Have you ever made experiences with the libavcodec???

Have u???

libavcodec or short lavc is another Open Source MPEG4 compliant video codec which is superior in performance and quality to DivX 5 and even to XviD. This codec suppports b-frames. It is part of the ffmpeg project.


SOUNDS GREAT!!!!!!


P.S It's for Linux

I don't believe that it supports encoding of B-frames, nor that its quality is that good. The last time I checked (around 1 month ago) it was far behind XviD in terms of fixed-quantizer performance, by as much as 50% larger files.

But who knows..

If you want to try it out without having to compile ffmpeg yourself, milan adapted XviD's vfw frontend to use libavcodec for the video compression - you can try it out from http://cutka.szm.sk/ffvfw/ffvfw.html . No idea how recent the libavcodec code is that he's compiled it with though.
