Living Room / Re: What is appropriate content for DonationCoder?

« on: January 04, 2008, 06:49 AM »

 In respect to everyone's opinion my opinion is more important than everyone else's and i say don't change a thing.
This thread was good for expressing your opinion.If you don't like someone's views simply talk behind their back,it's how
society has gotten along for centuries.My advice to all is to watch Godfather one and two,don't watch three it will only
make one dumber.

My prediction is that they will focus 08 on propeller,their digg clone.From what i hear the update that is soon to come is going to be really good.

Just a prediction though.From the looks of their wikipedia page they don't look like they have a whole lot else going for them.

FlvRecorder-does what the name implies,records those hard to get protocols,i.e. RTMP 
Net Transport-use it every day
HiDownload-Has more features than Net Transport,download youtube,google,etc,but for some reason
i just don't use it as much as Net Transport

VideoGet-downloads from a whole variety of online video sites then converts them using ffmpeg

Out of all of these i use Net Transport everyday,just more fluid,been using it for few years now.
A download program i want but is just too darn expensive is Replay AV,nice features but $49.95 !


And of course all of these would almost be worthless to me if it wasn't for Urlsnooper.

What is in the DivX codec that isnt in the XviD codec? I mean, XviD is free and does what I need.

-Josh (December 11, 2007, 07:20 AM)

I think Divx is aligning itself with more of a user friendly experience.In other words they supply the codec and a pretty simple frontend for converting.Xvid is nice,but it's for the people that want to fire up Virtualdub or whatever your frontend of choice is,and then it's what settings do i choose ? what does this and that mean ? You have to get online and sort through forum postings and guides,etc.

Divx as a company has been making some interesting investments,they just purchased Main Concept which means they're getting their foot in the H.264 door.That and MainConcept Licenses Core Codec Technologies to Adobe for Adobe® Flash® Player.So Divx now has a stake in Adobe flash as well.

So in the end you have hardware support (desktop players,portable players),flash support,H.264,etc.I predict Divx to be a powerhouse in 08.

While i use Divx i have to admit i've never used it on hardware,though it promises hardware support.Has anyone out there used a DVD player with Divx support and can you also use Xvid,if not that's also a big minus for Xvid.

What's in the fine print is the additional $9.99 for the mpeg 2 plugin,and you are gonna want that,it's how you convert your DVD's to Divx.As far as calling it Pro,the Divx codec is free,which means you play Divx,it you go Pro,it means you can convert to Divx.

I believe slysoft is almost always running some sort of discount be it 10 or 20 % ,20 % is pretty good though.If they don't announce it publicly on their site,scan over some multimedia forums,afterdawn,etc.Oh and this time of year is a good time to go to google blog search and enter terms like xmas promo,christmas promo,promo code,holiday discount,etc.You can also get an rss feed that updates when these terms are found.Good way to find deals.

Oh and slysofts software is worth every penny,i have clone cd and anydvd,no regrets.
