XviD Codec
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.
The XviD codec isn t yet available for the Mac, so to play XviD videos on your Mac
you first need to install QuickTime
and the DivX codec. Then you need to
download and install the delegate component available for your Mac OS version:
The. sit file contains a QuickTime component, which delegates the playback of XviD videos
to the DivX codec installed on your system. To install the XviD delegate component on
Mac OS X, put the XVIDDelegate.component file in the /Library/QuickTime folder and then reboot.
If you re using Mac OS 8/9, put the XVIDDelegatePPC file in the QuickTime Extensions folder
in the Macintosh System s Extension folder and then reboot.
