XviD and DivX Questions

[gnr]

Hi all.
the new xvid 1.0 rc4 is faster than the xvid (xvid koepi 24062003-1) which comes with the gknot codec pack. and i think somehow the quality decreased too (correct me if i m wrong). i use gknot with vdubmod for encoding. updated gknot to 28.8 for xvid 1.0rc4 but i didnt get the quality as i expected. i followed the guide .... sometimes i get undersized avi. So which xvid version u use and recommend?

I preffer xvid, it better and gives sharp output. But after using new xvid i gave a shot to divx. 1st pass standard and 2nd (last) pass slowest. do u think 1st pass in slowest mood will increase the quality a little bit or theses no such thing.

I dont use qpel and turbo. do u recommand qpel for the new xvid1.0? and whats the recommended resize filter of gknot for 1cd rip. I m not worried about the encoding duration, i m worried about the quality.

I registered here long time ago, but somewhere in this forum i read not to post a topic without searching, sometimes it helped but i didnt know that forum members dont like to answer questions all the time may be a reason. 47 views but no reply, but thanks anyway.

Actually I suspect the high reads and no response is probably because your header is pretty vague. People are having a look to see what you want, not coz they might be able to help!

Pyscrow has a good point, your title needs some work but you can fix this using the "Edit" button, try formulating a concise title and see if that doesn't stir up some interest. Your post also contains a more detailed request for information on XviD and GKnot than we normally see in Newbies, if you don't receive some help soon, we'll move it to a more appropriate forum.

Thanks for the reply Pyscrow and ammck55. you are right, changed the topic's name. i posted the topic here because i didnt find any better suitable place for my questions. i could post the questions separately at divx, xvid, gknot forum but i thought this would be better.

Hi-

correct me if i m wrong

OK, you're wrong.

So which xvid version u use and recommend?

XviD 1.0 RC4.

do u think 1st pass in slowest mood will increase the quality a little bit...

No.

do u recommand qpel for the new xvid1.0?

I don't use it because my standalone doesn't support it, but those that do use it say it makes for a sharper, more detailed picture.
