MPEG-4 on DVD playes

that sucks. XVID works but Dvix 3.11 (which alot of people still say has better visual quality than divx 5.02) wont. Well I need to get to a street corner and get to work. If I can find the right lipstick and stockings I can get myself that player by next week.

Divx3.11 support is coming in the next firmware upgrade, due in a week or so according to a Kiss press release.

People that say divx 3.11 has better quality are just fools that are afraid to switch to something new ;p

Well whichever they choose, it doesn't change the hell that is generational loss. And divx 3.11 support will save me form the pain of re encoding my divx 3.11 video files. But now onto something else. How much longer till there are some mpeg-4 DVD's? I mean, right now this is good for watching fansubs, but I want to see an MPEG-4 DVD jsut to see exactly what it would look like.

hopefully and probably never.
Dont force me to talk about mpeg4 hddvd, I'm on bad terms with that.

I don't mean HDDVD's I mean regular ones.

well, HDDVD is the only upgrade you'll see for DVD in the next few years, they arent going to suddenly decide to make all players obsolete and rewrite the DVD standard for mpeg4.
Besides, mpeg4 based hddvd would use the same 4.7gb discs that we already use, so its almost the same as what you're saying, except higher resolution and GAY.

I don't think a regualr DVD with MPEG-4 would work. The resolution would be higher and the MPEG-4 would look good. but since the resolution is higher the bitrate would have to be the same, and that means that the blocknoise would be worse. Didn't they make a new DVD player that has disks that are 30 gigs or something like that?

Yes ideally blu-ray discs would be used with Mpeg4, but.. well read the discussion here and become enlightened
