I'll assume the search is broken:) You should do your own tests and then decide. Edge

None of them, I choose XviD!

Really?? does real really uses more powerful machine to play then Divx or Xvid?? can comebody prove that??

It takes more CPU on my machine. The post processing is not configurable. The latest Xvid developer binaries have lots of good things in store though. And very little CPU.

Well, I just made an encode of the 5th element targeting 684kbps (1CD) and the quality for that is amazing. Latest xvid devel build (not yet published) - it's amazing :) Regards Koepi

XviD is the best codec for any bitrate from 250 kbps to 2.5 Mbps. quality is amazing, and if you prefer RV9/WM9, it's because you don't know avisynth, or you like blur effects.

@ Marc FD: If you say XviD is the beats RV9 at pretty much any bitrate, what settings (in avisynth as well as in XviD) would you recommend to get results as good as RV9, re-enciding from a noisy VCD capture, at a total bitrate of 225 (audio+video). This is for cartoons (Simpsons). Let's say I'm using a 32 kbit ogg for the sake of argument, leaving about 190 kbit for the video. I realise this is a little under your claimed bitrate range, but all the same... I'd be very interested in seeing what results you get. If I uploaded a short clip to my site for testing, could you encode it and send it back to me so I could see what kind of results you get? I played around with both XviD (playing around with the codec settings) and DivX and couldn't get them to look anywhere near as good as RV9 at this bitrate (but I didn't really play around with my avisynth script much).

which one did you encode today?? Because there is two Slayers Next - opening.ogm ... one is opening and the other one is opening2 BTW, the part4 of the opening2 doesn't work... ot i coudn't download it due to a server problem...

>which one did you encode today?? >Because there is two Slayers Next - opening.ogm ... one is opening and >the other one is opening2 i encoded the second. seems logical, no ^_^ >BTW, the part4 of the opening2 doesn't work... ot i coudn't download it >due to a server problem... i rechecked, should work now. please retry.
