XviD 1.1 Final

[kalxas]

I just found out that XviD 1.1 Final was released few minutes ago...

Thank you guys!
Good job!

[peteag]

Is there any mac-version compiled? Thanx

[Isochroma]

You would not perchance be privy to where we could obtain such final release executables, would you?

[Buggle]

betanews/fileforum seems to have a build.
But I'm waiting for koepi to make one.

[peteag]

mac-version - please!

[WeaponX]

The build on betanews is not the executable. It is only for the source files you have to compile yourself.

[kalxas]

I don't have a binary yet...
I downloaded the source code at www.xvid.org
I am waiting for Koepi to provide us with one :)

Please Koepi... ;)

Well, with opening up this thread you destroyed the possibility for me to properly announce the availability of my build.

I couldn't test it toroughly, I just did a basic function test and it worked for me. I lost all my data on my old harddisk -- the installer is a basic one written from scratch. So it all took me a little longer than usually. I got surprised by the announcement of Isibaar as well but fortunately were around so I could compile a build. I hope you can live with a non-localized installer for now!


Changelog to XviD-1.1-Beta 2:

XviD-1.1.0-30122005:
- {core}: Field interlaced decoding.
- {dshow}: Additional fourcc support.
- {vfw}: Small updates.


Find it as usual at: http://www.koepi.org/

Please test it and report success here! :) Thanks to everyone working on xvid for this final 1.1-release!

Cheers
Koepi

[Isochroma]

Many thanks from all! So I guess XviD development is finally done... wonder where the devs will show up next...

[kalxas]

Thanks a lot Koepi for the build!

I am truly sorry about spoiling your anouncement... I just wanted to share the news with someone. Sorry! :(

Thanks again to the developers for their efforts!

[Koepi]

Many thanks from all! So I guess XviD development is finally done... wonder where the devs will show up next...

There is a 1.2-tree in the CVS where some development is already taking place...

kalxas: it's no problem! it's just a tiny glitch in the matrix...

Cheers

[nightrhyme]

Thanx so much. Great to see the IMHO Best codec ever alive and kicking :cool:

Could somebody be so kind and tell me which build contain most recent code.

The 1.1 Final or the Multithreaded build discussed here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=104257

Sorry if this is obvious to everybody else. But I'm having a hard time finding my way through the different builds :rolleyes:

same here

whats the most recent version?

1.1.0 beta2 or 1.1 final?

by the dates its 1.1 final but shouldnt the version after 1.1.0 beta2 be called 1.2?

Ricardo

[smok3]

this must have a connection with xvid avc?

[Teegedeck]

@ricardo.santos: alpha --> beta --> final

@smok3: no, why should it?

is it possible to compile a mac-version out of the source-code and if "YES", how?

[chilledoutuk]

if you want to encode using xvid on the mac then surely the best way is to use a mac compile of mencoder and run a simple script.

I think syskin mentioned that the new 1.2cvs has a better trellis quant.

Theres developement on multithreaded xvid
Theres development on 64bit xvid.

Now all we need is too add these two together and then we have superfast super quality xvid.

[peteag]

is this method compareable to xvid 1.1?

[krmathis]

is it possible to compile a mac-version out of the source-code and if "YES", how?
Open Terminal.app, then run the following commands:
* curl -O http://downloads.xvid.org/downloads/xvidcore-1.1.0.tar.bz2
* tar xjvf xvidcore-1.1.0.tar.bz2
* cd xvidcore-1.1.0/build/generic/
* ./configure
* make
* sudo make install

Afaik, that should be it!

[peteag]

got some errors - no gcc found! no acceptable c-compiler found. what to do? is it enough to download xcode 2.2 and then run the little script again. what will happen after compiling it?

[krmathis]

got some errors - no gcc found! no acceptable c-compiler found. what to do? is it enough to download xcode 2.2 and then run the little script again.You need GCC, or any other compatible c-compiler.
Download and install the latest Xcode (2.2), or install the one on your Mac OS X DVD (Mac OS 10.4 comes with Xcode 2.0).
what will happen after compiling it?The most obvious step after compiling would be to install it ("sudo make install").
I just compiled XviD myself, to check how its done, and did not complete the installation. So if you need information on how to use it, someone else have to come to the rescue...

[guada 2]

@Koepi
:thanks: for this build. :)

Bye.

[guada 2]

@koepi
Good work.

I made a small fast test. (2 pass)
The mode real time is really impressive.
better results with jawors 1CD matrix.

NOTE: I think that it would be interesting to work on this mode(stability and some artifacts persist).

To soon. ;)

Hello Koepi,

something is wrong with the installer...
After i uninstalled the latest version, because i was not satisfied with the name "(default)" in the start menu, all of my codecs, video and audio are gone :scared:
I hope, a repair installation will cure this.
Sorry, but that sux big time :angry:

[edit] 2 1/2 hrs and a repair install later the system works again... :mad:

[Koepi]

Sorry for the mess Uli, I truly am. I thank you for your bugreport though.

