec=mp2:abitrate=192 -vf scale=480:576 -of mpeg -ofps 25 -o 001.vdr
maybe you have to add an 'aspect' option, too.
