I disagree!!

It's a very forward-thinking move. The scene should scrap Xvid entirely and move to x264 (like they have with HD).

XVid/DivX / .avi are way past their sell by date.

x264 / .mkv is the future of video encoding.

Maybe for people like you and I but therer is still a HUGE market for people without HDTV's and slow connections man. Honestly I think your nuts for even saying that. No offense.

and let's not forget about all those Divx players that cost 20€, that everybody has one at their living room.

No offence taken Detale. But I wasn't just talking about HD. For non-HD stuff with smaller file sizes, the picture quality is better with x264 than Xvid/Divx. Furthermore, people's internet connections world-wide are getting faster every day and more and more people will be able to download larger files more easily.

That's true. I've got two of them. Both are kaput and don't work anymore. That's why I bought a Popcorn Hour (which isn't that cheap I know), but it does play nearly every x264 file you can chuck at it, including HD (as well as all the older codecs like Xvid and Divx etc).

There's a cheaper option of course, from Western Digital, which has very nearly the same functionality as the Popcorn Hour for a 1/3 of the price, although it doesnt support DTS (yet).

what's that stuff from WD you are talking about?
can u link it please?

Exactly the reason we kept scene XviD. We require x264 for user encodes cuz, hey, if you're going to take the time to encode something, do it right and produce a quality product.

I'm a scene guy myself, so I love me scene releases :D

BTW, you guys are welcome to come on IRC for an invite if you have been pruned in the past.
