Hi, I just have the tested the performance of the new AVI (audio Video Interleaved) from Microsoft versus the new Xing Technology MPEG for Windows 2.0 version with sound-WAV-support ! AVI is too slow and the file size is too huge.... This is my first impression ! I just compressed a 10 frame sequence with the various compression protocols delivered with the final Beta-Version but at screen size of 320x240 it seems still be too slow for a 486 PC with 33 Mhz... Also the picture gets very degraded, when you use higher compression rates ! Extremly good is the new MPEG for Windows Version 2.0 I just received The new MPEG encoder runs also under Windows and it can be adjusted, what kind of compression rate it should give. At ratio 4 it gives still very good pictures without many artifacts and the file size is still very small. About 7 KBytes/frame (at 320x240 screen size)... And it is still very fast. I just installed a Local Motherboard from Genoa, the Turbobahn motherboard and it really speeds things up.. Well, these are my first impressions of AVI versus MPEG 2.0 for Windows...
