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...
