There seem to be a lot of XvidHD releases by NPW.
But there are also a lot that are older than a year.
Does anyone know the best places to find these older NPW releases?

IPT appears to have 1062 of those releases. The oldest one is from February 2009.
Out of curiosity, what is the oldest one?Quote:

Most have at least a handful of them.Quote:

Okay, thanks for the info.
I see big debates about NPW / Flawl3ss / ViSiON / SHiRK around other forums...
Which are best out of these?
And where did FLAWL3SS and ViSiON begin?
Yeh, NPW started posting these releases on RevTT originally, but as an experienced encoder for 2 years I can honestly say it's not the best format to be using for encoding HD - XViD does not achieve the same compression rates as x264.
I usually assume most people are aware of this, but I'm actually starting to doubt that assumption. I'm actually very surprised to see XVID HD become a thing. If you take the same source and encode a lower resolution x264, it will look better at significantly smaller filesizes than a high res XVID (most don't seem to realize the waste of bitrate that is XVID). At least we don't have people asking for MPEG2-PS HD...Quote:

I think it's also because XviD itself uses less processing power than x264
Shows what I know ,I actually thought this was a troll thread.:unsure:
Really and like these are adult forums and the "big debate " isn't squeezed between arguments over whether Justin Beiber looks better with shaggy or short hair?Quote:

If someone's equipment doesn't have the capability to process 720p x264, then they would be better off processing x264 SD than XVID HD. The former looking better and taking up less space than the latter. It's a middle ground that seems to only exist because ignorance prevents people from moving forward.Quote:
