You would only need X during the encoding process while you would need to have Xvid during playback if you utilize its advanced features Author Recent Posts. Ben Joan.

That and Constant Quality Divx actually does come out good in comparison to xvid xvid sometimes dropes frames or that may have been bad settings.
I am normally use H. I use DivX. Xvid is open source? Then why does it still pale in comparison to Divx then? May 16, at am. In my own experience..

You cite video scale and fps but that has little to do with your file size. I wonder what your bitrates are? That would have the most impact on file size. Usually a bitrate of to kbps produces an image that has near dvd quality and still looks pretty good on i screen.
As someone who often re-encodes DviX to Xvid, using slightly higher bitrates that the original, I often wind up with slightly smaller file sizes with no loss of quality I can detect.

Both has the same base, so basically it is the same result achieved in two different ways… If you have problems with the file size or the picture quality probably it is because something YOU did wrong when converting the file.
Have a look on the link I posted and read the profiles for Xvid, set your encoder for one of those settings, then do the same settings on Divx encoder and you will see that there is no difference in the final result.

This caused an annoying error COM surrogate has stopped working to begin occuring whenever I opened up a folder with DivX coded files in it. My solution was to uninstall all DivX related software, and install the K-Lite codec pack, which actually automatically uninstalled several other redundant codecs.
This was probably a good maintanence item and everything has been running smoothly since. XviD using MP3 drops the audio down to stereo. If there is a way to preserve 5. March 17, at am. I suggest using AC-3 developed by Dolby Laboratories which can supports mono, stereo or 6 channel audio with a maximum bitstream of kbps.
AC-3 is a format that can be supported by DLNA devices, but you would have to check the specific components specs to know for sure.
My Linksys Extender supports it just fine as do many other devices. There is also a DivX codec for H. March 31, at pm. During playback, your Xbox does not care which encoder was used.
The only important fact is that the encoder followed the MPEG4 standard. That is sufficient for basic video playback of both DivX and Xvid, but certification does not stop there. Certified devices include advanced DivX features like sub-titles, alternate audio tracks, chapter points, etc. The certified Sony Playstation 3 supports these features while the uncertified Xbox does not. These features must be licensed from DivX, Inc. The same applies to software. May 22, at am. Just saying thanks.
May 22, at pm. July 6, at am. Yeah its a good article. September 16, at pm. December 21, at pm. I did some testing myself using only the resulting avis as comparison rather than stills and I found that at higher bitrates, Xvid wins but Divx looked better to be at lower bitrates. As someone said, Xvid can look a bit grainy so when frames are in motion, the blur DivX adds really helps cover up imperfections nicely. March 18, at pm. So it IS possible to make a file that is within the standard but may have trouble playing on some hardware.
As for Quality, that will depend mostly on your settings and the type of source material you are working with. Speed, really will depend on both the type of source material, as well as the specific OS and hardware you use. And the settings chosen of course. So to summarize, both are pretty close but can have advantages in specific situations. April 5, at am. June 7, at pm. June 14, at am. DivX is more system intensive and bloatware, and what do they have to hide?
There is always an uninstall for XviD but never one for DivX? Also DivX destroys playback of Xvid probably purposefully. XviD however faithfully plays DivX without trying to corrupt it. January 30, at pm. February 9, at am. Your comparison is flawed because it does not show how they stack up against the control the original file.
July 3, at am. October 18, at am. The source format is the final output to one or more specific encoded files. If the quality is set the same for both Xvid and X, video encoded in X will be of smaller size than the video encoded in the Xvid encoder. Also, if the file size is set the same for the encoders, the video quality of X encoder will be better than the video quality of the Xvid encoder. Xvid is not a format.
Videos encoded with Xvid encoder can be decoded again with all the decoders that are MPEG-4 compatible. To be precise, it can be decoded by the other decoders that are based upon the open source libavcodec library. Xvid encoder is capable of stripping video data of unnecessary stuff. The videos compressed by the Xvid encoder can be times smaller than the original source video even with the visual quality kept intact.
It ensures fast compression and exceptional quality video performance which exceeds many expensive similar products to it. The codec is available for free. In many hardwares, the Xvid encoder is incorporated from the start. This enables the public to check it and to make sure if there is any spyware or adware in it. X is an open-source library.
