These patent wars are dissapointing. The people on this forum most certainly can design a codec that outperforms even the hype of the commercial products. Apple, Sorenson, Adobe, etc. win in marketing and legal muscle. x264 wins in actually having a great product.

You must explicitly run the command prompt as administrator when using regsvr32 on Vista/7.

I see the comments on how it compares to X264 but I was wondering on how it compares to XviD. I am not really an expert in video but to me XviD@Q=3 is approx equal the quality of X264@Q=22 (single pass of course); but the XviD video filesize is appox 25-35% larger.
So if VP8 video quality equals X264@Q=22 for 10-20% larger filesize I could live with that. I guess all the decoder boxes out there (Popcornhour, WD TV Live, Seagate Theater, etc) will never play VP8; right? |

There's a "libvpx 0.9.0 visual studio build" here with Windows binaries.
Example encoding parameters are on their website. I think VP8 is not all too bad on medium and high bitrates. The crew_4cif test sample on low bitrates shows some problems after the flashes, quality drops really down, but that should be fixable with some encoder improvements I hope.

@Emp3r0r
A thread title starting with 'WebM' might be better.

The filter is 32-bit so it will obviously not work in MPC x64. It will also not work in Media Center on Vista/7 x64.

Before adding WebM support I have to finish revising the complete UI adding high DPI support.

My initial (non-)impressions about VP8 :
at the moment, NOT supported outside of the WebM «sub-container» Until Google, or someone else, releases a real CLI encoder/muxer, a stable DirectShow decoder, and (seriously!) a VfW .DLL, I will keep having very-little curiosity about it. P.S.: I did give a try to "ivfenc.exe". What the heck, it's infinitely slower than the VC-1 DMO encoder. Completely unusable for "obsolete" rigs like mine.

Make no mistake though ... he linked it because it gives his earlier patent arguments a sheen of respectability from an independent source.
Shame that that part of it was entirely build on assumptions (not a patent number to be spotted). |

I couldn't get the DirectShow encoder to work (crashed with assertion failed) and the command line tools are creating raw streams only that nothing can mux. What a pity, what a bad start for a new standard (?). |
