XviD 23-09-2002: less detail than 04-09? (using MPEG)

That's a fairly dramatic difference.. it sounds as though more blocks are being skipped than in the previous build, since ME hasn't changed in the stable releases. @Koepi, do you think this is TOOSMALL_LIMIT again? I can't recall whether you've been setting it back to 1, or if it's 1 by default in CVS. -h

I think I looked into that and it was changed... but I'll double-check now! :) regards, Koepi EDIT: F**K! You're right. Why isn't it changed in CVS? Now I've some encodes to redo :-/ (well, ok, I won't re-rent those DVDs ;) ). Thanks for the hint Dan, Koepi

Sob! I think it will be very useful to draw up a simple .TXT file to note a post-CVS patch list, or as said to apply officially those changes that are suitable to be permanent (in CVS). :D too simple advice, but sure efficient... (D'oh! No more nightmare builds, please! :()

Aww, I just finished an encode using the 23-09 build. :( But, the results were still very good so I don't think I'll spend another 6 hours encoding it again.

The differences aren't huge, and to speak of "nightmare builds" is sure way off. I'll build a new binary - maybe tomorrow, maybe later - but for so long, I have good results, too. No sideeffects which I would describe as annoying, at least not as bad that I _really_ reencode anything because of this. So please, stay within the boundaries. Regards, Koepi

Moonwalker, of course, as usual - that didn't change so it didn't make it into the changelog ;) Regards, Koepi EDIT: i forgot to mention that I put up Nic's standalone directshow filter installer on my site, too... save some space on your CDs when just burning the playback filter away ;)

@Koepi Nice to have a new build from you (with fixed TOO_SMALL_LIMIT again) ;). Gonna start torturing it with some more "weird" filtering tries asap ;)... Thanks and best regards my friend, iago EDIT: Btw, I got some really good results using Koepi's 23092002-1 build too, and I find it totally unnecessary to encode them with the 04102002-1 build again. (If you had really annoying problems with the older binary -> OK, but why reencode a film that's already come out good ?! ;))

@iago: as usual I'm eager to see some of your testing results :) They always give some improvements on DVD encoding :) Best regards, Koepi
