\nSix months ago, we took a sample of 146 movies that were listed at some of popular Torrent websites to see which video compression method was most widely used. 125 movies (85.6%) were compressed with Xvid. Surprisingly, DivX3 had the second place.

  • Xvid … 125 movies (85.6%)<\/li>\n
  • DivX3 … 11 movies (7.53%)<\/li>\n
  • DivX5 … 8 movies (5.48%)<\/li>\n
  • DivX4 … 1 movie (0.68%)<\/li>\n
  • 3ivx … 1 movie (0.68%)<\/li>\n

    \nWhat was more surprisingly is that none of the movies in the sample was compressed with DivX 6, which was first introduced in June, 2005.<\/p>\n

    Thanks to Christoph N\u00c3\u00a4geli of Switzerland, Mac users have been able to use the most popular MPEG-4-based video codec. This ‘Xvid QuickTime Component’ is not a standalone application. Rather it’s a script that can be run by QuickTime Pro or other equivalent programs. There currently exist both PPC version and Intel-Mac version of Xvid component separately.<\/p>\n

    In this VTC, we use an MPEG-2 video file to explain some of the features that are available in ‘Xvid QuickTime Component.’ Some of those features include <\/p>\n

    key interval, 2-pass encoding, HQ Search, B-Frames, Q Pel, GMC, Trellis, Optimize Chroma, H.263 Quantizer and MPEG Quantizer.
