XviD-01082002-1

It was very close to be Koepi's XviD 02082002 :D Great work. Respect. Hope gruel will soon get EPZS(^2) finalized. BTW i'm still using your CVS source. could you please make a src CVS package too for guys who don't know how to use CVS (like me) Just a suggestion. Thx. EDIT : Your site is more readable now (yellow/red on black was too agressive :) )

Yaaaaay! New version, new version! And the long fabled greyscale mode. Gonna be a whole lotta testing going on tonight.

Nice that you like a new toy :) Btw., just notice that I fixed the "broken" GUI once more, now there are no lines through the checkboxes anymore ;) Regards, Koepi

@Koepi, Thank you for your great job and builds ;) If you don't mind, could you summarize the "generic profile" for 1 CD and 2 CD rip in this thread, especially for the I MinQ/MaxQ and P MinP/MaxQ, I-frame boost %, and the latest 2 additional setting : below I-frame distance and I-frame bitrate reduction %. Thank you.

I don't know if the grayscale mode will save any bits, but if it does, I guess it could be a cool option to have for the credits. After all, they are mostly white text on black anyway, and maybe you could even use it for the intro credits as well, to save some more bits... I guess. Dunno, just some late night rambling :)

Well, since the Greyscale thread is closed i thought of posting this here. And since this test was done with 01/08 Koepi's build, isn't of topic too ;) I made a small test, using a colour trailer with 3570 frames. The first encode was done in quantizer mode, with quant 4, and greyscale off. I got a final avi with 28.844 KB. The second test was done with the same exact settings, but with greyscale on. The final avi was 26.436 KB. So, i got a reduction in size of about 9%. This correspondes to the values mentioned in the xvid.org thread.(this was a very clean source). To my understanding, greyscale is delivering exactly what it said would do.

it's beautiful!! just encoded 12 angry men, and the annoying green hue is gone! sometimes i wish i could hug koepi ... :D

Hehe, thanks for your thumbs up, it's nice to see that you like the latest additions. Now I only need to get my hands on a matrix and SPR DVD to tweak around with the settings so doom9 can see that, too ;) Regards, Koepi

Well, if you say so, i believe you :) It appears that Nicky got so busy that he ended the updates on his site :( I too liked his guides a lot. I started in this xvid/divx "thing" there. But you can have a look here: This guy has some very good guides too.

Hu? that wasn't my intention. It's just so that doom9 has many good guides ;) Stay here, enjoy hangin' around! (I just did mention that linking to two different sites and stating they're sooo good might not be the best thing to do ;) ) Regards, Koepi
