    RE: Which codec you guys prefer Divx 5.0 or Xvid?

    I talk about this in some detail in this thread: http://forums.gotwoot.net/messagevie...;enterthread=y

    Long story short: we've never used divx5. You just think we have, because we normally do things in divx5 compatibility mode. And this new encoder we were testing decided to use all sorts of crap that's not dx50 compatible, and we didn't notice because our computers are for the most part properly set up to actually play video.

    As far as "legality reasons" -- well, it's not illegal to use divx5. xvid is just better. Always has been (well, almost always).

    I got this editing soft that no way will work with Xvid. No matter if the guy who made it says otherwise.
    Why? I have no idea.
    BTW, if anyone has chapter 34 in divX5 please let me know where I can get it. Or at least how can I encode that chapter in divX...

    Huh, why would GSpot report it as Divx 5 and Open DivX?

    Also nice hellbump.
