but i think syskin meant more only the bitstream description changing not the whole video stream

There is a MediaTek chipset based stand-player which can detect AR signalling incorporated into the bitstream.
Have a look in the "hardware section"! Cheers

This happens on divx5 streams but not xvid PB streams. I'll commit the fix, but you'll probably need xvid 1.1alpha to have it working. Radek |

I've just removed the packed bitstream from an DivX 1B-VOP packed bitstream encode.
When you play it back via WMP9 or MPC the image shakes about like something from an Irwin Allen disaster movie. Forcing the encode to play via XviD's DSdec filter reveals the same symptoms. Everything is OK if you delete all the UserData though. Perfect playback via the 3ivX DSdec filter or via Nero's ShowTime player, with or without the UserData! Tried the same test with an XviD 1B-VOP packed bitstream encode. And the same thing happened... Sadly this tool has not helped me with XviD 1B-VOP encodes played back via Sigma Xcard.... so god knows what makes XviD and DivX so different in this regard! This tool is great fun... I love it...

So should I remove 'DivX999b000p' part in XviD movie or just change 'p' to 'n' when removing packed bitstream? And, just out of curiosity, what all the numbers and letters after DivX and XviD mean? I was told that 'p' is packed bitstream and 'c' is cartoon mode. |

that way no decoder will think that its still packed, but still it will be possible to detect that the stream had been outputted packed by the encoder if something is borky

The XviD userdata string is 'XviD' followed by a 4 character bitstream version (for example, XviD 1.0.1 writes the userdata 'XviD0035'). If the character 'C' is appended to the end, this indicates cartoon mode. The DivX userdata string is 'DivX' + version + 'b' + build ('DivX503b1031' for DivX 5.1.1), followed by a 'p' if packed bitstream was used. EDIT: bond was quicker . Yeah, if you want to leave the fake DivX userdata string in there and just change 'p' to 'n' it won't hurt anything. Last edited by Moitah; 25th June 2004 at 22:10. |

I noticed when you generate a DivX5.1.1 encode with 1B-VOP packed bitstream (PBS). MPEG4 Modifier displays the UserData as being, DivX503b1031p.
And when you generate a XviD1.0.1 encode with 1B-VOP packed bitstream (PBS). MPEG4 Modifier displays the UserData as being, DivX999b000p and XviD0035 The DivX user code is totally different. Could it be something as simple as this that confuses some stand alone players? And... I remember some people on the DivX forum wanting a tool that could detect the exact version of DivX that was used in an encode. Could this tool do this? Cheers

someone would have to investigate which version number used which "bitstream version" and create a list i dont really like the idea that people can mess around with the user data, its simply a very accurate way to identify the used codec (including some codec settings) and there shouldnt be a reason why to change it (except with the xvid decoder, which syskin already announced to change to not care about the user data anymore )

I can see this tool being useful for some DivX users... I've always found Sigma's AVIcheck to be useful (I know - don't say it). Although it can't tell you the version of DivX used, it can very quickly, tell you if the stream contains B-VOP's, S-VOP and Qpel. To have something like this in MPEG4Modifier would be great, especially if it could tell you how many consecutive / variable B-VOP's were used! Would this be possible? Cheers

BTW I'm finding the error "Startcode not found at the beginning of the frame" when I try some .avis. Is the problem in the stream or the program? Quote:
Great tool, Moitah! |

Moitah,
I've had yet another wild thought! Would it be possible to create a tool that can alter the PAR and DAR of Mpeg1 and Mpeg2 streams? And.... If you is possible to adapt MPEG4Modifier to show if an Mpeg4 stream contains B-VOP, Qpel and GMC. Would it also be possible to identify the type of GMC was used ie: 1WP or 3WP? This sort of feature should prove useful for some of us hardware player users! And.... Given that MPEG4Modifier is not specifically related to XviD, would it be better to move this thread to another part of the forum. I reckon loads of people are missing out. Cheers

@SeeMoreDigital: I'm not really interested in messing with MPEG 1/2. I would like to do some stats in the next version, including B-VOP/QPel/GMC information (yes, I believe I will be able to determine the number of warp points). Also I plan to allow the field order flag to be modified for interlaced encodes.
