XVD- Has anyone else used this incredible software?

[lbrayton]

The video quality of XVD at a bitrate of 1500 exceeds both Divx and Windows Media at 2300. In particular take a look at the burner software that comes bundled with it- it writes the video file, adds all the necessary codecs, includes a video player and creates an autowrite file to create a disk that will run on virtually any computer without installing any software -- it runs entirely off of the disk -- and runs automatically when inserted.

Sounds like a version of the Xvid codec to me (very similar to DivX).

The two are unrelated. I have been using XVD for about 2 1/2 years now and every other codec that I have tried just doesn't look as good. I recently encoded the same hour long clip using Windows Media video 9 at a bitrate of 2300, Divx version 6 at 2400 and XVD at 1500- All with 2 pass encoding. It was no contest, XVD was absolutely superior and came the closest to matching the original source material.

Nothing new here, XVD has been around since 2003. Received only so-so reviews and most find it inferior to the mainstream ones like wmp, xvid, divx and of course h264.

Ok, an unbeliever. Let the masses decide...

If it does not work with BTV/BM it is kind of pointless

No affiliation with creators of the software, I just tend to get aggressive with scoffers like bigbird999...
