Divx 5.1 command line settings...

[fedge]

ive noticed one thing about the new divx...

the -pq (performance/quality) setting is different now...

STANDARD = -pq 5

SLOW = -pq 64??

SLOWEST = -pq 192??


can i just set my -pq to like... 30 and get a "little" better results without SO MUCH slowdown in encoding speed???

Im going to do some 300 frame tests of this and see what happens.. not sure ill get a noticible difference visually... but i want to see if i can adjust the setting myself...

i have found nothing on the divx website to suggest this

64? 192? Suspiciously binary numbers.


bool do_slow_things = pq & 64;
bool do_slower_things = pq & 128;

In which case, setting an intermediate number (e.g. 30) would not have the effect you're looking for.

yah i figured that out.. i tried 30, 48, and even 63.. with no differece in encoding speed.. but as soon as i hit 64.. then wham to encoder slowed WAY down..



I was hoping that a slight improvement could be made.. but this is to no avail ...
