Total: 2280 encodes (total length 1035 hours 12 minutes 8.46 seconds)

  • Note that most movies having ”DIVX” in their header are actually encoded using the ”FMP4” codec (the ffmpeg variety of MPEG-4 video. For Windows users, it is provided by ffdshow). ”DIVX” fourcc is only used for compatibility.
  • Sometimes the ”XVID” fourcc is used for the same purpose, though most of the ”XVID” movies are truly indeed XVid.
  • "VP80" fourcc is the VP8 codec.

sgrunt used the following to generate this list (requires mplayer):
   (
     for all in *.avi *.mkv *.mp4 *.ogm; do
       mplayer -identify -frames 0 $all >mpout
       fmt=`grep ID_VIDEO_FORMAT mpout | sed 's@.*=@@'`
       width=`grep ID_VIDEO_WIDTH mpout | sed 's@.*=@@'`
       height=`grep ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT mpout | sed 's@.*=@@'`
       echo $fmt, ${width}x$height
     done
   )|sort|uniq -c|sort -rn
When this list was maintained by Bisqwit, he used the following to create the listing (requires riffdump and mkvtoolnix):
  (
  for s in *.avi;do riffdump -nmovi "$s";done | \
     grep -a strf.*bits| grep -av 4[48][01]00x | \
     sed 's/.*bytes[^(]*(//;s/(.*, /, /;s/(.*//'
  for s in *.mkv;do mkvinfo --summary "$s" |head -n 2|grep 'video, codec';done | \
     perl -pe 's/.*ID: (.*), def.*pixel width: (.*?), pixel height: (.*?),.*/\1, \2x\3/' | \
     perl -pe 's@V_MS/VFW/FOURCC \(FourCC: (.*?), 0x34363268\)@\1@'
  ) | sort|uniq -c|sort -rn
