Download Koepi’s XviD 1.1.0 beta 1 16012005

A binary for the Windows platform has appeared on Koepi’s Media Development Homepage immediately after the release of the first beta release of the 1.1.0 branch of the XviD codec. The download is 628KB in size and can be downloaded this one page under the heading ‘Latest unstable binary’. Despite the fact that this release is based on a beta release from the XviD organization, it is very stable according to Koepi. Anyway, the changelog looks like this:

core

• Rate-Distortion mode decision for bvops.
• Two new postprocessing functions, brightness and deringing.
• VBV support in 2pass mode
• Everywhere encoder speedup, especially for b-frames and all vhq modes.
• Speedup of the decoder, merging decoding steps together in order to save significant memory bandwidth, enabled mmx qpel support that was mysteriously disabled in 1.0.x. All optimizations could lead to a 25% speedup, and something closer to 12% in average.
• Fixes to the CBR/ABR rate controller, it should work much better with bvops now.
• Fix to the 2pass2 code that could cause doubling the overflow.

• Support for brightness control.
