Damn, somehow my win\sys32\xvid_ax is blocked, can't overwrite and test it :-/

But tomorrow morning *caugh* after the encoding run i should be able to test...
Thanks nic for the great work once more :)
Do you submit that to CVS? (pretty please!)

@koepi: first of all I hope you're not offended by the new mod status.. I got forced into this ;)

I've also had this problem recently.. vobsub and ogg filters would get locked and I had to boot into the recovery console to get rid of the files.. dunno why this happesn. I recall overwriting DivX4 dlls and filters without any problems.. so if you find a working solution please let me know.

LoL... :)

Ill have to consult with someone whether to put it into CVS (who should I talk to? Suxen_drole?), I have to use image.c commands & im not sure if they'll like that being included in the DShow (Or though I cant see any way of getting the frame otherwise) (but means adding two lines in image.h)
(-h maybe I should put it past you first?)

Not bad though is it :)

Cheers,

ps
Can I also say, adding PostProcessing from DivX4a50 will be everso easy :) (easier than adding the brightness!)

[rui]

Any hopes for a post processing anytime soon?
It would be very usefull for 1 cd encondings, and since the divx4 guys don't seem very interested in fixing the MPEG decoder bug...

P.S. I just read your last post, Nic. That is great news :)

[Nic]

How about Monday? :)

Well maybe thats optimistic, but seeing that even though the xvid code is written from scratch, the API is everso similar to DivX4a50 & therefore I can just attach the code.

If I were DivXNetworks....Im not sure if i'd want to fix the bug right now....its one of the main things holding XVID back from being even more popular.

Wise words... It makes one think...

Hey hey. How big a mod is it?

gruel is looking at a number of mods: merging image.c / image.h with common.c / common.h, replacing the XVID_ENC_PARAM / DEC_PARAM with a more modular flags design, etc. Whatever the mod is (I haven't downloaded it yet!), it'll probably need updating by next week :)

[Nic]

Its a tiny mod really.....

Well ill wait till next week then.

I dont agree with what Gruel is doing though, image functions have a very definite puropose & should be kept seperate from the common files.
(however, both encoder & decoder need the colorspace conversion, but that doesn't mean he should merge the files)

(changing the encoder & decoder struct types doesn't make much sense either to me....surely a flags system just overcomplicates things )

Have you guys looked at "dscaler" to see how they handle drawing to overlay surfaces? They are also extremely configurable.

[Nic]

Good thinking....PM'ing Tom now.

AviFile was never helpful when it comes to coding to me.
I tried to add normal file support to the ASX parser but that didn't work out, whatever I did.
The code is a little - well - messy.


Lol, and you don't understand why he VBRControl.cpp from the DivX4 codec is strange ?

@Nic: great that you found something, because AViFile was the only interesting thing I've found...


But you guys should watch out. One of this days Microsoft is going to read this forums, and probably will try to hire you :D


It's like going to hell :p
