Koepi's XviD Codec 1.3.4 reviews

Disregard comment#9, and total b*llnuts!
This is one fantastic piece of software, and good e.g. in movie archiving: DivX -certified players play movies encoded with XviD, you can put as many as six on a single DVD without any noticeable quality loss.
Of course, x264/h264 is more modern; more efficient in compression with better picture quality, but not as well supported by players as DivX/XviD. And DivX is commercial, which means you should pay for something you get for free anyway, and don't even have to break any laws ;)
So download this one, support open source software (or good sw at least) and start encoding!

I just downloaded this codec and everything seems okay, I can now watch video with my audio and no virus notices have popped up.

Very good freeware codec, easy to install.

I use this codec to encode films in AVI format with VirtualDub. The XviD configuration is made for experts and provides users with useful settings to experiment with. It includes a Bitrate Calculator which lets you enter a desired target size (in kbytes) and calculates the according target bitrate (in kbps) to match the filesize as near as possible. The same can be done for audio bitrates.

For example, a DVD film with a common length of 90 minutes can be compressed into a target filesize of 665600 kbytes (650 MB) or 716800 kbytes (700 MB) only! Such a video file could be stored on a single CD-R. The balance between compression ratio and image quality is excellent. Even at lower bitrates and higher compression the results are sufficient.

Thanks,

My problem has been solved.

Thank you....

Keep it up...

works fine for me on quicktime and windows media player

i installed this codec and nothing changed :(
i was expecting Windows Media Player to be able to play the movie i want to see but it still couldn't play it.
is there anything more i need to do?

I don't know much about computers but I needed a codec to watch some films on my laptop and this fixed the problem. Thankx.

Easy to use and very reliable.

1. AutoMKV w/XviD, BlindDeHalo (for anime) or LEM (for film) main filter, HybridFuPP HQ (for anime) or Lanczos (for film) resize filter, and SemiInsane (for anime) or DideesSixofNine.HVS (for film) cust. matrix.

2. Rip, with audio set to NONE, 1280x720 HD/Blue source to 720x576 (PAL standard), then open output file in MPEG4Modifier and convert to 1024x576 anamorphic.

3. Use DGindex to strip all AC3 audio tracks from source. Open audio files in AutoMKV (it can do that!), and process 5.1 to Lame DPLII 192kbps, 2.0 to Lame Stero 112kbps, and single-channels to Lame Mono 112kbps. Normalize or don't normalize to taste, depending upon volume of source, and whether or not PAL/NTSC fps needs to be corrected.*

*4. Many PALs of Hollywood and Japanese films are "tinny" (23.976 sped up to 25fps), and many American/Japanese NTSCs of European films are "croaky" (slowed down from 25fps). To fix: in AutoMKV: Advanced Profiles Edition > Assume FPS > (set to correct FPS). Change audio similarly in Advanced Audio ("!!!") settings. If there is a slight out-of-sync, open the output video in VirtualDubMod, then add audio in Streams tab, then Video > Frame Rate > Change so Match, then Save As > Direct Stream Copy.

5. Final mux everything in AVImuxGUI. (Rename the audio tracks here.)

....your output will be stunning.

And remember: CROP, you d**ned idiots!

You should probably cut-n-paste & save this handy little guide. You can also find my "XviD 100%" rips in the usual locations.

Well...A good Codec indeed.
However, i noticed a stability issue - when playing a bit damaged video file (with some corrupted frames in it) and Codec faces one of these - it crashes my PC, instead of giving a player (WMP) error or just a distorted picture for a sec, which is a "standart" behaviour...
I have never encountered a PC crash, viewing a video file (even corrupted) before with other Codecs.
Despite this, i'm still using it - works completely fine with "healthy" videos.

I am not very computer literate and kept getting an explorer error when I tried to convert XVID to MP4 for my IPOD. I downloaded this little codec and voila my conversion worked! Simple, easy to use and no issues. Thanks gang!!

Absolutely a great codec.

- but the videos are still tagged 1.1.2 (XviD0046)... hmm maybe they forgot to change

I get a malware alert with TrendMicro everytime I try to download this.


Administrator's Note: It is a false positive, this software is definitely clean.

TOP ON THE TOPS

I test XviD every 9 months since 5 years, but i have a better experience with DivX, XviD has sometimes better image quality than DivX, sometimes worser, depends on the movie, and thats a problem for me, i cant wait hours the compression takes to see if the image quality is good enough or not and than start over again, with DivX i allways get the quality i expect, no surprise, no disapointment. But XviD is a good codec, plays on DivX-DVD players too, and its free software, its really a good alternative ;)
Have a nice day everyone :)
