I would like to play around with encodeing in Xvid format with ffdshow. It looks to me as though it has some features I would like to test. Such as useing the input image processing to resize, correct aspect ration and all those fun built in ffdshow filters. Since ffdshow is one of the fastest decoders for Xvid, I'm wondering if it is also one of the fastest encoders. Can anyone point me to the documentation for ffdshow. I chose to include the documentation when I installed ffdshow, but all I can find are some tiny html files in the 'help' folder where ffdshow is installed. They were more like a glossary than documentation. Also, if anyone has any insight as to what I can expect trying to encode with ffdshow, feel free to add your two cents.
ffdshow uses libavcodec for XviD decoding (can also use XviD), this is why it is faster. For XviD encoding it uses XviD so the speed is the same. It can also encode to MPEG-4 using libavcodec though.
