Hey everyone, im kinda new to this forum.
I have a question which has probably been asked million times before but Id like to know which build makes the best quality picture. I dont care much for the speed, quality is the highest priority to me.
:)
Consider the newest build of each of them.
If i had time to analyze every frame of a movie id try to find out my self but since im always busy... im really sorry if it has been asked before.
Thank you

The different binaries are just different compilations of the same sourcecode...
The only differences that may be there are optimizations for certain computer-models, but quality-wise there is absolutely no difference...
I think the people stick normally with the binary they used first, I personally use Koepis...
Just make sure you use an actual build, and you should be fine, regardless of the build you use...

They're just different builds of the same codec, the important differences are:

a) Nic's build features a DirectShow filter of Nic's own.
b) Koepi's Lumi-Masking is based on ReferenceDivX' code, unlike the other builds

The quality must basically the same, since I believe the too_small_limit in the CVS (uManiac's InstaBuilds) now is the same as in the other builds.

Thread closed, unless some other mod can correct me on something. In that case, please re-open the thread.
