New DivX based on 8.0.0.4477 core, instead of 4.1.0.3917 core from DivX 3.11alpha

[bond]

no problems (until now)!

If you are skeptical about encoding with the "new" DivX3 Codec you can also just use the new Decoder

[Lutzifer]

i installed the package on my win98se pc and it seriously fucked up my system. I cant playback anything anymore. If i uninstall all the other codecs i can watch divx3 but i cannot get divx5 working again.... :(
how can i uninstall this codec package safely and get everything back to normal?

EDIT: It seems i cannot even play xvids anymore... ...and when i install the older divx3.11alpha codec over i cannot even play divx3 movz anymore :rolleyes:
I only have wmp6.4 installed. Do i need newer wmplayers like 8 or 9 to get this to work again???

EDIT 2: I fixed it. Uninstalled the codecs via the regsrv32 for the n-th time but now i reinstalled dx9, all other videocodecs and my video card drivers (dunno which one did it)...

I'm not sure how to so i'm asking.
Is there a way to make the default microsoft mpeg-4 decoder to decompress files encoded with this DivX8.0.0.4477?

to decompress files encoded with this DivX8.0.0.4477? DivX8.0.0.4477 is the decoder not the encoder!

There is any mirror for Maia? :(

this (http://www.geocities.com/xkodi/) link still works...

DKDIB,
what does "arimicio" mean :confused:

[DKDIB]

It' s an Italian-Japanese words joke: it means "thank you". ;)

Because due to priority patch of filters in MAIA pack DivXAF is not loaded properly, so I apply priority patch also to DivXAF filter. You can download DivXAF_v0.4_for_MAIA_pack_v1.0.rar.zip from http://www.geocities.com/xkodi/

@xkodi

Thanks for the pack. I notice that since Microsoft fixed the vertical flip bug from v7, when used in conjonction with VSFilter/DVobSub, the picture is upside down. I gave the info to Gabest, and I think he will be fixing it in the next VSFilter version.

One problem I have though, is since the merit is raised to bypass the DivX 5 filter, the DivXG400 is excluded from the graph. Would it be possible to patch DivXG400 the same way you did DivXAF. Actually a better way to do it would be to ask PRR - the author of DivXAF and DivXG400 - to modify both filters. He's a very nice chap.

I actually made an installer for this thing when I heard about it, but I lost the executable due to a virus (well, the executable isn't lost but after virus+patching the checksum doesn't match and thus the installer won't load). I'll see if I have a backup somewhere, since people still seem to be interested in this MAIA thing. (I can't make new installers right now because of a strange OS incompatibility)
Edit: hmm, the "OS incompatibility" vanished with the wind :D. Find the installer at http://mf.creations.nl/DivX311b.exe.
It's compressed to the max, and I find 290KB pretty reasonable :).

@arman68

currently i use DivXG400 v2.83, it originally has merit 00900000, which is equal to DivX_c32.ax merit form MAIA pack and DivXG400.ax loads correctly after DivX_c32.ax, so there are no problems with DivXG400 (at least with v2.83).

Thanx for the pack xkodi I recently encoded "Angle Season Two" with it & am very happy with the results.

Are you sure?
I am also using v2.83, and if I remember correctly the merit was set to 00600000. I had to change it manually to 00900001 (same as your modified codecs) to include it in the graph.

I also talked to PRR and he said he did not want to take part in the "merit race"

[xkodi]

if you use hex editor and go to offset 2BA48 in DivXG400.ax(v 2.83) you will see: 00 00 90 00, which is merit 00900000, so I am sure. if you change that value to 01 00 90 00, you will get merit 00900001.(register filter after patch to get right merit)

[arman68]

@xkodi: thanks for the patch info.

The latest version of VSFilter 2.32 fixes the vertical flip :)

[xkodi]

arman68, thank you for informing Gabest about the problem. I am glad to hear that the vertical flip problem with VSFilter/DVobSub is gone. Also thank you Gabest for your fast response.

[LordofStars]

Stupid question. I know that previously the combination of choice was sbc + 3.11a.

How does this new version work with sbc?

NM I RTFM and answered it for myself. It seems to work perfectly with nandub.
