Just wanting to know what everyone else thought about 3vix D-4? It is not gonna replace Divx or Xvid any time soon. But compared to MSMPEG4 it has some promise.

No 2-pass and datarate in Bytes rather than bits will give handicaps all round. But it is a major improvement over past 3vix versions.

last time I tested 3ivx (not 3vix) was at the time of DivX4alpha50. The old version doesn´t offer good quality, but it worked. I can´t get th new one working. Always get an error-message in quicktime.
Do you know if 3ivx is MPEG-4 comaptible?

I tried 3vix D-4 and it works, but the bitrate options are currently limited and not very accurate in my testing sad.gif

--------------------
Use the Matroska file format

I dont like it at all ...

Why ? Well, it seems to be coming with a fully working MP4 container DShow parser, making it more attractive for people to pack their movies into MP4 container with MPEG4IP .... no good for our 'matroska' project ... biggrin.gif .... LOL !

Heh heh. 3ivx claims to be able to decompress XviD.


Guess again: http://mf.onthanet.com/3ivx

Was that encoded with the dev or stable branch? Methinks it decodes stable fine. Even ffdshow and Divx5 has some problems with Xvid dev.

well, "lavc.png" is the image decoded with ffdshow, which uses *SURPRISE* LibAVCodec, the decoding library of, *SURPRISE* FFMpeg.


So no problems there. And I don't see DivX5 as representative when it comes to decoding MPEG4.


About the dev/stable: I think it was dev, but you should ask anrp for confirmation on that.

for me it slows down access of all my AVI's, I'm guessing it's trying to guess at the format of whatever AVI is loaded, on it's own, seperately from DShow, whether it's 3ivx or not. either way, it slows everything down for me, so I don't like it right now.
