[Nibor]

Glad to be the first ;)...

Thank you, Koepi and all the others! :)

* goes downloading the binary before Koepi's site breaks down because of all the traffic it must have * ;)

[RexManning]

Hey Koepi, why did you close Nibor's and my thread? ;-)

Anyway, thanks a bunch for XviD. I swear to god, if I wasn't such a poor student, I would donate all my money to the XviD developers :-)

Go XviD! Yeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! :-D

[virus]

thx Koepi! :)

if/when you happen to talk to the other devteam guys via IRC/email, make sure to thank them _a lot_ for what they have done for us. XviD is simply the best video codec available.

[EDIT] and to celebrate the first true stable release of XviD (yeah... 1.0.0 is not "just a number"), here's a thread (http://forums.projectmayo.com/viewtopic.php?topic=2502&forum=3) which I think can be considered as the "act of birth" of this excellent project. That was almost 3 years ago...

cheers :)

virus:

hmpf. though i don't code in core, i still am a developer too, i code mostly gui stuff in xvid though :(

I'm sure most developers take a peak in here and see that for themselfes, but when i'm on irc again i'll mention that, sure.

Regards
Koepi

[SiXXGuNNZ]

Awesome, congrats to all involved in the making of XviD. XviD has hit a milestone! Be proud of yourselves.

Edit: typo

[gatormac]

Thanks to the whole dev team, especially the DOOM9ers Koepi and Syskin for holding our collective hands through it all. Congrats!

[gircobain]

Thanks all XviD team!

I'm going to give it a try right now :D

[rc55]

I must say, this is truely just PURE FUNK!!!

The paramount of quality... such dedication, growing in your soul!

EPIC XVID!!
CONQUER ALL
EVERLASTING
UNSTOPPABLE

Verily! I pass thine woot to yuo all!

Bonkers,

Ruairi

P.S. The LEGEND is YOU.

Thanks you guys from the development group for the quick release of the codec (i thought it would be released on July or even later...)

I have a question.... why has "deringing" been deleted from the postprocessing options in the decoder? I think it was a great improvement to the final quality of the video. Only was an opinion.

And last, but not least, i have a doubt since i begun coding with Xvid; whenever i code a movie from a DVD, despite of the bitrate i use to encode, i always get distortioned border in blue and red surfaces. I attach here a sample where you can see what i say; see carefully the horizontal lines that appear as you approach the border of the suit. http://magno.nekein.com/simpson.jpg
I thought it was codec fault, but it seems that it has nothing to do with the version... BTW, i encoded the same video using DivX, with the same filters, the same resolution and the same bitrate, and i got smoothed and good-looking borders ;)

[Pen-Pen]

greeaaat !!!

and it looks like it's slightly faster :)

thx a lot to all the XViD team, you guys do a terrific job !

[Tuning]

Thanks XviD developement team,

Greetings!! for the 1.0 series.:D :)

[Morbo]

Nice job XVID!

Cheers!

[ummon]

Thanks to the entire XviD Team. :)

[pitiwat]

Thanks, Long time waiting for.:)

[unmei]

yes, many Many thanks to all involved people. Not only for this "milestone" 1.0, i think it's a good time to thank you for all the work done on Xvid so far. I really love this codec and i don't want to imagine what codec i would use if it did not exist.

[gldblade]

Sweet, XviD and Doom9 made Slashdot :P

I know everyone was saying how the 1.0 release wouldn't be all that important, but the fact that XviD just made Slashdot means that everyone knows about it now :)

*EDIT*
Oh yeah, how could I forget! Congratulations XviD team, you've done a wonderful job :) Been supporting you ever since the start, can't believe how far things have come.

It has to do with the decoder, not the encoder. All MPEG-4 video is stored internally as YV12 (DivX, XviD, whatever). If you change the FourCC of the XVID file to DX50 to let the DivX.com decoder handle it, you will get those 'smoothed' borders that you like.

It shouldn't matter if you use a YUV overlay, though.

