Anyone still using Xvid?
zherok:
Here? No, but elsewhere I grab xvids so I can toss them on my S9, which doesn't support MKV.
suhaib:
i thought someone would reply :
" yes i use Xvid just to save space on my HD "
but i'm surprised no one did !
anyway,
i only use Xvid when it's the only option ..
H.264 is great for me :)
*even so i'm running out of disk space i still download MKV's*
zherok:
I think that has more to do with accepting higher quality H.264s than XVIDs being inherently smaller or anything.
Consider these two for example:

suhaib:
I see ...
so you're saying that people are downloading MKV's
just for it's quality and it has nothing to do with the size ...

i haven't seen this series yet ... is it any good ?
Neco:
Its moot. whether its quality or size, Xvid is gonna lose to a properly done H264 encode. I'm sure there is an exception floating around somewhere but those two torrents make a perfect example as to why.
