Hi,

I have encountered a pretty serious bug with AVI_IO while doing some side by side comparisons with VirtualDub. It seems that it can not properly compress source files into Divx3 and 4. Instead of using the video bitrate you chose when doing a divx compress, it seems to default to a lower bitrate setting.

This has happened to me with both divx 3 and 4 with both real-time divx compression as well as 2-pass. I emailed the author and he said that he is aware of the problem but has no idea when an update will be released, if any.


For other AVIO_IO users, have you noticed this as well? I primariy use this app to capture from the source video using Huffyuv or MJPEG since it gives me much less frame drops that other apps (ie. VDub). However, if it has problems with the divx codec, my concern is that it may also have problems with other codecs such as Huffyuv and MJPEG and not provide the best captures.

Has anyone run into capture problems with AVIO_IO and Huffyuv? I was about to register the software for the $25 fee but I'm hesitant now. Please add your input.

Thanks.

I capture with huffyuv and virtual dub, and don't have problems of dropped frames. I have the audio coming in as a PCM wav, and do all the conversions after the capture. I found that converting formats (audio or video) on the fly (during capture) can result in dropped frames...

btw, you might want this thread to be moved to the capture sub-forum. It might get moe attention there.
