DivX 6.2.0 Beta 1

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

DivX 6 is available through two new product bundles: the DivX 6 Play Bundle and the DivX 6 Create Bundle. The DivX 6 Play Bundle contains everything you need to playback all types of DivX video, including the new DivX Media Format. The DivX 6 Create Bundle contains the DivX codec and DivX Converter enabling easy creation of DivX media.
Changes in DivX Codec 6.2.0 Beta 1:
- Internal resize now supports threading. Performance gains of over 40% can be seen when using the Balanced (default) encoding mode on a Pentium D Extreme Edition CPU and resizing anamorphic D1 material to square pixel (1:1 PAR) equivalent verus the same configuration with threading disabled.
- A new "Enhanced multithreading" performance option is available that can increase encoding rate under circumstances where the input to the encoder is not immediately available. Examples include production suites that render effects during exporting, transcoding a source format with a slower decoder, or encoding in applications with few pipeline optimizations.
- Typical performance improvement when running on Dual Core systems is around 16%. However, using our Pentium D Extreme Edition system to transcode HuffYUV source in Better quality mode we have seen encoding rate increase by up to 35% (equating to more than 11 frames per second!).
- "Enhance texture" is a new Psychovisual Enhancement method that improves quality for keyframes and reduces the appearance of stray blocks under fast motion. As with other Psychovisual Enhancement methods, the perceptual quality can be higher, although the PSNR metric RD performance is typically lower.
- There is now an MMX version of the MPEG quantization algorithm that may improve encoding rate up to 22% for older processors.

DivX codec 6.2.0 Beta 1 must be installed on top of DivX 6.1.1. During the beta period full DivX Pro functionality is available.

ATI Optimized Driver v1.6b

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

These are modified/hacked ATI Catalyst drivers. The drivers have been optimized with two things in mind, better Image Quality and more/stable frames per second when compared to the official Catalyst drivers from ATI!

[ ATI Optimized Driver v1.6b - 25 / 10 / 2004 ] by REGENERATION

* Based on the offical Catalyst 4.11beta (8.07b2)

* Two OpenGL drivers for your selection

* New OpenGL/DirectX tweaks

* Incredible performance under OpenGL games

* ATI’s new AI feature

* New Installer with GUI

* Doom III Bugfix (use Normal OGL for D3)

[ Known Issues ]

* Old OGL (OpenGL) has corruption under 16bit color quality mode in few cards

Workaround: Setup your OpenGL games to use 32bit color quality deep BEFORE installation (-32bpp in Counter-Strike

command-line will force 32bit)

* Use this driver by your own risk

This Driver is not supported by ATI Corporation.

* X800 unsupported with Old OGL (OpenGL)

Workaround: Use “Normal OGL”

ATI Optimized Driver v1.6

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Since future OmegaDrivers will not include few builds of OpenGL drivers and there is few incompatibles

with the new ATI drivers and CCC. but The NGO Group wont leave you behind!Introducing new version of the fastest ATI modified driver around:

Based on the offical Catalyst 4.10

Four OpenGL drivers for your selection

New OpenGL/DirectX tweaks

Incredible performance under OpenGL games

ATI’s new AI feature

Known issues:

Fastest OpenGL Driver (Option #3) has corruption under 16bit color quality mode

Workaround: Setup your OpenGL games to use 32bit color quality deep BEFORE installation (-32bpp in Counter-Strike command-line will force 32bit) or use OpenGL Driver Option #2

LAME MP3 Encoder 3.97 alpha 2004062506

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

LAME MP3 Encoder is the best mp3 encoder and is available for free! LAME originally stood for L AME A in’t an M p3 E ncoder. LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding.

You can use the LAME executable with RazorLAME interface or you can use the DLL with another software (AudioGrabber, CDEx etc). Some people prefer the combination CDEx or AudioGrabber LAME DLL.

In the archive are included both: exe and DLL.

Features of LAME MP3 Encoder:

- Many improvements in quality in speed over ISO reference software.

- MPEG1,2 and 2.5 layer III encoding.

- CBR (constant bitrate) and two types of variable bitrate, VBR and ABR.

- Encoding engine can be compiled as a shared library (Linux/UNIX), DLL or ACM codec (Windows).

- Free format encoding and decoding

- GPSYCHO: a GPL’d psycho acoustic and noise shaping model.

- Powerfull and easy to use presets.

- Quality is comparable to FhG encoding engines and substantially better than most other encoders.

- Fast! Encodes faster than real time on a PII 266 at highest quality mode.

- MP3x: a GTK/X-Window MP3 frame analyzer for both .mp3 and unencoded audio files.

Changes from LAME MP3 Encoder 3.96 b2 to LAME MP3 Encoder 3.96 Final:

- new quantization selection mode (used in ABR/CBR)

- set sfscale for ABR/CBR up to 160kbps

Lame MP3 Encoder 3.97 Released

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Lame 3.97 has been released. Following the great history of GNU naming, LAME originally stood for LAME Ain’t an Mp3 Encoder. LAME started life as a GPL’d patch against the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable of producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May 2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now LAME is the source code for a fully GPL’d MP3 encoder, with speed and quality to rival all commercial competitors. What’s New?


  • Many improvements in quality in speed over ISO reference software.

  • MPEG1,2 and 2.5 layer III encoding.

  • CBR (constant bitrate) and two types of variable bitrate, VBR and ABR.

  • Encoding engine can be compiled as a shared library (Linux/UNIX), DLL or ACM codec (Windows).

  • Free format encoding and decoding GPSYCHO: a GPL’d psycho acoustic and noise shaping model.

  • TMPGEnc Plus v2.521 (2.521.58.169)

    Sunday, May 11th, 2008

    TMPGEnc converts *.AVI files to MPEG-1, the format which is used in VideoCD. Using a variety of options, you can compress your video file to the highest quality. TMPGEnc enables you to adjust the bitrate, qantize matrix, GOP structure, interlace and many other parameters so that you can create most appropriate movie file for your specific purpose.Download

    TMPGEnc Plus 2.521 (2.521.58.169) September 26 2003


    Improved:


    [1] The new version of “CRI sofdec MPEG decoder” is included. Now, it is possible to open a maximum of 20 sequences instead of 8.

    [2] In the project wizzard, for the setting concerning the bitrate, the file size in MB will be shown instead of the duration for “CD-R 74min (VCD/SVCD)” and for”CD-R 80min (VCD/SVCD)”.

    [3] When error occurs during “Prefetch Video”, the details will be shown.

    [4] When using “DirectShow Multimedia Reader”, from now on only Linear PCM, 8/16 bit, 1/2 will be accepted for the audio input.


    Fixed:


    [1] When “CRI sofdec MPEG decoder” was chosen in the VFAPI plugin, errors could occur to open sequence files via “DirectShow Multimedia File Reader”

    [2] Problem occuring when using an external MP2/MP3 encoder. For certain settings, the CRC value or the error protection could be changed .

    [3] When the audio was re-sampled in high quality mode, if the input was monoral, errors could occur.

    [4] During the encoding, some “Drag and drop” files could be accepted from the Explorer.
