![]() ![]() as before these became my test clips and i loaded them into divx and handbrake and created 3mb/s 720x480 encodes. I loaded these dvd's into xvid4psp, cut a segment of each, applied qtgmc to deinterlace, 10bit Denoise MD for denoising and exported the results with x264 lossless. these sources have a few things in common: the cameras used to film them were clearly budget cameras even in their era, the lighting guy needed to go back to school, the encoding software used was one step above pathetic and the dvd's need a lot of work to clean them up. for this test i took an adult dvd named Sodomania 3 and a couple of greek comedy dvd's. Where the divx hevc encoder is the clear winner is when you have a source that's of less than perfect quality and you need to retain as much detail as possible, in those cases you would be insane to go with x264. ![]() Likewise with SD spec cartoons, like south park, even at less than 2mb/s one really needs to split hairs to say one is better than the other. If you start bit starving your encode and say try and go down to something completely silly like 4mb/s for 1080p, then the differences become quite clear and the divx offering wins hands down but since i don't have a bit staring fetish the point is a moot one for me. If you're starting with a really high quality source, like say the blu-ray of Lincoln (the 2012 release) some of the adult blu-rays released by Digital Playground or Private, and used ample bit rate, say 12mb/s for 1080p or went down to 8mb/s for 720p, then i would say the two test encoders trade punches while the divx hevc encoder may retain some additional detail the difference isn't that great that a casual viewer would notice or would care. In test after test, depending on the source, the results in many ways were close enough that i could make an argument to use either encoder. and my honest opinion in divx hevc vs x264 is that there is no clear cut answer. i don't bash x264 and/or it's developers just to be a dick or to troll, i offer my honest opinion. I guess then you guys haven't been paying attention. So who wins this shootout, divx's hevc or x264 with the settings maxed out? i bet the people that are reading this are expecting me to use this as an opportunity to bash x264 and it's developers and proclaim divx's offering the clear winner. Ref=8:b-adapt=2:direct=auto:me=tesa: subme=11:merange=24:analyse=i4x4,i8x8:trellis=2:no-dct-decimate=1įor this test i wanted to stick with legally free software, so nothing from encoders sourced via questionable methods. 8 reference frames, no dct decimate, all the b frame options at the highest settings including auto, deblocking 0,0 i also used 3 b frames, psy-rd, aq and mb-tree were all at there default settings and trellis was at 2 partition type was set to "some", here is the encoder options line: ![]() Handbrake, using x264 with custom settings, such as sub me = 11, tesa. I then loaded the clips into one of the following applications for encoding:ĭivx converter, using the hevc 1080p profile for the sake of a fair comparison, all my test clips were created by firing up xvid4psp, loading the source, clipping atest segment and exporting it with x264 lossless, which resulted in testing clips of about 5 gigs for about 4 minutes of content. That's right folks, now your life will be complete, because I have decided to review divx's h265 encoder.įor this review i tested with a variety of sources, including adult HD content sourced from blu-ray's, main stream blu-rays, cartoons like south park and some dvd sourced SD content.
