Divx 6 and Xvid

[o2xygen]

Yes Divx 6 is great but not free.
Does anyone know if xvid developers going to answer back to the Divx 6? I have tried searching in xvid forums but no luck :confused:

[bond]

what do you mean with "answer back"?

[lamer_de]

He probably means a release with a higher version number. Or the introduction of a proprietary container format ;)

So, no, the Xvid developers won't "answer back" because there is no need to.

CU,
lamer_de

[o2xygen]

you mean that there will never be an xvid container (with menus subs etc etc)...

[stephanV]

nope... XviD developers aim at creating a good working codec. DivX aims at creating a good working all-in-one video back-up solution compatible with their hardware.

from what ive read it should be possible to use xvid with DMF though.

[bond]

you can use any mpeg-4 codec in ".divx", as .divx is .avi (maybe including additions like chapters or subs, but also maybe not)

if you want a "xvid container", simply rename your xvid .avi files to .xvid, cause thats simply what divx does for audio+video-only files to create ".divx" files

[IgorC]

I agree. Divx6 isn't a breaktrhu new codec. It still MPEG4 ASP. Yes it has menu, chapters. But Xvid's users also can use divx container. In quality and speed terms Divx6 isn't better than Xvid at all.

[m0rtal]

why xvid developers should invent new container?
they left decision for us - we can use any container that we like: Matroska, mp4, avi, etc, etc, etc...

xvid should die.. they made loads of xvid movies that dont play back on divx hardware.. xvid is a joke on its users.. any codec is useless if it dont playback on divx hardware

[CruNcher]

@CrashUK
sorry but the Developers make no Movies they write the Codec and they also don't make the Playback of XviD impossible on Hardware Players if you create them (Standalone Compatible) it will work the way DivX does on any DivX Player of any Generation and for sure you will like the fact that all the new Hollywood Movies that come out for HDTV won't playback on your DivX Player, many will disagree with you that AVC/VC1 aren't useless only because they don't play on your loved DivX Certified Player it is just that ;)
The Playback "Restrictions" you Expirience are coming from the fact that Soc Manufactures wan't to save money and aren't interested in the small Quality that Qpel,GMC or for some Custom Matrixes "can" produce.

Hi retard! How is your psychosis these days? :rolleyes:

[celtic_druid]

Exactly. According to you DivX is also useless since it can do qpel which won't playback on all standalones.

Basically you download stuff for free that won't play and you want to complain? If you must complain, complain to whoever released it as they are the ones who enabled whatever settings cause it not to work for you. Then again you could always just encode stuff yourself.

[Shinigami-Sama]

yet another moron to fan the flames o ignorance.
xvid=>dvix, thats it, if you don't have the intelianve to use xvid then fine, but these files you speack of aer probly questionable content from some p2p

so untill your grow up pealse stop making posts like that

[Didée]

CrashUK: you mixed up things.

XviD is *proper* technology, and DivX is the bad joke.

A comparison with ancient technology:

I've an old VCR that does mono audio only. But if I put in a cassette containing stereo audio, it plays flawless - only in mono, but it works.

However, if that VCR was certified by DevilX, it would not play that fully standardsconform cassette, but explode instead.
