I could find about this option nowhere!

I need to know if possible what exactly Reaction Delay Factor in the debug tab is! ? and what can be achived with it?
Would also like to know about "avreging period" and "Smoother"

I did a big search on the forum but nothing on this!

Try the help file which should ship with every xvid binary.

Yep I just saw that. It gives me almost same info as if I just hold my mouse pointer on that option in the codec setting tab.

I guess its due to my poor english and also probably to my low level of knowledg that I still don't understant it correctly though! :)

I just wonder, would I get any impouvment in quality if I set the "Reaction Delay Factor " to higher level or to lower!?

It says itself: "this has the strongest influence on quality" !


Now to my great regret, there are not lot or almost any topics about capturing directly to Xvid! Almsot eveyone uses this codec to encode exsisting non compressed files.

I certainly know that to achive best result this is the way to go!
But the quality achived for me by capturing directly with this codec is simply amzing! Also compared to other codecs the image is amazingly sharper and the codec is the less CPU demanding one.
I do even my most high motion captures @768X576 using the motion search precision at 5 and never get 1 frame dropped and cpu load is never more then 80% !

I have subscribtion to many movie channels from digital satellite and yes I am a movie freek! I watch about 2 or 3 a day and this dose not really gives me time to capture them all to mjpeg etc and then encode.

With the settings I use I make damn good looking 2 cd movies and burn the ones I like (or after I convert to 1 cd) and delete the ones that were not that great!

Thats why I am very interested in finding best capture settings.
If a movie is to be deleted after beeing seen then why not benefit from best possible quality and if its to be recompressed then again it better have good enough quality too.


Hehe now you probably gonna ask why telling all this and what has it to do with "Reaction Delay Factor "!
Well maybe nothing and maybe that setting could improuve my captures.
But I wanted to also get your attention on direct xvid capturing and say that it looks damn good and at the same time thank all the people involved in xvid devlopment for there great job.
