Hello, I have tried searching this forum and google but I cannot seem to find any information on what each column of an xvid stats file means:

for example:

i 2 2006 0 0 76309 7532

I know i means keyframe, 2 means quantizer and 76309 means frame size.. but what do the other numbers mean?

Any help is apperciated. Thanks

frametype
quant
number of blocks compressed as Intra
number of blocks compressed as Inter
number of blocks marked as not_coded
frame length
header length


for more information have a look at the source code.
xvid.h and plugin_2pass1.c are the relevant files.

Would it be possible for the xvid developers to make the stats file more informative like Divx. I know most people don't even look at the stats file but I think it would just be a cosmetic improvement on xvid make it a little more professional.

Well the current format does make it possible for the encoder and other programs to read the stats file extremely fast. I'm sure the developers simply assume that anyone who wants to look at the stats file is going to use a StatsReader-type program and not Notepad.
