The answer of XMPEG to our last test

XMPEG has now launched a new version: Xmpeg 5.01 (5.0.8.82).
With this new test, we finally will know if the developers of XMPEG succeeded in correcting the bugs and to revise the tools of de-interlacing of version RC2-3.
What we can realize with the first access, there are now only two resizing filters:
- Bilinear: filter optimized for the processors Intel Pentium 4 and in this version, this filter has been revised
- HQ Bicubic: filter reference in term of quality
A restricted choice but simpler to choose.

For our test we will use the same vob files that we use for all of our tests, 15mn each, but with a different frame rates:

- Lord Of The Ring Extended Edition - NTSC 23,976 fps
- ONG-BAK - Pal 25 fps
- WASABI - NTSC 29.97 fps

The videos has been compressed with DivX 5.0.5 codec using the dual pass with a bitrate of 927 kbps to get the size of 100Mo (102'450kb). I choosed this bitrate because it's the one we can often use when we encode a movie for 1 CD of 700Mb with the soud encoded with the OGG codec.
Each video will contain a comparative benchmark about the total time to encode the file, the size of the file and the speed of the encoding in fps.
Each will contain comparatives screenshots to compare the picture quality of each software. We will compare motions scenes and statics scenes.

For this test, we will integrate our last benchmarks of XMPEG RC2-3.

Before to read the test, here's our test configuration wich is still the same than our last tests.
