I think there are enough "standards" already. Let's push one to achievecritical mass to one, and let it live long & prosper. I'd rather see DGAVDec become an "industrial-strength" tool than an "enthusiast-tweaking" tool. cheers a/v Last edited by audyovydeo; 26th September 2008 at 15:18. |

I don't think he's planning on exclusive mkv, just which one do we think he should tackle first. I gotta believe that the biggest majority of the userbase right now would rather see mkv. I can't speak for neuron2, but I strongly believe that the majority of his users would rather have mkv first.

LOL!! Man, I almost had a heart attack there for a second. It was pretty surprising. Don't get me wrong, I think what you did with DGAVCDecNV was entirely in your right, and I support your decision to do so. But, man, I would have been extremely surprised (and maybe a little angry) if you had done the same thing with DGAVCDec.
Putting that aside, thanks very much for the update!! And I cast my vote for MKV first. It is more versatile than MP4, and more widely used. I use it all of the time, yet I only use MP4 for special situations, mostly having to do with hardware compatibility. If you are eventually going to add both, that is great! But if it is only one, I vote MKV. Thanks, Don, for the great work you continue to do for the community! |

More so now, given that the muxing of AC3 and EAC3 streams within the MP4 container has been standardised.

I vote for MP4 or MOV. MKV files are usually stuff I've encoded and don't need to open with DGAVC, so...
Example for mp4 - nicovideo uploads and other such blahblah. Trailers and even video game trailers come in MOV often, so that would also prove useful. Quote:
Also, one thing that's would be awesome to have for both MP4 and MKV would be being able to tell when a video is VFR and the capability to extract it into MKV timecodes. Last edited by Comatose; 27th September 2008 at 02:45. |

I vote for MP4/MOV because demuxing of MKV files is easier imho. MP4 ist ISO too. MKV can come after that.
As comatose mentioned it, could it be possible if DGAVCIndex recognizes VFR in MKV files? |

MKV has won all polls I've seen by far, some examples:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=133342 http://www.planetdvb.net/node/378 DivX 7 wil use mkv which is likely to boost mkv's popularity even more.

A shame there is still almost no progress in PAFF decoding.
Though the improvements of dgavc itself are very nice. @ Stax Well....WHY would I use DivX7? I got x264!!! Won´t get much better! |

As I have said several times, there are regressions for random access. Things are apparently OK if you only want to play straight through. I have recently been in touch with Michael about it and sent him a sample. Let's see if something can be done so that the random access needed by DGAVCDec can be made to work correctly with the latest code. If it could work I would have done it long ago, and again, I have tried to work with him in the past about it, without much luck. Now he has written me and I responded with the sample and an explanation. That is where things stand right now. If you'd like to encourage him to help us, I'd be grateful.

If VFR could be supported, it will be better to be able to activate/deactivate it. Escpecially if mp4 supports VFR too. But honestly I've never seen any VFR.mp4 (but I didn't search for too) and I've no idea, if any SAP supports VFR at all. Dark Shikari said enough, but don't forget, DivX7 will support H.264 Decoding. If I'm not false, an Encoder will come too. It might not be as good as x264, but I'm neutral (with advantages for x264 ). |

Encoder is already out; its pretty much terrible; quality is comparable to x264 on fast-ish settings without AQ, and speed is worse than x264 by a wide margin. Of course, its just an alpha at this point, so one would expect it to get quite a bit better.
