DivX 5 to be released Monday, March 4th

[darthmango]

PM me if you want a The Day the World Went Away video encoded in divx 5.

 

[Czar]

that wasnt the pro version, the decoder has the pro image in the about box, probably a bug or something


Anyone think that this is slower than the previous version.. I´m encoding a 430mb mpeg file and at 8fps while when I encoded those files with version 4.12 I got 14fps

Hmmmm, The free pro version contains spyware. Removing with Ad-Aware causes DivX to popup a message saying that a critical component is missing. grrrr!

somebody's gonna have to find some type of dummy file

 

[Fandu]

Gator is the only one that Ad-Aware finds...... are there already stubs for Gator?

F-CK that.

people need to get their heads out of their asses and support things like ogg tanken.

Are these the same people that made "DivX " with the winking? Or is this some other group trying to cash in on the $$$?

Divx3.11 was made by those people
Divx4.12 is made by divxnetworks and so is divx5


Must say I REALY like this version, before I was getting files like 270mb but now it looks like a 140mb file... though its realy slower than before, still waiting for my first divx to finish.

The latter.

 

[Oreo]

You might want to look at the results before drawing any conclusions.

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

check out the warcraft 3 video. OMG!!!!!

 

[wolfsblood]

damnit I want to download it but I'm stuck here at school in java class, hope it lives up to the hype.

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

this was posted on the divx forums lol



<< Hey People!
If you wanna get rid of that crappy gator (SPY-WARE) proggy, just goto run in the start menu then type 'MSCONFIG', then goto the startup tab and uncheck the 'GAIN_TRICKLER_3102' box, then next time you reboot you wont have the spy-ware running, buit you will have the full version of DivX 5 Pro ;p
Well DivX ripped Micro$oft off, so we should rip DivX off!
And the codec is ummmmm ok, but the hype deserved something better I think (although i can encode at over 40 fps, the end result is not really and better than the latest Xvid.. And the playa is absolute crap! Stick with BSplayer! it rocks!

So DivX.. when you say DivX 6 is out?

nevermind, it doesn't work if you try to encode... which I won't be doing much of anyway.

 

[Czar]

This ROCKS,
Just encoded a babylon5 episode and the size difference between divx4.12 and 5 is beyond anything I could have hoped for

I have encoded 6 other Babylon5 eps with divx4.12 and well.. here

Originals = 430-440mb
Divx4.12 = 248-267mb
Divx5 = 139mb

sweet sweet sweet.

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

i assume the quality is the same... is that correct Czar?

 

[Czar]

yes same quality.. but the original video is so bad, an old vhs recording. But there is very little noticable difference on the mpeg and the divx file.

going to divx the next file now and fiddle more in the controls

 

[Soulflare]

The results look quite good, but I'll wait for the hack.

I noticed that the latest Zonealarm can block that Trickler thing from connecting to the Internet...
does that pretty much neutralize the spyware?

 

[Fandu]

No, Gator is also installed along with the ad software.

 

[BD2003]

Does it bother anyone else that the ad software takes up 24 fvcking MB of Ram?

 

[eceborg]

OMG is there any way to get rid of this gator / ad crap?

 

[aceO07]

:Q Over 9 million downloads of divx5 from download.cnet.com.

 

[Tung]

whoa this version is great. can't wait to get home to try it out!

 

[swayinOtis]

if you don't encode your own pr0n, i mean videos, then i guess the free no ad version is the way to go, right?

 

[Soulflare]

Ad-aware will take out Gator, and Zonealarm (or similar firewall software) can prevent
Trickler from sharing whatever info it collects with the DivX folks or whoever else wants
it.

 

[Fandu]

SoulFlare:

Were you able to remove Gator and still have DivX able to encode? I tried it and it refused to startup.
