How do I tell XviD to use a custom matrix?

Thanks.

Set it to MPEG custom. Then load the matrix.

To be a bit more clear..

Profile@Level->more...->Quantization Matrix=MPEG Custom->Edit Matrix->Load Matrix->load your CQM->OK->OK->OK.

thanks..i got it. what about mencoder? do you guys know the specific parameter i need to specify the matrices?

[unskinnyboy]

quant_intra_matrix=<filename with path>
quant_inter_matrix=<filename with path>

[celtic_druid]

Once again I think you are supposed to enable mpeg and load the matrix, so I think you should also have quant_type=mpeg.

[unskinnyboy]

Yes, he should. Thought that was implicit..:)

@xtknight,

quant_type=mpeg:quant_intra_matrix=<filename with path>:quant_inter_matrix=<filename with path>

[xtknight]

Yes, he should. Thought that was implicit..:)

@xtknight,

quant_type=mpeg:quant_intra_matrix=<filename with path>:quant_inter_matrix=<filename with path>

ok thanks...does this work with xvid? I heard the matrices in mencoder only worked with certain codecs. do i put this under xvidopts or is this just another parameter on the same level as xvidopts (like -oac, -ovc, etc?)

[celtic_druid]

They are xvidencopts.

Also to create the matrix files: http://www.aziendeassociate.it/cd//Misc/xvid4conf.7z

Under -xvidencopts.

EDIT: c_d beat me to it.
