DivX Pro Codec - Fusion Beta Release

[LordRPI]

In the last month and a half since the last alpha release of the DivX Plasma codec, the DivX team has been working long hours in ironing out the alpha-ness and are pleased to officially announce that Fusion has begun. The DivX Pro Fusion (IntertialConfinement) codec marks the first beta release in the series and fixes many of the previous issues reported with Plasma.

Check out the full announcement at DivX Labs for the beta download and be sure to leave your feedback in the newly-revamped Beta Release Forum

.. and this time it actually works! I encoded over four hours of content with this build last night

I recommend you avoid the Psychovis right now, we're looking into a small problem there. Aside from that, jump right in and keep us posted of your results.

Problems with GMC:

My little test:


1)original
2)XVID_2pass@1750-1B-mot.search:6-VHQ:4-trellisON-GMC-MPEG
3)XVID_2pass@1750-1B-mot.search:6-VHQ:4-trellisON-GMC-h263
4)DivxFUSION_2pass(better-insane)@1750Kbps-1B-h263opt.-psvOFF
5)NeroAVC_2pass@1750kbps-1B-deblock:-2-psvOFF-other options ON

I think the problem with GMC might be this: -



What do some of you guys think?

Thanks nicco, I'll log that one so someone can look at it.

Can you tell me a little more about the frequency? Do you see this immediately on turning on GMC, is it rare? Does it only happen on keyframes?

Also: Is this the DivX decoder or a third-party decoder? Does it happen with both?

I've tried your GMC encodes with DivX, NeroDigital, XviD, FFDshow filters and VLC player... And they are all b0rked I'm afraid

All players/filters tested after having generated encodes in 1pass and 2pass mode. With or without B-VOP and using all current speed modes!

Thanks SeeMoreDigital, much appreciated!

I made some comparison to and AVC (in Nero Digital) encoder clearly won. There are a big differents espacialy in very motion scenes.I noticed that divx6 has better quality in static scene and keeps more detail than divx5. I didn't have any problems with stability.

SMD already answered for me
I have 2 new question:
1-In Vdub under codec list I have Divx Fusion (working) and Divx Fusion YV12 (not working), what is the lat one?
2-I can not access at decoder config. dialog

It's a pass-through for YV12 video. It was there before, you just didn't see it in the compressors list.

2-I can not access at decoder config. dialog

It's not there in this beta, we hope to have a new beta with this soon. For now the decoder is doing full deblocking, no deringing.

I've also looked at this AVC codec. It's nice, but 3.5-4x slower than DivX at encoding HD content, requires a better CPU for playback, and won't work on DivX Certified devices (and probably not many other devices for some time). I think that this is a little off-topic for this particular thread though

I noticed that divx6 has better quality in static scene and keeps more detail than divx5. I didn't have any problems with stability.

It has substantially better quality than DivX 5 (we're currently seeing roughly 20-40% improvement depending on bitrate and we're still in development).

In a few months...

"Sigma Designs' SMP860 series supports AVC, WMV9, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 at 1920x1080 30p"

Will have a fight (a fair one!) in the standalone MPEG4 ASP & AVC zone .

Chips vs devices on the market in volume are two different things.

Take it to a new thread now please, this thread is for the Fusion beta

[dragongodz]

is the settings button back working in the standard vfw window with this release ? not everyone uses or tests on virtualdub.

[Subwars]

hey guys i've just downloaded the new fusion beta and was going thru all the settings but i can't see any check for saving log file for multipass is this just done automaticly now or is it not doing it at all and just wasting any pass after 2???

Yes, it should be working. If it isn't, please list the specific application and version of the application you are experiencing problems with.

The log is now written to the working folder specified in the Settings window/on the CLI.

[Subwars]

ok i've never really played with them settings before just left them as there defaults i'm looking at it now i can see in the manual cli (-bvn1 3000000 -vbv 9708400,6291456,4718592 -b 1 -nf -profile=4) i can't see anything that to me would mean to write and update logs but i'm just guessing that a couple of them are like -b 1 i'm guessing it's the b frames set to on ect but i'm not 100% sure

what is it that doing the logs in there or what string am i having to add in there for it to??

allso if it counts to anything i'm using gk 33.1

[DigitAl56K]

Default working directory is C:\DivX and will not appear on the CLI.

If you change the working directory in the settings window the new working directory will appear on the CLI as:

-dir <path>

There is a known-issue in this beta that if you enter an invalid path and begin encoding the encoder will crash, so be careful! It is best to use the "Browse" button on the Settings window for this reason.

[Subwars]

fair enough thats showing that the working folder is changed but not saying if the log files are being updated or not inbetween pass's
