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).

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