I fixed this with a new installer. As I wrote I had to rewrite the installer from scratch (thanks for all the people advising me to use the innosetup unpacker from sourceforge; it's too late now anyways ;) ).

I apologize for the mess. The new installer (8:30a.m. middle european time) doesn't kill all your codec entries on uninstall anymore. If you downloaded my build before, please download the new installer and just run it; this will overwrite the faulty uninstaller.

Regards
Koepi

[peteag]

I've build xvid with the recent commands (mac), nor errors. But what now? I can't export anything within quicktime. What I must do now with the compiled build? How to encode videos with the new xvid on my mac now?

[hajj_3]

does this 1.1 final has smp optimisation? on the doom9 2005 codec comparison the smp got a huge performance boost with an X2 dual core processor, is this the same but final?

keep up the great work, xvid rules, remember how bad it used to be before 1.0 green colours everywhere, 1.0 and 1.03 were great.

[Koepi]

If someone lost his codec-entries as well: I compiled a set of two registry-exports which will restore the entries. It works without modifications on a standard-installation of a german Windows XP. For other languages of Windows XP or different paths than standard you need to adopt some of the paths in the registry-files, just right-click them and choose "edit", you'll see where some files are referred to as being located in "C:\windows\system32" -- modify those lines to correspond to your installation.

[KoVaR]

I'll use this topic to make a tiny request
Whould it be possible to make decoder-only package with some installer ?
The one on Koepi's page is 2 years old
thanks :)

[Koepi]

hajj_3: if you read the codec comparison, you'll find the passage where Doom9 explains the speed boost on XviD and other vfw codecs. It's due to the multi-threaded virtualsub. XviD takes some more advantages in fast first-pass than in second pass from that.

Real SMP-support will be in XviD 1.2; there's some code already in CVS for it.

Cheers
Koepi

[hajj_3]

ah, cool, ETA on 1.2 final ROUGHLY? e.g 2-3months.

[Uli]

Sorry for the mess Uli, I truly am. I thank you for your bugreport though.No real damage taken, except some fiddeling with chipset drivers and graphics card after repair install and a lot of missing sleep :sly:
For a little compensation: http://www.mad.co.il/fun/movies/2005/04/I_cant_dance.wmv :cool:
Anyway, good work, thanks and a happy new year to everyone :)

[RK]

Any idea whether 1.1.0 final supports decoding DivX 3? 1.1.0 beta2 supports DivX 4/5 but won't decode anything with the fourcc code "div3", the standard code for DivX 3.

[hajj_3]

i would just install divx 6.1 too mate, you will then be able to play any divx and any xvid.

[Caroliano]

Divx 3 is not Mpeg4 compilant. For decoding FFDShow shoud be the best app out there, for almost every common codec.

[RK]

i would just install divx 6.1 too mate, you will then be able to play any divx and any xvid.
I already have both installed. I would prefer to get rid of DivX, if possible, as a lot of bloat has been introduced in 6.x (unnecessary proprietary container format...). I don't want to use ffdshow, as I have experienced numerous problems with it in the past (such as two instances of the codec running at the same time, or MPC crashing when certain options were selected) and it has next to no documentation. It also has no release cycle, so every new release potentially introduces new bugs.

[JnZ]

Well Mr. Anderson XviD 1.1 final is out. :)

It seems like this take long time: 1 year and 10 days? exactly from v1.0.3. Nice. :)

Thx.

[Digga]

thank you XviD development team!

[fight2win]

i,
have a dvd ripped on my hdd, ntsc 29.97, 1:56:24, lancos 688x368 resize, pls can anyone tell me what quantizer settings to use for good quality, 4 gave a 566 mb file!

[Teegedeck]

You
could make a very precise filesize prediction using Enc (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50714).

[Bear]

I use 2.9 or 3

[fight2win]

with single pass or 2 pass?

[JnZ]

with single pass or 2 pass?
Fixed quantizer mode can be used only for one-pass encoding.

[mic64]

Hi

Has anyone encoded a whole movie or show with 1.1?
I did the same source, same settings, same avs script.
And 1.1 is 40-50% slower then 1.1 Beta 2

Why?

mic

[iNFO-DVD]

Strange, I found it faster.

[Koepi]

I didn't repeat an encode I did with an older build before, but the speed of my test-encode felt alright here.

Cheers
Koepi

[Kopernikus]

There were reports about CPU specific optimizations that were not activated correctly. And IIRC the problem was not found.

Perhaps you can check SSE, MMX and Co manually and test if it afffects speed.

[bond]

anyone else having problems getting the exact filesize targeted?
set 27176KB in the target filesize and got 26101KB. till now xvid always hit the target correctly
