Codec Xvid aggiornato alla nuova versione!!! Uscito da poco e già nei nostri download...

Xvid is an open-source research project focusing on video compression and is a collaborative development effort. All code is released under the terms of the GNU GPL license.

Download: Xvid codec 1.2.1 stable



The Xvid video codec implements MPEG-4 Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile standards. It permits compressing and decompressing digital video in order to reduce the required bandwidth of video data for transmission over computer networks or efficient storage on CDs or DVDs. Due to its unrivalled quality Xvid has gained great popularity and is used in many other GPLed applications, like e.g. Transcode, MEncoder, MPlayer, Xine and many more.


Goals
Xvid has been created to promote the adoption of open standards, namely MPEG-4 video, and to permit the interoperable creation and exchange of digital video between different software applications and a wide range of devices.

A major goal of the project is to further trigger the creation of GPLed applications and to support the Free Software movement. Hence, the Xvid source code is published under the terms of the GNU General Public License, which requires that combined and derived works must be distributed as a whole under the GPL again.

By sharing our research results and providing the source code of Xvid, we aim at creating a platform for students and interested engineers to exchange their visions and ideas. The Xvid project is targeted at further stimulating science and research in the area of digital image and video processing. In result, Xvid has become subject of university lectures and is also covered by scientific research papers from all over the world.
