Nice seeing the improvements here. I especially like the way you've used the music to an excellent effect during some of the transitions such as the fades.
Though I don't know what functions this might have, codecs like DivX offers choices such as doing one-pass or "multipass", as well as whether to go slow, stardard or fast. I too often pick or choose between options when I do my captures as well as change the bitrate depending on how much I want for my videos.
Still could use some Xvid advice ... Xvid conversion for Mac. I have FFmpeg and a few others which have never worked right for me for most things.

All right, I need to figure out how to do good conversions to DivX and Xvid on this Mac. Quicktime won't even do it right ... the version of Divx I have there is broken, nothing works on it. I think they took all the capability out of it to force me to use MPEG-4. Which doesn't give much compression bang for the filesize.
No advice from PC users please ... Mac users give me some advice here.
OK, I won't try to say anything about this, and I haven't used Macs in years.
I know how upset you are. I was mad they discontinued the "Dr. DivX" program I'm still clinging onto on my PC. That one was a bit simple, but still workable for what I have to do with it.
ADDENDUM - Well, this is slow. Like, 5 hours for 5 minutes slow. Hm. Then again, I was asking it to really compress the hell out of this video.

Right now I'm downloading the Create bundle ... again ... from divx.com and I'll let you know how that goes.
ADDENDUM - Downloaded. Installed. Found a serial #. Their Divx creator is a little doodad with no apparent functionality. Christ, I hate this crap! They design it to look simple, have no buttons, like we're idiots and are impressed by that. If we're creating videos, we don't want cute doodads, we want programs that work. It lets me select a few presets, and there is a "custom" setting that I can't customize. I click Preferences and nothing happens.
Well ... once I ask it to encode something it does seem to be letting me specify settings now. I just hate this cutesy crap.

Well you won't be able to get any from me then, but hopefully some here will suggest a few options.
