The development team is happy to announce the immediate availability of XviD 1.0.0 release. Though this version number is purely symbolic, it's still an important step, and the "xvid-team" hopes you'll enjoy all the efforts that have been put in this 1.0 numbered version. Thanks to all users who: reported bugs, sent patches and helped us improve XviD up to an 1.0 quality level.

Happy encoding and stay tuned for improvements in upcoming releases.

Changes since 1.0.0 RC4 (Hola):

    * xvidcore

          o minor bug in trellis quantification optimization.

          o speedup for vhq>1 & qpel modes (motion search was done twice, one in SAD mode and one in RD mode)

          o Fixed MV clipping with non valid DivX 5 based sequences.

          o Fixed RGB 16 bit C functions.

          o Fixed posible VOL header corruption for fps=1 encodes.

          o DC misprediction caused by bad value clipping (bug forwarded to the ffmpeg project too).

    * VFW frontend

          o Fixed mismatching of hints<->widgets.

    * DShow frontend

          o none

whats the difference between xvid and divx besides the fact that its divx spelled backwards?

Xvid is open source/free. In my experience, it has a slightly (there isn't much of a difference between any of the mpeg-4 codecs) better video quality than DivX. It also encodes much quicker. I thought it was just me, but according to Doom9, DivX 5.1 can take five times longer than Xvid to encode the same file. You have to pay to encode in DivX too (the "free" version has spyware/adware).

    • what other retro software do yall use

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
