[Opendivx] Development proposal

["MBGA8CSH" <MBGA8CSH@fs1.eng.man.ac.uk>]

I did a bit of reading recently and realised why encoding divx is so 
slow.  The purpose of this post is for people to correct me when I'm 
wrong - please feel free to slaughter my idea!

Okay if you 'back up' an DVD you're encoding from YUV-RGB-DIVX.  The 
reason you can capture in realtime at good quality with MPEG-4 even 
on a low spec is because the process is only RGB-DIVX.  The solution 
to encode a dvd in realtime (or faster) is presumbably to rewrite 
divx to accept a YUV input, this way the following would be possible: 
YUV-DIVX.  

By eliminating this stage a lot of time would surely be saved.
