DivX 5 Vs DivX 4.12

[hacker_on_fire]

I used DivX 5 (which took over 4.12 :mad: ) to encode part of a film, but gave me worse quality than 4.12, when same settings were used on both?
How comes?

[techno]

cause they both suck!

Anyway, because DIVX 5 is still in the early stages, give it time.

But usually cause the slack off when doing programming!

5 is an upgrade over for 4.12. Consider it something like 4.13, only that the upgrade is very much bigger compared to previous ones. Hence, the 'takeover' of 4.12, though I would be more inclined to call it upgrade.

Using the same settings in divx4 and 5 will produce nearly identical results, so the standard version of divx5, does not really deserve the name divx5 (one of the divx developers has agreed with me on this), the pro version adds some nice features which should help quality, but they also require alot more cpu power for playback.

Anyway the divx5 format like divx3 and 4 are based on mpeg4, there are limits to what can be achived with this or any other format for that matter. So don't expect any miracles.

Well, thats mature.

@techno: PLONK

@KHP: BANG!

i have tested the pro version a little bit, and get that results when using little higher bitrates, its just great (but have to test a full procedure yet)

the filesize is enormous small at that bitrate

huh?

exactly,

HUH????????????????

I'd like to insert a HUH?? also :)

5 std does add stuff that 4.12 does not have like the Psychovisual modeling and is further optimized for P4 and Athlon.

The xXx trailer looks pretty good at 9mb in size, even when stretched to 1024x768 full screen. I aint played it with 5 (don't like it) yet though only with 4, so I may be missing some of the extra stuff that 5 could do.

All bashing stopped as of my last post.
Techno has been added to my ignored list.

KHP is on my ignore list as he is not mature. I am just saying things from my personal expereince.

What is wrong with people in these days? Why don't they respect anyone?

I have no grudge against KHP but the way he is going...

Let's just stop this. The thread is becoming unhealthy.

Exactly my friend Enchanter.

it should mean that i got some very nice results testing it with small clip examples, but i have to test a full encoding

anyone already made xperiences with divx5?

[Enchanter]

I was actually thinking whether you got a smaller filesize (with the same good quality) or otherwise. :)

Yes, I have tested it on approx. 10 different movies, using the pro version with b-frames and GMC turned on, but with q-pel turned off, as per doom9's advice, q-pel can produce textrures that apper to jump around on large surfaces during playback.
I have been able to reproduce this problem with movies that compress really poorly.

Other than that I have had no problems with divx5

the filesize is enormous small at that bitrate :confused: I have 120 min at 700 MB but onli 400 keyframes in first 5 min. I set at 100 frame /p keyframe bat not
change.

Well I've put everyone on my ignore list :P

:eek: Hello anybody out there?

hellllooooo!!

Nope your all gone :bglaugh2:
