Xvid 1.0 codec quicktime

Popularity without being commercial Score: 5 , Informative. If you're into anime fansubs of things that aren't in the US yet, you'd quickly see how.

They use XVid. When a new ep is released of those two, it's usually downloaded a couple thousand times on Bit Torrent alone, then spread over P2P thereafter.

The codec proliferates quite nicely like that. Re:Yea but Score: 3 , Interesting. But who cares? Those corporations don't give the consumer the "good stuff" anyway. I know what it is like being in college and without a car. It makes life difficult to actually rent a movie. So we download them. And to watch a tv show? I want a reliable source to get my shows from, something more reliable than a random bum who is kind enough to encode the shows vcd?

I'd gladly pay a small fee to. Score: 2. I can download any show on TV within a couple of minutes after it airs. If i'm lucky some group released a pre-air hours or even days before regular air. Its just all about knowing where to look. Actually, email me at benna brokenirc.

My slashdot address is delayed by greylisting. Score: 4 , Informative. Well, since it is MPEG-4 conformant, it is supported commercially. I haven't tried many other players, but as long as their MPEG-4 implementation isn't completely borked, then they should play it as well. DRM is wholly different from the codec. It doesn't matter. In fact at one point, Sigma Designs [sigmadesigns.

Score: 5 , Informative. That's why Xvid. There is something somewhere that states that you can't compile it unless you have a licence for Mpeg So, they release the source and expect you to compile it. That's also why sites like this exist, where you can get binaries. Though modded as flamebait, I'd say this is pretty insightful. XViD doesn't exist to make money Believe it or not, there are uses for mp3s other than stealing music, and there are uses for XViD other than stealing movies.

So what if commercial publishers don't want to use XViD because it doesn't have DRM - not everything on the internet was put there by commercial publishers. XViD is for people, not companies. Grab the 1. For Windows users, grab a compiled binary of XviD 1. A lot easier than going through xvid. Re:Grab the 1.

Wow, they have a nice server! The DL finished before the dialog box finished loading Now if only the Mozilla devs would ever get around to fixing that damn stupid bug that crashes Moz when you try to save a file every now and then Just like DivX, except Score: 5 , Interesting. Re:Just like DivX, except Score: 2 , Informative. DivX and XviD ;- are different codecs altogether--that's like saying that Quicktime is Real Media in a silver box rather than a green one. They're both MPEG-4 codecs. MPEG-4 is supposed to work like MP3 is now in that there are many different encoders, and only one decoder is needed for all of them.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Firstly, there is no ";- " after Xvid. Score: 3 , Insightful. You do realize that you can get just the DivX codec, without any of the assocoated crappy spyware and media player, right? Click here [divx. Nice, huh? I don't know about DivX 5. For more see this page [virtualdub. Yes, but it comes with a lovely annoying watermark that sits on your videos for 10 seconds or so every time you play them - and not just one DivX encoded files, that would be too easy, it does it on just about every file that DivX can play back Including Xvid, amusingly, if you installed DivX more recently.

You can turn the watermark off, even on the free version. It does it to tell the person that it is being used to play the file. Score: 5 , Funny. Re:whats keeping xvid from doing mainstream Whole XVID development is "purely for educational purposes". And where do you expect them to get the money to pay the patent licenses they'd need?

By releasing only source code, they get considered an academic research project and don't have to pay for the patent licenses. It's no different than it is with LAME. No thanks. You can get Windows Binaries Here [goe. If you notice, they provide no binaries for any operating system on their website. There is probably some legal reasons for this.

Score: 3 , Informative. There are three major distributions of XviD. Koepi's is the most popular, because his Windows compiles used to be considered the fastest; it is the one that has been posted above several times already. Re:Squeezer Score: 2. Distributing source is ok, though. Unless you can talk MPEG into granting some kind of exception for Xvid, you're not likely to get any kind of binaries soon.

Ripping now Transcoding with the xvid library is almost done. Quality is really very good versus some of the commercial applications out there for Windows. For example, the deep blue scenes in "Finding Nemo" tend to look blocky and sort of like a mosaic with a commercial Win2K program. Using DVDRip with xvid on a Fedora Core 1 machine the same scene is a lot smoother and the color gradients are not nearly as noticeable. They do take a LONG time however. But the quality is better so I'm happy.

This will be a major commercial application in what ever form it finally takes place. Maybe this should be an "Ask Slashdot" thing, but since many video folks are looking on this site, I might as well ask in this story. Without going into specifics of the project I am starting with a totally clean sheet of paper here.

What I need to do is be able to record several hours of video in a form that should be as lossless as possible lossy formats are O. The video capture is going to happen in an embedded system, but playback will happen on a standard P. Playback is going to be a custom written application anyway, so it doesn't matter if it is currently supported by any common player. This is still a possibility, so I am going to try and give back. At the moment, due to some cheap hardware, we are implemented an MPEG-1 encoder for the system.

This does a fair job, but I'd like to try and improve it. Still, I like the fairly good compression, lossless algorithms in the format and it is still an option. Some plusses and minuses, but it really is more convience if this is the option we will use. Certainly a candidate for me. I'm not really all that familiar with MPEG-4, but it seems a huge jumble to me and means a lot of things to a lot of people, together with a bunch of misunderstanding fostered by equipment salesmen.

This system XviD does look interesting, and I like the open specifications of it particularly. I guess I've looked around and would like to get some feedback as to what video encoding would you use on a totally clean sheet application if you had to encode video? Any takers? OGG Vorbis is an audio codec that is quite good but a totally free video codec is still only in early development.

A very interesting one is the ability to encode the differences in audio streams and therefore save sometimes considerable space. It is currently used most ofter with XVID but can be used with pretty much any video or even audio codec. As far as the What would i do with a clean slate, i would probably use OGG with vorbis as the audio and xvid as the video Good luck.

Ogg Video Score: 5 , Informative. Ogg Theora [theora. It's based on On2 [on2. Basically, their last task is to finish documenting the stream format before the Beta release. It is especially handy if you have little CPU power and absolutely need a lossless codec, since it seems to compress to a higher ratio and at a faster rate than any other lossless codec available. Also, it's free, so have fun with it.
