Divx5.01 wont encode/decode 60 fps?

[NSanity]

i was doing a test today, 24fps VS 60fps can you see the difference...

anywho... Divx5.01 wouldn't either decode or encode at 60fps... what gives? statistics just said 35.85 and bounced around there...

Xvid worked perfectly however..

Put the quality level at minimum and try again.

it was a single pass cbr encode... i didn't think i had a choice for quality?

or if you mean the encode quality (picture wise) that would be stupid i need as lossless as i could get as it was for comparing different framerates...

No put the decode quality on lowest as the reason its playing at 35 FPS (most likely one anyway) is your computer cannot keep up with decoding frames that fast.

did that.... absolutely no decoding filters were running...

on the otherhand, Xvid with FULL decoding filters could be run and no slow down was observed...

its an Athlon 1.2ghz with DDR ram... surely decoding 60 fps isn't that hard...

Think again. Some people with 1GHz processors have had trouble with normal 25fps when decoding DivX5 content. It's not surprising your 1.2GHz can't decode 60fps in realtime. Check your cpu usage and you'll most likely see it's around 100% during playback of DivX5, but quite a bit lower with XviD (the XviD decoder is more cpu-optimized than the DivX5 decoder).

try with the ffdshow filter instead of divx5 it seems to be faster.

With full-sized 50fps video, my T-Bird 1400@1500 with 512MB DDR-RAM (at 300MHz, CAS 2-2-2) almost chokes, even when I set the post-processing levels to minimum. It plays back 50fps, but the processor usage is at 80% constantly and sometimes jumps up to 100%
And this is with Divx 5.02, which is supposed to be a little faster on playback than Divx 5.01.

Why don't you use 5.02? It features a bunch of new playback options and it's bug-free!
