DivX 5.01 ???

[antineff]

@doom9: Is that true, did you really compare with a version 5.01 of DivX?? On divx.com they provide only a 5.0, I guess. Or did they change the versions secretly?

[cofferscuffs]

Yes it's true, and you can't find it because it hasn't been realesed yet.

[Doom9]

quote from the article DivX5.01 (private test version)
private = you can't get it, test = it's not finished yet... the sum of that makes it a private beta

what was fixed in your 5.01?

[Doom9]

here's the changelog even though I think it's completely useles.. the build is not ready for release and there could be considerable changes until it's ready.. so what good does a changelog for a program you can't get?

You can manually play around with the psychovisual modeling with the command
line interface. All you have to do is enter in the following;

-psy 0.10,0.10

This determines the strength of the Psych. The first number adjusts each
frame at a "frame" level. The second number will then adjust everything on a
macroblock by macroblock basis. Light='s 0.2,0.2 , Normal ='s 0.3,0.3,
Strong ='s 0.4,0.4 . These setting are to strong with the changes. So I
will lower each one probably by 0.1. So Light would be 0.1,0.1.

Hi Doom9,

Btw, the changelog is now useful ;)
DivX 5.01 now is released for public.

[Doom9]

well.. sort of useful.. the full changelog is different. I'm encoding right now trying to find out if the bug I find in my latest comparison is still there..
