You can go directly to Divx Labs and speak directly to the developers. Get active on the forums, become a beta user. If anyone has some additions and changes to Divx, than do something positive for us all and get involved with Divx and Divx Labs. Xvid users really hurt serious programmers and a small company trying to do things the right way and finally, dispite Xvid's nonsense, is getting more stand alone DVD players to support the format.
You see the cost of Xvid when cable fees go up because they are NOT using an standard compressed video format by a professional organization like Divx and the bandwidth is so much higher along cable lines to play movies and WE ALL PAY FOR THAT.Īnyone who says that Xvid is faster or better than Divx is a moron who is ignorant on how to use Divx. Fix for a regression in initializing the Inter matrix with MPEG Quantization Changes since 1.3. It fixes and replaces the previous 1.3.6 stable release. You see the cost of Xvid for all of that crappy non-standard garbage that gets distributed that is compatible with nothing. Xvid 1.3.7 stable release This is Xvid 1.3.7 bugfix release. You see the cost of Xvid anytime you see limited resources for professional development and marketing for Divx. You see the cost of Xvid anytime you see a stand alone DVD player that has no compressed video support. Divx is NOT Microsoft and if a group is trying to do something special and compete in the market place, PLEASE SUPPORT THEM. If there are cheapskates who think that XVID is free, it isn't, it cost and cost us all plenty. If you want professionals, support, people marketing to DVD makers to include their compressed video formats and support compressed video, DON'T USE THE HACKY, UNPREDICTABLE XVID.
That has to cost a fortune to do.ĭivx Player is free and Divx Pro is really cheap, about $40.00 with upgrades forever. Xvid is for kids who like to play with software, but it totally unprofessional and NOT industry standard.įortunatelly, Divx, which has to deal with ALL of the marketing efforts to get compresssed video support in standard DVD players and is really breaking through in that area. Xvid really is a pain and has delayed the acceptance and spread of standardized MPEG-4, Divx. Xvid DOES NOT COMPETE with professionally created, maintained, marketed Divx.
