I used DVX-3 this weekend and I was very impressed with the results, the quality seemed better than GK but that may just be me. I did have a couple questions however.
1. I am using divx 5.0.2 and when I go to configure the codec settings, the options for the mpeg4 tools are all greyed-out (I can't select any of them). I would like to use bi-directional encoding but can't, is this only available when using 5.0.3?
2. I noticed that DVX is not as accurate when it comes to the final file size, I'm often off by as much as 10 mbs whereas GK seemed to nail it pretty close every time. Does DVX recalculate the bitrate on the second pass? Looking at the logs, it looks like it used the same bitrate for both passes and I didn't see an option to specify this as in GK.
