X264 or xvid which is better

And during this time it has grown considerably in quality and it has arguably surpassed DivX in terms of video quality and compression. Xvid is an alternative codec library that follows the MPEG4 standard. It is often due to the relatively small file size of the resulting video file. Another, more recent, codec standard that is rapidly gaining popularity is H. But in order to encode into the H. X is just one of the few software libraries that you can use to encode videos into H.

X boasts to be the best H. X is only necessary when you are encoding the video from any format to H. You do not need it during playback as the resulting file can be played as long as you have an H.

With Xvid, this is also true, but not always. Reaper 6. FindVUK 1. SubSync 0. Recent DVD Hacks. Sony BDP-S Panasonic DVD-S Philips BDP Samsung BD-H LG BP Pioneer DV New media comments. Princo DVD-R. Many people struggle to tell the difference between the two encoders.

There is a major quality difference between the videos encoded in Xvid and X The difference between Xvid and X is that Xvid is an encoder that follows MPEG-4 part 2 video coding standard while X is an encoder that encodes video streams into H.

To clearly know the difference, one should know what video coding actually is. Video encoding is a process of converting source formal data usually in RAW format which occupies large capacity into small sized Docx or H. It can even be done by lowering the parameters of encoding in the same format it was encoded.

The source format is the final output to one or more specific encoded files. If the quality is set the same for both Xvid and X, video encoded in X will be of smaller size than the video encoded in the Xvid encoder. Also, if the file size is set the same for the encoders, the video quality of X encoder will be better than the video quality of the Xvid encoder.

What is Xvid? Xvid is not a format. Quite odd if that wouldn't yield similar or better results. There's still quantization h isn't the same as either hstyle or mpeg-style , and no bilinear motion compensation though I don't see people complaining about xvid qpel causing artifacts. I have heard from people experimenting with libavcodec where it's completely configurable that using SATD for motion estimation can cause blocking, and the exact DCT is preferred.
