So, what are your divx 5.1 encode speeds now?? so slow....so slow:(

i feel like i've gone back in time to celly 500, 3fps encode!! well this is at the very slowest quality setting, but its quite amazing how slow it is! and i thought my cpu was reasonably spiffy lol🙂

And you can do tons and tons of passes too. ^^ The Xvid developers won't even put stuff like that in since they say such high levels of quality aren't needed...

Stick to DivX3.11, it's still the best.

I haven't tried 5.1 yet, but 2 pass Xvid looks better than 6 pass Divx5.05

3.11 is not still the best🙂 maybe a while ago.

i know the 5.02~ divx slowest setting is now equiv to the normal setting in 5.1. its nice that they give you the option of extreme quality even at extreme cost, becuase well, options are nice. but its just damn surprising how slow it is. i used to get 20+ fps encodes with 5.02🙂 and yes, the quality i've seen from uber slow encodeing is better, if its worht it to u, no idea.

guess i can't wait for 5ghz cpus. but then hdtv wil still be a problem🙂 and next version of video encoding is supposedly even harsher!

celeron 1.5ghz
1st pass on 704~x364~ 1.569 fps

cripes.

The problem is even to get extreme quality you need to have the bitrate so high we are talking about 3 cd rips....I and Thugsrook played arund with this quite a bit with 5.05 version....The I got a DVD burner and none of it make any sense for me to do. Divx was a means to back up dvd content on cd-rs or to play on computers while being realitively small in size. If you want such high quality then get a dvd burner and a program like dvd-shrink and copy the disk...

I spend all my free time converting some of my rare divx movies to dvd format to burn on DVD's with TMPGenc.....

Other then using a small clip as a stability test Divx in my eyes for me is now officially useless...

Let me tell you one thing as to help you later on when you get like me and want to convert to dvd content.....Keep the size as native as possible...cropping bars is fine but no 640x anything or old ball sizes or resizing becomes an issue when trying to make an mpeg2 dvd that looks correct and authors out to a DVD format and fills the screen. I have kept many movies at 704x288 for 2.11:1 format and such and my resizing in tmpgenc was a breeze and movie looks perfect and fills the screen....Tried oldball resolutions like 640 and such and the movie now has side bars as well as top and bottom bars...
