I saw the positive reviews, and wanted to do some avi's for nostalgic purposes! I tried avi.NET some years ago and saw loads of errors such as mci, options on the programs failing to be available(greyed out), out of synch audio, etc so 3.5.1.0 was my last try. I don't want to get into the avi.NET vs FU Wizard vs AutoGK things, but what I'll say is in that order the quality comes with this last version. Avi.NET's was exceptional for an xvid compared to these others. I'm sure that vaq thing patch in Xvid screwed up a lot of my image quality in other encoders I'd used before. The guy who developed aviNET- Clone.ad, really got it right when he put out his last version. Kudos to him. This software had it continued might have opened any file input, not just DVD's, but Video.NET continued this potential before ceasing development in 2014.
Looking at the Xvid 1.2.2 on the 2 pass encode options avi.NET didn't use adaptive quantization nor chroma enabled, just Home profile enabled and no vaq. The output file colors were crisp and sharp looking as good as many h264 files I'd done at similar bitrates and the audio superb with high frequencies kept at 192kbps and in synch. I will encode all my old DVD's using this excellent software. I used Avisynth 2.6.0 with it and frame served the image much better than 2.5.8 older version. It may work in Win8 & Win10 running as a 32bit program mode or as a portable which is easy to do. |
