Two questions:
First:
VHQ does some motion vector search, okay.
But what about the "normal" setting for ME precision? Is that related somehow, is there any influence, or does the setting for conventional ME not apply at all when VHQ is activated? Or works VHQ as a kind of pre-calculator for the normal ME?
Call me dumb, but this is not clear to me from syskin's explanation above ...
Second:
I noticed that when encoding a 3000frames-sequence with VHQ=4, final size ~ 30'000 kB, window's explorer showed me a filesize > 200'000 kB (!) during encoding.
How big may the file get during conversion? Could be of importance in low diskspace scenarios ...
Apart from that: hat off again, XviD team!!!

P.S.
"nth pass encoding" , huhuhuuu
good joke, really ...
