x264 on SMS

[shorto]

So more and more people are using x264 now instead of XViD. I was just wondering are there any plans to make SMS read x264 (.avi) files?

H.264 requires a powerful CPU. Even Xbox Media Center has problems decoding it. It might not be possible to implement on PS2.

It seemed like a lot of people were switching to x264 a few months ago but now a lot more hd rips are xvid encoded... I think we'll be alright without it...

Hopefully, your right and people will start using xvid again .

• x264 in VOB container
• x264 in MKV container
• H264 in mp4 container

are the most common formats for High Definition media.

Xvid is typical for Standard Definition

EEUG stated a long time ago that it is impossible for him to implement X264/H264 for the high definition resolutions such media normally use, using the resources available to the PS2. There has to be a physical limit somewhere, and this is one of them.

So nagging about implementing such things in SMS is nothing but a waste of time, as it is not going to happen. If you don't trust me in this, then trust EEUG, who has said so many times.

He might implement the x264/H264 algorithms anyway, just for fun, but as implied above that can only work for really tiny resolutions.

xvid and divx codecs in mkv container however sounds kind of tempting, SMS-wise; knowing the mkv containers can contain several sound tracks and subtitles as well as a compressed movie file, instead of having all loose bits and pieces in a folder.

opposed to the avi container that can hold sound and picture.

AFAIK the PS2 is not capable of anything but SD

I don't see what any of that has to do with this thread, which asks exclusively for X264.

Can't you just let this thread die, like it deserves to do.

Well, dlanor, I would like the thread to die in peace, so I blessed it in the name of knowledge.

Well... Eugene said that it was impossible to implement HD with a PS2, what he didn't say is whether it is possible to do it with two PS2

cheers,