[SoonUDie]

Awesome job, guys. The only place you can go from here is up :D

@Magno
That looks like you're not getting properly upsampled chroma. If you have an nVidia video card, that could be the problem.

[gldblade]

Hm, on the other hand the /.ing caused XviD.org to be hacked. Thats not so cool.

[phrentec]

Xvid 1.0 nice work.


maganoo: you couldn't have bought that up before the 1.0 release? well there is probably a work around.

Another defacement by brazilian hackers.

We rock - in the worst possible aspects :(

You are just gonna have to work harder to make up for them Roberto. Hows the ABX coming?

They just were not 1337 enough to hack the RIAA, MPAA, or Microsoft. So they picked a newb grade target to make totall asses of themselves. Thank goodness most brazillians are not as dumb as they are. I mean if you are going to hack you could at least do something worthwhile with it. White hat, black hat. They ain't either. Dunce hat is more there speed.

Anyhow every country has mentaly deficient people. Nothing to see here folks move along.

[Yuuhi]

Tnx a LOT, XviD Devel team!

[bond]

yeah, this is what i have waited for :)
thanks to all the devs who made this possible in their freetime! :o

xvid simply is the best codec :D

bond fires up the encoding machine

[BoNz1]

Thanks XviD team, you guys rock. As if you don't know it already :).

[puschpull]

Thank Koepi And All XviD Development Team !
:)

[stargazer]

Wow!
Thanks to Koepi and to all Xvid developers! It was a long journey :)

Mpeg-4 backup is a litlle bit neglected these days, due to cheap DVD-RW's, but there are lots of people who know to respect the effort, hard work and great results. Especially in this no-money business... ;)

Keep up the good work!

[Teegedeck]

Hello Koepi,

thanks for your contribution to XviD and XviD's user-support!

And to every XviD-developer who might read this thread: Thank you very much; not for 1.0.0, but for the whole project and all your time and work you've invested into it! It is loved by many, many people, as this thread once again shows. Please take a breath, celebrate, look back and be proud of yourself.

@my fellow moderators: Perhaps this would be a good point in time to introduce a new kind of sticky: A 'hall of fame' with every active developer's name in it, as well as a longer list with everyone on it who ever contributed a piece of code. Perhaps a bit daft, but I'd like to have a shrine here... :)

[iago]

Terrific! Thanks Koepi :) and all XviD team!

[athos]

Great news, thanks to the developers for their hard work!

[maciek_m]

Thanks for your gift,

Have a vacation. You deserve it!

[tiki4]

Thanks to the dev team for the final 1.0 build. Now I'm really anxious to see what comes next. I guess 1.1 alpha will be next :D

Great job, thanks for all the effort the xvid team has put in :)

[McoreD]

Well done guys. Glad to see it is the Final! :)

[SeeMoreDigital]

Great stuff - Just what the digital doctor ordered!


Thanks guys

[xixi2000]

goooooooooood~~~!!!

[yan00s]

Well, this is really a good reason for a first post to the forum. :)

Thanks a lot to the XviD team and all of you who made it possible to have such a great codec around.

Fantastic work. Indeed.

My next beer will be on XviD 1.0.0 ;)

Greetings,
yan00s

[Heini011]

a little question to this point:

"Minor fixes for trellis quantization"

does this mean quality improvement or a fix for possible compatibility issues ??

would it be wise to reencode some rc4 encodings and can i use the 1-pass .pass file for that purpose ?



@xvid-devs: thanks a lot for your great work!!

greetings, Heini011.

[Solo]

Great news Koepi ... keep up the excellent work :thanks:

[Lord_KiRon]

Great job !

Hope it's not "finally over" :devil:

Now we going to see a new cool stuff added ? (in v.1x ):p

[dp_sun]

Excellent news! Thanks for the best codec! :)

[albertgasset]

Great work! Thanks to all the Xvid team for the effort put in this excellent mpeg-4 codec and your contribution to free software.

Thanks again.
