TexasGuy used our news submit to tell us

has the following new features:
 DivX Manihi Codec Beta 1:
High Quality encoding mode
- Different motion estimation criteria
- Rate distortion algorithm
High Quality psychovisual mode
- Texture cortex masking and Rate
distortion algorithm
- Hybrid mode (Texture cortex masking)
High Quality B frame mode
- The motion estimation for B frame has
been improved
- Quantization modulation is changed
Feedback mode
- Allows visual feedback during encoding
Decoder rearchitecture
- Decoder is 10 to 30% faster on all CPU
platforms
- Decoder supports auto-postprocessing
Encoder GUI
- The codec GUI has been redesigned to
