In addition, IMHO is less demanding for some players, and as it is less and less important the size of a file I think it is a good idea to code in XVID.
Edit: i have a LG DVK-9713N, it works like a charm. Last edited by GMJCZP; 18th March 2018 at 17:56. |

Well, it's definitely not for me, that's for sure.
I feel like the best way to watch anything is on a PC, and if you want to watch it on a TV, just get a moderately long HDMI cable, or build a small form factor, HTPC and stream everything to it from your main PC or home NAS. Whatever. If you're converting movies to xvid in 2018, you're just dragging out the inevitable. There are better formats out there and many players can handle them just fine with no issues. Feel free to convince me otherwise. Quote:

There is no need to convince you that you should use Xvid when you know you can rather use something more advanced.
Other people may need Xvid for specific reasons. And I won't convince them to abandon Xvid at all costs. Only if convenient. |

I've seen many XviD videos in my time, and they almost all look like an artifacting mess by comparison to x264 or x265. x264 and x265 look far more natural to me if you choose correct settings, which is actually very easy to do. |

The "please" doesn't make this request less demanding (and ALL CAPS is demanding); I don't enjoy being threatened.
I belong to the group of people who still occasionally use a mobile player (pocket size) which is not yet capable of decoding MPEG4-AVC, for which MPEG4-ASP is the optimum. And as long as it works, I see no reason to dump it. Of course, today I would not buy such a limited device anymore. But that's not the topic here. I grant you your right to use "something better than Xvid", I don't mind. But I would mind if you deny other people the right to still use Xvid where it is appropriate for their limited features. My parents taught me tolerance. What I don't like but can't fix, I may decide not to care about further. |

Is Xvid really missing a CLI parameter for xvid_encraw (like '-V' or '--version') which prints the version number and quits? I could only find one way to make xvid_encraw print it: When it passes the parameter sanity check and actually tries to encode something. There is no version number contained in the help output. So the fastest way to query the version seems to be:
Code:
xvid_encraw <NUL Xvid CLI 1.3.5 (MSYS2, MinGW32 / MinGW64 + GCC 9.1.0) Last edited by LigH; 18th July 2019 at 12:19. |
