New GUI Vs. Old GUI
I took a look to the new release
I'm not here to report any bug since I haven't enough tyime for testing at the moment, I'm studyin' hard... I just want to say that, in my opinion, the new GUI is a little bit complicated, and this may have the effect of discouraging many users, especially newbyes. I think that the old GUI interface was more logical (i mean the disposition...) and intituive than the new one. Especially the new profiles smells like divx, and that's not really good. i think that divx is really miles far (behind) xvid, so why imitate it? A famous spot in italy says don't himitate, just innovate! I think this should be xvid developer's anthem. Anyhow, this is not a bug , and the official release is far from coming, so there's enough time for you to make necessary changes to make the guy look better and more user friendly. Please, dont be angry with me, it's just my opinion. I'll carry on using xvid and suggesting it to my visitors, whatever will happen!!! Bye P.S. I forgot to say that somewhere in the GUI it is written "Global motion compenation" Last edited by Movie ManiacŪ; 5th December 2003 at 01:32. |

I had to quit GK and use VirtualDubMod directly to get it to work correctly. |

Any program that automated devapi3 xvid two pass encoding will not work without an update, mainly because some of the registry values are different now. Mainly the mode, before the 'mode' value could be 0-5, i think with 3 and 5 corresponding to the first and second pass, and now 1 and 2 correspond to the first and second pass modes. Therefore GK thinks it's in a different encoding mode than it is, so don't look to use any automated tools without an update to support devapi4. hth,

The most common bug I encountered is vdubmod crashing on the last frame maybe near it. It's already 99% and vsubnmod suddenly spews out an error. I'm not so sure what is it (I will post again if it happens again) but it's something related to thread.cpp? maybe not the exact filename but it should be near that.
jayel ps. more details or better yet a screenshot. |

The GUI can definitely use a good deal of streamlining and simplification. However, you're now being given a good deal more power and flexibility than with dev-api-3, so there's no possible way to make AS SIMPLE as the old GUI while still giving all these extra options. I think that the popup tooltips for every single object in the GUI needs to be crammed full of as much information and as many recommendations as possible. I like when the tooltips give you so much information that you don't even feel the need to consult any guides. |

sorry if i missed someone reporting this already. ead all the pages very quick.
1-pass with b-frames (1 or 2) on playback first frame shows "warning: noithing, bframe decoder la"(asume lag since its cut off) using xvid beta1 decoder(playback or loading in virtualdub). using divx 5.1.1 for decoding does not produce a message. |

I forgot to add the settings
2-pass with 2nd-pass target set to 273000. bframe (3/1.5/1 which I think is the default) lumamasking (or whatever they call it now) default quantization with trellis enabled cartoon mode ultra wide-search h.243 1st pass works flawlessly. it's the 2nd pass that has given me fits and it happens all the time for that particular vob and other vobs (encoding an anime). It doesn't have any problems with the encodes. I don't think it's the vob that is the problem cause it was encoded previously using 17-july-2003 Nic's xvid. I'll provide a screenshot. |

Corrupt 1st pass logfile
Hi,
when I use xvid-1.0 beta with mencoder, near the end of the first pass the logfile gets corrupted: it gets almost totally filled with \x0. The same happened with xvid-api3 Is it a known bug? Thanks. |

you just need to run make install in xvidcore/build/generic
and verify if you have xvid.h in /usr/local/include and libxvidcore.{a|so} in /usr/local/lib. when you run configure in mplayer source tree verify if xvid is in the list of enabled codec, if not configure.log will explain why. |
