又有来扯淡的,sigh
帖点英文砖头,爱咋咋吧
RV10, where should I begin? I know some people really like it, and it leaves a visually pleasing impression, but when you compare the results to the source, it leaves to be desired. And in my opinion, the progress since the last test has been less than stellar.
I was once again not impressed with the progress DivX has made. It's nice to have additional features available, but quality wise I just don't see one year of development. Plus, if you spend as much time using settings that are called insane by the codec, I'd expect to see something. Though, this time there were no problems with Futurama, something which was a problem in the last test.
WMV9: With WMV9 being standardized as VC1, we'll probably not see more features in it, but having a standardized bitstream and featureset doesn't mean there cannot be any progress. It's just that I have not really seen it since the beta. But, detail wise some things have changed and I recall rating WMV9 in the "less details" area, which it no longer is (if you look beyond the problems that WMV9 had on my machine). But, if I were a broadcaster or potential user of HD DVD/ Blu-Ray, seeing the result of WMV9 and ateme's AVC codecs, I'd definitely go for the AVC standard.
Finally, XviD, one year after taking the crown, had to give it back. It would've won again, if it were not for ateme's AVC codecs. So, if you make DVD backups now that need to work on a standalone or slower machine, XviD is still a very good option, but I guess we'll see AVC capable decoder chips in 2005.
......But, whereas details are smoothed out in RV10, they appear a bit blocky in HDX4. I'd probably have tended to give RV10 a better rating because of the almost complete lack of blocks, but taking into account how the source looks, I'm afraid a visually pleasing impression is just not good enough if the source is stripped of a lot of details.
......3ivX and DivX once again performed similarly, and RV10 delivered the usual performance: no blocks, but a definite lack of details the farther you go from the camera.
