AmigaOS build patch by Fredrik Wikstrom Xvid is 'lossy' compression but aims at removing just those picture details that are not necessary for human perception. While Xvid compresses video very well, it can do so without causing visible quality loss and by retaining a sharper picture than other codecs do. This makes transmitting the video over a network faster and saves you a lot of space on your computer's hard disk. It can compress video at a ratio of 200:1 or more compared to uncompressed video. The Xvid codec compresses video files to make them smaller. Also, home entertainment devices like TVs or DVD/BD players can handle Xvid video. The Xvid software runs on many platforms, and most popular video players support it. Your computer will still have plenty of power left for your other tasks!Ī significant advantage of Xvid compressed video files is that they play almost anywhere. Recording video from a camera in real-time or playing back HD video smoothly are not a problem.
Xvid runs very fast as it is optimized for the latest CPUs. Xvid Codec Pack is a free video codec that's strong in compression and quality.
