Just want to let everyone know that Koepi's Site has moved to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.koepi.info/xvid.html" target="_blank">http://www.koepi.info/xvid.html</a> and that there is a new version 1.2.2 on his site.

Please take note that the website of the biulder "Koepi" is gone. <br/> <br/><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml</a> <-- no longer available <br/> <br/>There is now only advertisments at that website.

Xvid is a MPEG-4 video codec. So is DivX. Xvid is free and open source, DivX isn't (though it was based on Xvid). <br/> <br/>Xvid is superior to DivX in quality, speed and compatibility, but DivX isn't far behind in quality.

i can see you

Seems to work fine for me, thanks..

Get a grip guys - XviD is free; DivX costs money. Simple as that.
XviD is excellent, thank you Koepi!

If people r happy with XviD, let they b.
It's still in development stage, so can,t b compared with DviX.
XviD has it's own advantages, and it is not a crap

much better than DIVX - despite what another moron posted earlier.

XviD works GREAT on my system!!! EXCELLENT quality!!! ;-)
A HUGE THANKS to developers!!!

Happy New Year!!! :-)

Josh u are a fucking idiot....I hope u realize that its people like u who fuck the world up for the rest of us.

Xvid DOES NOT COMPETE with professionally created, maintained, marketed Divx.

Xvid really is a pain and has delayed the acceptance and spread of standardized MPEG-4, Divx.

Xvid is for kids who like to play with software, but it totally unprofessional and NOT industry standard.

Fortunatelly, Divx, which has to deal with ALL of the marketing efforts to get compresssed video support in standard DVD players and is really breaking through in that area. That has to cost a fortune to do.

Divx Player is free and Divx Pro is really cheap, about $40.00 with upgrades forever. If you want professionals, support, people marketing to DVD makers to include their compressed video formats and support compressed video, DON'T USE THE HACKY, UNPREDICTABLE XVID. It is stupid and hurts all of us.

If there are cheapskates who think that XVID is free, it isn't, it cost and cost us all plenty. Divx is NOT Microsoft and if a group is trying to do something special and compete in the market place, PLEASE SUPPORT THEM.

You see the cost of Xvid anytime you see a stand alone DVD player that has no compressed video support. You see the cost of Xvid anytime you see limited resources for professional development and marketing for Divx.
You see the cost of Xvid for all of that crappy non-standard garbage that gets distributed that is compatible with nothing.
You see the cost of Xvid when cable fees go up because they are NOT using an standard compressed video format by a professional organization like Divx and the bandwidth is so much higher along cable lines to play movies and WE ALL PAY FOR THAT.

Anyone who says that Xvid is faster or better than Divx is a moron who is ignorant on how to use Divx.

Xvid users really hurt serious programmers and a small company trying to do things the right way and finally, dispite Xvid's nonsense, is getting more stand alone DVD players to support the format.

If anyone has some additions and changes to Divx, than do something positive for us all and get involved with Divx and Divx Labs. Get active on the forums, become a beta user. You can go directly to Divx Labs and speak directly to the developers. They are a small company trying to do big things.

Don't use Xvid. It hurts us all.

Jon

It makes all the video work! unlike all the other cr*p stuff i've installed.

Works great, I can *finally* play my .ogm files.
