DivX;-) or XviD?

[nilayz]

Just wondering whether people support DivX;-) or XviD....?

divx has spyware, and i haven't seen much quality in divx. nvere heard of xvid, not WMA since that's a audio format, and not WMV in case that's what you meant, since WVM doesn't compress well. i sometimes use RealMedia, mostly for small videos, so i will vote for that.

Ive used a couple different packages of divx and none of them had spyware on them. The program used to view divx is so much easier to use and faster than Windows Media Player or RealMedia, so I use divx everytime.

Meh, I never compress anything past .zip

Yeah... I meant WMV....

Couldn't edit the options...

I use both, but I prefer Dvix... Easier to use

it says divx is spyware: http://www.nanomessiah.com/dvd-backup/divx-spyware.html

Thats only one package for converting to divx. Whip out your favorite filesharing program and youll find at least 5 completley different DivX compressors. I personally use WinMPG (legally free of course)

I agree.... DivX installs quite a lot of adware alongwith it.

because i dont compress movies!!!!!

I don't compress anything myself... but for when I happen to.. uhh.. :cough: stumble across things on the internet... I tend to prefer XviD. I never really was totally pleased with the quality of DivX, but I guess it depends a lot on the compressor and not just the format...

It seems the future is H.264 though
