[XviD-devel] pre0 milestone

No, most defiantly not.  However I am aware that the individuals, who
hang out here, will accept that their xvid encode will not play on their
stand alone DVD player, due to a non compliant bitstream.  Unfortunately
the 99.99% of the people who are interested in decoding video, don't
necessarily understand it.  What I am afraid of is that the codec will
loose out in the mainstream as the general public will loose confidence
in it, and that would be a real big shame.

If this route was pursed, then I believe it could be marked by a
user_data() section in the code 6.2.2.1, to allow any hardware players
to gracefully decline to play the disk.

Just my opinion

Jim

Hi,

Jim,
are you proposing we just code for your needs?

*scratching head*

We discussed that stuff on IRC and those things which produce 
non-standard-profile streams _could_ make their way into the codec - 
with a flag indicating the status: XVID_NONSTANDARD or similar. In vfw 
(which concerns you as a windows user) it would be an extra tab called 
"NONSTANDARD COMPLIANT FEATURES".

But that's still undecided. I still vote for it, as it's fun to play 
around with that.
