What's Fixed in DivX:
Fixed:
* 1 Pass and Nth Pass? undersized file should be fixed
* Certain dark sequences would produce a long period of frames using a Quantizer of 31.
* Psychovisual Enhancement field sometimes displayed "Custom" instead of Light when unselected
* "Do not prompt with errors and warnings" would select itself when random characters were entered in the CLI after the "-key" option
* When "-d 3" option was entered in the CLI field, "Source interlace" became blank.
* Max bitrate would not update at times.
* DirectShow decoder postprocessing slider became disabled with ATI radeon 9700 Graphics card
* DirectShow decoder would "fast forward" when seeking backwards. This could cause synch issues when re-encoding DivX Files using the DivX Decoder Filter.
What's Fixed in EKG:
* Windows 98 OS would give an Error when EKG was exited.
* Clicking on FFwd (Rewind)/Left End (Right End) in "Actual Size" preview window switches the screen to Main window
* Seeking for EKG was horribly slow. Updated the DivX Decoder to enable more efficent seeking.
* Clicking on FFwd (Rewind)/Left End (Right End) in "Actual Size" preview window would switch the screen to Main window.
* Moving "Legend" icon would create brown colored patches
* EKG would not warn the user when electing a log file that does not match the video file.
* Garbled (noisy and slow ..) audio heard during the seeking of preview video
* Seeking to the request frame from the previous keyframe upon pressing "previous frame" button on the EKG.
* "Seeking" to a previous frame" button was disabled upon pressing "seek to first frame".
* "Seek to next frame" button was disabled upon pressing "seek to last frame".
Known Issues
* A Frame selected for editing and the respective displayed scene video preview may be offset by a single frame.
What's New in DivX Schizo beta 2:
What's Fixed:
* Fixed a problem where the DivX Codec and EKG Beta Trial would not work unless
you were a registered user of DivX Pro. Now anyone can beta test the Schizo
release, even people who are not registered users of DivX Pro.
What's New in DivX Schizo beta 1:
What's New:
* EKG (Electrokompressiongraph) application now comes bundled with DivX Pro.
What's Fixed:
* Various cosmetic fixes in the Encoder GUI
o Do not prompt Error unchecked as default fixed.
o Light Psychovisual enabled itself automatically when exiting the CLI field.
o Max bitrate reset itself to x10 the average when going in the "profile"
tab
* MPEG-4 "type Indicator" correctly set according to selected encoding
parameters
* No more green first frame at very high bitrates.
* Crashes with K6-2 should be fixed now
* Decoder updates the display to the appropriate frame when seeking
* Decoder remembers the postprocessing settings
* Fixed some memory leaks related to Psychovisual and nth Pass mode
* Nth pass RC is tweaked to minimize the usage of high quantizer
* Nth pass doesn't create an empty frames at the beginning of the clip
* Brightness/Saturation sliders now working correctly.
What's Changed:
* The new RC doesn't use Q=1 frames anymore
* No stuffing used, bitrate can be too low in some extreme cases.
* Strategy planning for rate control is much faster now
* Better tracking of the planned RC strategy creating more consistent quality
The Quality Assurance (QA) period will run for about two weeks starting Friday, 2003-03-21. All the results must be e-mailed back to us by Monday, 2003-04-07 at the latest. Intermediate results are welcome. Please submit your bugs through our bug submission form and you can discuss your bugs and feedback with others and us in the DivX Beta Release Feedback Forum.
Thanks, have fun, and don't hurt yourself.
NOTE: Because the Schizo beta release includes DivX Pro level features, this is a time-limited release. It will expire after 30 days
This is beta software. Caveat cupitor. For personal use only.
