HDX4 was designed to deliver DVD (MPEG-2) quality at a remarkably lower bitrate resulting in a much smaller file size. E.g. a full-length movie in standard DVD (MPEG-2) format takes up approximately five gigabytes of space. The same movie, encoded with HDX4, needs just less than 700 megabytes - making it compact enough to fit on a standard CD-R(W).

HDX4 dramatically advances audio and video compression, enables the interoperable distribution of content and provides a scalable and unified framework for a wide variety of different devices, e.g. mobile phones, handhelds, PDAs, TV set-top boxes, DVD players, PCs and many more.


What is HDX4 today?

The HDX4 codec today is the most versatile MPEG-4 implementation available.

HDX4 features fastest video de- and encoding in comparison to all other competing solutions available on the market.

HDX4 supports all common resolutions: Starting with 32 x 32, up to 1920 x 1080 (HDTV) and even more.

HDX4 supports PAL, NTSC, Wide Screen, CIF, QCIF and all popular resolutions as well as custom user-defined picture dimensions

All widely used bit rates from 16 kb/s to 4 Mb/s, ranging from very small bitrates for 3GPP compatible devices to HDTV bit rates. Accept only the highest quality video storage.

HDX4 allows least-cost implementation of MPEG-4 de- and encoding in hardware.

HDX4 offers VfW and DirectShow support for Windows.

Solutions for Linux, Windows CE 5.0, Irix, HP-UX & SunOS are also available...

The Home Theater profile enables interoperability with MPEG-4 capable DVD players, set-top boxes and gaming consoles.

je tiens à préciser haut et fort que les denières version de DVDdecrypter ne sont plus compatibles avec les anciennes. J'ai du rebrousser chemin pour retomber sur mes pieds et retrouver des rips automatisés....

Une suggestion pour Cdoris, ajouter la dernière version compatible RIAM et y mettre une couleur particulière. 

Hey,

time for another mkvtoolnix release: 1.4.1. This is a pure bug fix release. No new features. However, there are still a couple of known bugs left that I have to address, especially regarding file concatenation (e.g. problems with chapters & "linked" files; playback issues of concatenated files). Those will be fixed later.

Here are the usual links...

Here's what's been done since 1.4.0:
-------------------------------------------------------------
2005-03-15 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* Released v1.4.1.

2005-03-14 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: AC3 detection was broken in rare cases.

2005-03-13 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: If the TEMP environment variable contains spaces then the calls to mkvmerge when adding files failed.

2005-03-06 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Extracting the FPS from some AVC MP4 files did not work.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: Appending + splitting was segfaulting if used together and at least one split occured after a track has been appended.

2005-03-02 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: Added more descriptive error messages if two tracks cannot be concatenated because "their parameters do not match".

2005-02-28 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mkvmerge: bug fix: A failing call to posix_fadvise will only turn its usage off for that one file and not abort mkvmerge completely.
* mmg: bug fix: When "appending" a file all tracks where added to the end of the track list making it unnecessarily difficult to concatenate similar structured files. Now the tracks from the "appended" files are inserted into the track list after their counterparts from the file this new one is appended to.

2005-02-27 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: An "appended" file could not be removed if there were two tracks that we not separated by a track from another file in the track list box.
* mmg: bug fix: The check whether or not a file might be overwritten while splitting is active has been fixed.
* mmg: bug fix: Improved the word wrapping of the tooltips on Windows.
* mmg: bug fix: It was possible to select a file for appending even though no file was added first.
* mkvmerge: bug fix: mkvmerge was wrongly outputting large numbers of warnings when Remuxing AVC/h.264 video from a Matroska file.
* mmg: bug fix: The job queue was not loaded on startup on Windows Unicode builds (another wxWidgets 2.5.3 problem).

2005-02-26 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>
* mmg: bug fix: The job status in the job runner dialog was broken on Unicode builds on all systems.
* mmg: bug fix: "Splitting by time" was not selectable on Windows Unicode builds (problem with wxWidgets 2.5.3).
* mmg: bug fix: mkvmerge's output during muxing was not converted from UTF-8.
* mmg: bug fix: The default extension added when the user doesn't give one is different in wxWidgets 2.4.x and 2.5.x. It should always be .mkv and not .mka.
-------------------------------------------------------------

Changes:
- remembering playlist items can be turned off in the context menu
- fixed shaders randomly disappearing from the menu
- aspect ratio presets at view/video frame/override aspect ratio (default, 4:3, 5:4, 16:9)
- ctrl held during resizing keeps the window tight around the video

capture mode:
- better compatibility with terratec cinergy and other cards which output audio themselves
- the television standard can be set indirectly by the country code at the open device dialog (there is no other way in directshow...)
- a deinterlacer filter is loaded when the height is larger than 288 lines, only for previewing (the following color formats are supported: yuy2/uyvy/yv12/i420/iyuv)
- if there is only one video format offered by the video capture pin (320x240 for example) then mpc adds several other standard resolutions to the combo box

vmr9 renderless: (changes by Haali)
- bilinear + bicubic resizers, using pixel shader 2.0 (3d mode only)
- speed issues on secondary display may be fixed now (the file has to be opened there)

webserver:
- fixed the bug of serving external files from certain paths
- cgi support (tested with php only)
- default page can be set (index.html, etc.)

- added support for the mpeg4 avc media type

- The virtualdub and avisynth plugin can auto-reload subtitle files now, just like dvobsub has been able to already. Watch out for this during the encoding.
- The lockup with dvbosub 2.34/2.35 and the overlay mixer is hopefully fixed.
