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.
