Inc released v . 5 . 1 of their famous video codec including DivX Player 2 . 5 . The new version includes a lot improvements and bugfixes . New: Added a new high-quality psychovisual mode that includes the following features: Texture cortex masking and rate distortion algorithm Hybrid mode (with texture cortex masking) Speed optimization Chroma operation (this option is not enabled by default for performance reasons; to enable it, create an empty file in C: called "DivxPvShapingChroma . txt" for "fast" mode and "DivxPvSimpleChroma . txt" for slow mode; testing shows only 1-2% gains in JND tests) The decoder has been rearchitected and is now 10 to 30% faster on all CPU platforms . The decoder now supports automatic post-processing during video playback . Added new features to the rate control modes of the encoder, including: A complexity vector log file An API that allows real-time control of rate control An API that allows forced I-frame insertion Improved: Redesigned encoder GUI . The new GUI is more accessible and simplifies overall usage . DivX 3 compatibility . (There were no problems detected on any of the more than 60 hours of test content . ) Performance of Nth Pass strategy planning performance . Fixed: A bug that caused the quantizer to overshoot the bitrate following a transition to a complex scene . A bug that limited the interframe change in quantizer to the ideal quantizer or plus or minus 2 . A bug in RGB32 to YUV conversion on Pentium 4 machines . A minor bug that affected multiple CPU configuration . A bug with the rate control video buffer verifier (VBV) that would enforce a "3 sec" max bitrate . Several bugs that affected Nth Pass encoding strategy planning . A bug that caused a different number of frames to be reported between different passes in VirtualDub . A bug that caused motion vector (MV) reuse to be non-functional . A bug that caused problems when MV reuse and psychovisual mode were used together . Several bugs with the installer . A bug that caused a crash when setting crop/resize values .
