XVID 1.0 Released

Posted by michael on from the graphic-violence dept.

Freedom66 writes "The 1.0 version of XVID codec is available. XviD is an ISO MPEG-4 compliant video codec like DIVX codec. It's an open source project which is developed and maintained by lots of people from all over the world. On the 31st December, Doom9 has made a codec comparison and XVID was at this time, one of the best codecs."

    I think the parent poster meant x-vid as in "X, the metasyntactic variable" followed by "vid, short for video". As opposed to being an obscure sort of time travelling self-reference. It is possible and would be a funny irony, but I had thought "DivX ;-)" was somehow a reference to the failed commercial Divx service. Which merely passes on the question, of course.

    Anything that can make porn look cleaner yet dirtier looking at the same time is ok in my book... or er.. pants.

    I'm at this moment ripping "BladeRunner TDC".

    Good lord, why bother? Without the Harrison Ford narration, Blade Runner is a steaming pile of shit. Get yourself a copy of the original film print, a film scanner, and make us a REAL copy, would you? None of this TDC nonsense. I'd download an illegal copy of it from you THEN. ;-)

    "and at 2kps-4kbs you are looking at some DAMN fine video"

    Wow, most people have trouble getting telephone quality audio through that. Is that one of those 'infinite compression' codecs?

    Instead of linking to a mirror you made of the 92 byte hacked page...

    Why not link to something useful, like a mirror of the original?
