Help a fellow foumer...

[Curtis]

Hi all,

Following the release of the excellent Divx 5.0 codec, I had a rush of blood to the head and foolishly deleted all my copies of the older (4.x) codecs.

I would be really greatful if someone would email me his or her copy of the 4.12 codec installer.

Cheers.

You can probably get it either at www.vcdhelp.com or www.divx.com

 

[Curtis]

Nope, unfortunately every site seems to have updated to only carry 5.0 . Thanks anyway.

try kazaa, but be warned, they've pumped that program so full of spyware it isnt funny.

Hey thanks, dude! I'd forgotten to check Divx Digest.

Muchly appreciated

No problemo. DivX Digest is the best!

I would just like to point out that divx 5 sucks, even with an amd processor.

 

[JCTango]

why does it suck?

I was about to install the codec! Tell me why it sux!

Curious: Is the processing time slower than that of divx 3.11? Any asynch issues? Any colour issues? (I know divx 4.0 had probs with the colour GREEN for me)

I tried about 5 different encodes with it messing with bunches of settings and it output color garbage, and it wasnt that much faster of an encode either, only 2-3 frames faster, not worth it, stick with 4.12 for encoding until they fix it.

4.12 is pretty good, worth the upgrade from 3.11, has good VBR support too, mess with both of those and see which you prefer.
