GMC/Q-pel feature

[Ryuushi]

Is there any way to tell when GMC has been used in the encoding of a file? I am trying to determine which encodes will and won't work in my divx player before burning them to disc.

yes, it's possible with mpeg4modifier.

Okay, I am guessing that is a program. Is it intuitive to use or do I have to be an advanced encoder? Any other alternatives?

It's pretty easy to use, just load the file and it tells you. gspot and mediainfo are a little more complete from an information perspective, but mpeg4modifier was designed exclusively for standalone compatibility.

I put the encode through gspot and didn't read anything about gmc/q-pel in there, though the encode does feature one or both. Maybe I read it wrong or didn't use it properly?

Mmm, not sure. gspot should light up with whatever oddities the file has. MediaInfo puts it all in a text report (when you use text or HTML mode) so it might be more clear there.

You can use Mpeg4Toolkit as well :-)

you can also know it with ffdshow's OSD: that's useful since MPEG-4 video can be in a .AVI/.MP4/.MKV file(and others).
Just configure ffdshow's OSD and activate it(start menu => ffdshow => ffdshow video configuration) open your video file with your usual Media Player and read the OSD output. ^^

It can tell also how much warp points the GMC is using(3 WP=XviD, 1 WP=DivX, and playable on compatible standalone players), encoder infos, input FourCC, current bitrate(not always very accurate though), and a lot of other things. ;-)
