OpenDivX support in MPlayer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See http://www.projectmayo.com for details on Open DivX codecs. It's an opensource DivX-like video codec written for windows. I did a fast hack to get it compile under linux (it has some dependency on windows header files and some visualc extensions). Decoder: ~~~~~~~~ Now it's used for AVI files with fourcc 'dvx1' You can adjust Quality level using the -divxq option. Valid values: postprcc_level = 0 ----> no post processing (fastest) postproc_level = 1 ~ 9 ----> horizontal Y deblocking only postproc_level = 10 ~ 19 ----> hor. + ver. Y deblocking postproc_level = 20 ~ 29 ----> hor. + ver. Y and hor. C deblocking postproc_level = 30 ~ 39 ----> hor. + ver. Y and hor.+ver. C deblocking postproc_level = 40 ~ 49 ----> h+v Y, h+v C deblock and Y deringing postproc_level = 50 ~ 59 ----> h+v Y, h+v C deblock and Y+C deringing Note: last level (Chroma deringing) sometimes crashes. Encoder: ~~~~~~~~ There is a very alpha hack to convert mpeg video into OpenDivX .avi files. You should disable audio, and select 'odivx' video device as output: mplayer input.mpg -nosound -vo odivx -encode output.avi Yes, I know that it's unusable now, it's only for testing purposes.
