Re: 3ivx D4 4.5 released



i've tested the new codec update from 3ivx a little bit and i'm still impressed. at approximately the same file size the 3ivx is clearly better than the sorenson video 3 codec and every quicktime player 6+ is able to play these files.
qt pro also offers 2-pass support for 3ivx.

the first test were really convincing and seem to deliver better quality than the sorenson3 codec.
please share your experiences.

Regardless, I'm always excited to see an update to DiVA, an excellent MPEG-1 and -2 decoder... it's fast (much faster than realtime, though at higher resolutions constrained by disk speed) and supposedly has an all YUV pipeline (assuming you're targeting a YUV codec).


It's always had some quirks with framerates resulting from material with 3:2 pulldown, hopefully they've been resolved... otherwise, it's comparable to Flask or XMPEG on Windows.

As for 3ivx, I'll have to see it myself - fortunately I'm in the middle of a large update to my internal codec review process, so I'm going to add it to the mix tonight (though if DiVA is the only tool to offer 2-pass support for 3ivx it'll make it hard to compare directly, as I'm not using DiVA in my other tests, and DiVA only takes MPEG as source).
