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

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 :)

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 ;)

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 :)

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.

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.

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... :)
Terrific! Thanks Koepi :) and all XviD team!

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!!

17th May 2004, 12:13
Heini011:
the trellis fix should result in a nearly unnoticable quality gain (very seldom, the "comparison value" for the block mode decision was uninitialised). If you'd ask me if it's worth all the energy wasted, time spent on another 2nd pass I'd opt for: keep your encoding and encode something new :-)

I am not saying that developing codec for money is a bad thing.It is. Before DIVX was developed for money, it wasn't bad. But divx5 got more and more b0rked. Here, i couldn't even use the spyware version because the spyware is too dumb to run through the university firewall.
With xvid being free, the developers use their time to fix b0rks instead of announcing release dates and pushing out crappy stuff (remember the first release of Nero 6, which could delete your hard disc due to a bug).
You see, developing a codec for money is bad :devil:

Sorry for not joining the rest of you in your celebrations, but a crashing codec is worthless to me.
Doing a first pass with B-frames enabled, and turning the B-frames off before the second pass resulted in an Integer Divide-by-Zero. (reproducible)
Crashlog and settings can be posted if needed.
This was on an Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton) with 1GB RAM, running Windows XP SP1.
Aside from that, the encodes I did perform were not as high quality as I had been led to believe it would have from everyone being so lyrical about xvid.
Tried various settings at various bitrates and quantizers, but all of them showed the same thing. Output had filmgrain-like noise in it that was not there in the source video.
No colourspace conversions performed since it was all kept in YV12.
I have not decided which codec to use for various stuff I am playing with yet, but for xvid to be a choice, I really need to be able to do mistakes like unchecking B-frames before second pass without suffering a crash from it.

No, you need not to be able to drive against a wall and not suffer as much as a scratch. Frame-type decision is made in first pass, don't tamper with it.
If you want advice to improve the quality of your encodings, have a good read around the forum, and if that doesn't help you're welcome to open a new thread where you can discuss your settings. And be sure you have the 'film effect' unchecked in your decoder settings...

Congratulations on reaching the symbolic 1.0.0 version number.
I wonder if in the future a 2.0.0 version will be reached with profiles and specific code to restrict bitrate peaks to ensure the flawless playback on mp4 hardware players. Or maybe the hardware will catch up in processor power to make this irrelevent :)
Well congratulations to all the Xvid team.

Since you obviously didn't read that it was a mistake, I'll say it again. It was a mistake.
Am I supposed to read your reply as "don't do mistakes because we have no interest in building in protection against mistakes"?
If not, please clarify your position on crashes from mistakes.

17th May 2004, 15:40
@vispgraedde: I am sure someone will alter the code in a way that a change of frame-type decision in 2nd pass is ignored and doesn't result in a crash, anymore. Though this might not make it high on the to-do-list. (I have nothing to do with XviD deveopment, so I can't tell nor influence it.) It is my opinon though that you, if you use a software that comes without warranty and without a pricetag on it, cannot expect it to protect you from the consequences of wrong handling. If M$-Word crashes when I try to extend a table onto three pages, I curse because my company has paid good money for this software which had a decade to mature and calls itself a market-leader (and it should be able to work with long tables...). But when I download and install something that a friendly person developed for free and shares it with everyone, I take myself back when I have a problem with it and humbly suggest it to be changed. Or rather I learn how to use it correctly.
@IgorC: Only fixes, no breakthroughs here.

I think it's more like "don't do mistakes because we have no time for building in protection against mistakes".
The devteam guys code XviD in their spare time. Given that, they decided to concentrate in codec functionalities & speed instead of making it rock-solid in such rare situations. sysKin stated several times that XviD is not so solid when dealing with wrong input. Of course, if you need something different, you can simply drop XviD and use another codec.

I am not saying that developing codec for money is a bad thing, not because it's good. ;) But because every thing have two sides.
On the one side I agree with you and there are examples much worse than DivX and Ahead (I personally can not say stigmatize them as sell-outs). M$ is worst example. I don't understand how can they, with all their power, make video player that is so overbigsized and overskined and useless. And Gabest is making MPC, that can play almost everything. Free video and DVD player, that rocks and fits floppy disk at the same time!
But there is the other side. I don't think that money can spoil or corrupt XviD developers. Money in good hands can make good things. I am not suggesting to make codec commercial. I am not suggesting anything. I'm just supposing. :) There are some stuff that can be improved by investing money. For example, more complicated protection or hidden mirroring of main web site. So some freaking hacker wannabe could not disrupt plans of good people. And low-pressure advertising of XviD on the web and, maybe, newspapers would not hurt too. I'm ashamed to say that long time ago when I was not into video encoding someone gave me video and I thought that XviD is just one more codec with FourCC changed (like AngelPotion). And now I convinced all of my friends to use it. It wasn't hard. I just told them why it's so good. :) Good things are spreading by themselves, of course, but not as fast as they should. And I am sure that there are many things could be done with money investments.
The most important is to keep these two sides in balance.
Unfortunately me and people who want to donate money are not able to do that for many different reasons. But if it would be possible to turn mouse clicks into money for good thing, than I'm sure many of us would donate their time. Maybe not banner add on the main site, but small link with counter at the end of the page would be acceptable? Link to some international and respectable site that would sponsor project. I would go there every time when I'll be online and surf it even if I wouldn't be interested in it's content. It could be something that those who 'worship and tribute' would do gladly.
But, let me say it again, I'm just supposing. :)
I am sorry about this long post. I just felt like speaking for some reason. And I hope I didn't go too off topic.

I know i'm a bit late with this but THANK YOU for all your efforts.
I think its brilliant that developers and users can get together and create such a fantastic thing such as xvid just for the love of it.
I know the '1.0' tag is just a number and the software will still be improved but it is psychologically important - it inspires confidence in the less adventurous and makes a big statement that the codec is here to stay.
LONG LIVE XVID!!!!

It's not the big who eats the small, its the fast who eats the slow.
Thinking of all the people who made this One possible and great.
A big thanks from a tinny dot in the Atlantic Ocean.

Oh yeah, the codec that everybody and his dog compiles.
When they start offering official compiles on their homepage we'll consider it.

I thought only the queen of England referred to herself in plural. Anyway, why does the build have to be downloaded from their homepage? If you dl the source and compile for yourself (and I mean "you" in plural), you can check to see that the code doesnt contain any security problems or whatever, and as a bonus benefit you can use whatever compiler and compiler options you want.

It certainly was a damn bad choice for a first post.
A little late. :)
Thank you guys for such wonderful codec. Most people have already said it all. So I won't repeat. You guys rock.

Been a long time coming, guys.
Though I'm currently using 'some other' codec now for my personal backups, this is one event not to be ignored in passing.
Dammit, I raise a toast to the Xvidites!
I am one with you on this euphoric day in codecland.
Cheers.

Damn, created that account just to make that one post. And it wasn't a particularly good one.
*EDIT*
Oops, Teegedeck already said this :p

I want to take this milestone as an opportunity to thank all the developers for their long hard work on the codec.
As for me, I have some rewriting to do...my FAQ has just become considerably outdated. :)
AFAIK the faq is up again btw. I will start updating it asap but I can't promise that'll be quick.

I'll keep this thread going and add my thanks to all those concerned who helped make XviD 1.0 a reality! I've done a bit of my own testing with this codec needless to say that "other" MPEG-4 codec will no longer be required. :D
I also can't believe how accurate the built in calc is (2 pass)! Run against a noisy 1 1/2 hour analogue cap, XviD produced a file which came within 1 MB of available space on a 700MB CD. Outstanding!
