Ffdshow - Nic´s decoder - different XviD encoding settings

[loni_blues]

Hi,
I installed Nic´s decoder for XviD, as my encodings with qpel looked terrible. I also uninstalled ffdshow because I did not know how to make Nic´s take over ffdshow. The problem with qpel decoding was fixed. I did a new encoding (with GKnot)and noticed that the following was added to the first and second pass settings´files:

"Brightness"=dword:00000019
"Deblock_H_Y"=dword:00000000
"Deblock_V_Y"=dword:00000000
"Deblock_H_C"=dword:00000000
"Deblock_V_C"=dword:00000000
"Dering_Y"=dword:00000000
"Dering_C"=dword:00000000
"Horiz_Threshold"=dword:00000014
"Vert_Threshold"=dword:00000028
"ForceColorspace"=dword:00000000

I thought Nic´s decoder only affected decoding, not encoding.

1- What does this "addendum" mean? Does it affect encoding? In that case, how?

2- How can I use Nic´s together with ffdshow, with Nic´s taking over for XviD decoding?

Thanks for any help,

Those registry keys only effect my dshow filter, they won't be used in encoding. So I don't why they'd be included, apart from that the keys are saved in the same place as the normal XviD keys and maybe all the keys are saved in the settings file. Does this cause a problem?

"addendum" Id have to know what context thats in to know what it means.

Go into ffdshow's properties and uncheck xvid as one of the decoding options. Then my filter will be used instead when decoding xvid.

Hope that helps :)

Thanks Nic, that was very helpful. Nothing seems to be the problem with the encoding so far. I was just astonished to find those settings as encoding settings (in the first and second pass settings files). But since both XviD keys are saved in the same place, that may be the right explanation. By "addendum" I meant the settings:

"Brightness"=dword:00000019
"Deblock_H_Y"=dword:00000000
"Deblock_V_Y"=dword:00000000
"Deblock_H_C"=dword:00000000
"Deblock_V_C"=dword:00000000
"Dering_Y"=dword:00000000
"Dering_C"=dword:00000000
"Horiz_Threshold"=dword:00000014
"Vert_Threshold"=dword:00000028
"ForceColorspace"=dword:00000000

because I found them "added" at the end of the settings file, after
"credits_begin"=dword:00000000

Thanks again,
