DivX 5.0.5 is released

[Gej]

DivX 5.0.5 is released; it mainly fixes some applications compatibility issue (DVD2AVI, AVIUtl and some capture application)

"Fixed: A bug that would cause the codec to encode every frame as an I-Frame when used with certain applications (e.g., AVIUtil, DVD2AVI, and some video capture applications)."

I have never heard of this problem. Has anyone else?

I can't believe they released a version this quick after 5.0.4

What's new in version 5.0.4
---------------------------
DivX Codec 5.0.4:

What’s Fixed:

* K6-2 CPU related crash resolved.
* Not able to change Bitrate Modulation through CLI field.
* Cosmetic bug when cropping more than 1000 pixels.
* Cosmetic bug when resize settings are invalid.
* During 1pass quality-based, Quantizer can now be set to 1 with CLI
* Multiple error windows no longer open upon entering wrong bitrate modulation option.
* 'Max Keyframe Interval' no longer accepts negative values
* Multiple error windows no longer open upon entering wrong CLI option.
* In the Quick Config CLI field, 'Enable Resize' was taking invalid options
* Remove -b in the Quick Config CLI field, 'Use Bidirectional Encoding' option was not
getting deselected.
* Fixed CLI inconsistencies when “Restore codec’s default” is pressed.
* Max bitrate and encoding bit rate(average) was displayed same.
* Fixed hitting tab in the CLI field to enable 'Use Bidirectional Encoding'
* Fixed 'Pre Processing Source' Cosmetic bug
* Fixed: remove -w in the Quick Config CLI field, 'Update Log file' option is not getting
deselected.
* Fixed: When 'Psychovisual Enhancements' value is set to 4, in the Quick Config CLI field,
mismatch in slider and label options.
* Various cosmetic fixes in the Encoder GUI
* “Do not prompt Error” unchecked as default fixed.
* Light Psychovisual enabled itself automatically when exiting the CLI field.
* Max bitrate reset itself to x10 the average when going in the “profile” tab
* MPEG4 “type Indicator” correctly set according to selected encoding parameters
* No more green first frame at very high bitrates.
* Crashes with K6-2 should be fixed now
* Decoder updates the display to the appropriate frame when seeking
* Decoder remembers the postprocessing settings
* Fixed some memory leaks related to Psychovisual and nth Pass mode
* Nth pass RC is tweaked to minimize the usage of high quantizer
* Nth pass doesn’t create an empty frames at the beginning of the clip
* Brightness/Saturation sliders now working correctly.
* Certain dark sequences would produce a long period of frames using a Quantizer of 31.
* Psychovisual Enhancement field sometimes displayed "Custom" instead of Light when
unselected
* "Do not prompt with errors and warnings" would select itself when random characters were
entered in the CLI after the "-key" option
* when "-d 3" option was entered in the CLI field, "Source interlace" became blank.
* Max bitrate would not update at times.
* DirectShow decoder postprocessing slider became disabled with ATI radeon 9700 Graphics card
* DirectShow decoder would "fast forward" when seeking backwards. This could cause synch
issues when re-encoding DivX Files using the DivX Decoder Filter.

What’s Changed:

* The new RC doesn’t use Q=1 frames anymore
* No stuffing used, bitrate can be too low in some extreme cases.
* Strategy planning for rate control is much faster now
* Better tracking of the planned RC strategy creating more consistent quality.

What's New:

* EKG!


Looks the same,xcept one fix......

Here's why (http://forums.divx.com/viewtopic.php?topic=48517&forum=13)

Since 5.0.4 is 5.0.5 with one fix,does that make 5.0.5
a MUST have to play 5.0.5 stuff(with all options,etc)..

I guess its just an "encode" update and various bug fixes.

Let the testing begin!!

**update**

If you use GMC and Bframes,you need to update....
But the tests are providing nice results:D

Although DivX 5.0.5 is the newest, but I'm afraid it's not the best one^_^, if you have this need trying another option is a wise idea.
