Please don't do that. It may be embarrassing and could lead to death. As I mentioned earlier, pricing hasn't been decided yet. We'll be making that decision a little later in the year.

Will the Dr or Converter be updated to use this codec or has this been even discussed? Or are you guy making a new encoder app all together...

I can't elaborate too much on that yet, Ajax, but when the time comes you'll see more products released through Project Rémoulade at DivX Labs, and of course I'll also post updates here at Doom9.

Very good news, and long awaited. What I am awaiting with even more eagerness is the unveiling of the encoder bit of Project Rémoulade. Will have to see how that compares to the other H.264/AVC encoders, namely, x264, Ateme etc. Would we see some DivX-certified AVC standalone players soon then? Let's wait and see...

Here Divx decoder has comparable speed with last version of fastest H.264 decoder CoreAVC 1.7

CPU E2160
Timecodec. Render: Null.

1080p (300.2006.1080p.BluRay.DTS.x264-CtrlHD.sample.noaudio.mkv) . Divx H.264 decoder crashes in MPC while seeking or repetitve playback
Code:
CoreAVC

Divx
User: 6s, kernel: 0s, total: 6s, real: 36s, fps: 234.5, dfps: 43.4
720x304p x264 at 980 kbits

20 Mbits 1080p
Code:
Coreavc 
User: 13s, kernel: 0s, total: 13s, real: 55s, fps: 234.3, dfps: 56.2

Divx
User: 15s, kernel: 0s, total: 16s, real: 61s, fps: 191.3, dfps: 50.7
I also checked CPU load during playback in MPC. Divx charged CPU slightly more than CoreAVC 1.7 . But Divx decoder did nothing bad at all and enough close to CoreAVC. Smooth 1080p playback and multithread support are great. On that 2K 100 Mbit sample has borked output and only at 7.6 fps.

Thanks for posting your results. That's a little larger of a difference than we saw, I'm interested in some screenshots of CPU-Z on your box if you don't mind.

I noticed you used the null renderer, how do things play out with the a renderer attached?

Is the whole H.264 thing now a result of the MainConcept aggregation?

MainConcept is a pretty good H.264 decoder BTW. It may eat up quite some CPU time but it is the most compatible software-only decoder when it comes to integrating it into a streaming environment.

I will have to work out another test with DVBViewer (and PAFF streams) and different H.264 decoders and check/compare DVBSource (buffers/queues) and renderer (jitter, frame dropps) behaviour. [rule 6 material deleted] Think that a streaming environment (push graph scenario) can sometimes be tricky compared to file playback (mostly pull graph scenario).

geez, problems with dbviewer everywhere, sounds like they're the ones that really need to pull up their socks eh?

looking forwards to a good product like this in divx, its been a while since something big and nice has happened

and just remember, don't let the marketing guys set your price, look at what happened with slysoft, nearly priced themselves out of doom9

"Problem with DVBViewer" here is completely different...

DivX decoder has problems with DVBViewer's DVBSource, CyberLink and Elecard demuxer.

And the jitter I have reported may not even be related to DVBViewer at all: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...postcount=3803

Also can you tell which colorspace is negotiated between the decoder and the renderer, in both cases?

totally OT: just curious, who's tagging divx related thread with "coreavc"? (check "Tags" field above "Quick Reply")

Very interested, although performance isn't quite there yet.......curious how divx labs can post such radically different results than I get (specific settings that help their decoder and hurt CoreAVC?).

Here's some tests I performed, without filenames for "obvious" reasons (bah...doing SS since formatting is a nightmare here.....):




Edit: CPU-Z screenshot (guess useless but whatever)


Edit 2: OK retested FFDshow with latest rev....I'm impressed, gotten quite a bit faster since I last updated apparently (I switched back to old just to make sure I wasn't testing it differently.....but it is reproducable!) Congrats to FFDShow (and FFMpeg) Team!

Because that's what I had installed on this box and I thought it doesn't really matter....all I really wanted to compare was CoreAVC/Divx.

I can retest the clips with the latest revision, but do you think there is a point?

Edit: updated first post with newer versions.

the_corona: Yesterday I had to repack our binary. I am wondering if it has affected performance. Stay tuned - I will check it out this morning.
On DVBViewer: Reports are that Beta 1 is not working with live streams which may or may not be related to connections to the splitters mentioned by CiNcH. We'll be looking into that shortly.

So do I see this correctly:
With independent tests CoreAVC ist very considerably faster than DivX (Beta1)?!

I personally would have no problem with that, given the early development state of DivX h264 and the fact that CoreAVC is a full price product and currently holds the record for the fastest h264 software decoding.

However, since the numbers the DivX guys posted are that much more in favour of DivX, I can not stop to wonder and maybe feel a little kidded...
