uManiac's XviD Codec Description

Quite a few users who like to watch movies onto their PCs have seldom if at all wondered how the actual process goes on, more precisely what makes the videos play onto some computers while on others they cannot be viewed. Those who had to face playback errors due to the lack of some system components are the most likely to have found out the answer, as the majority of such issues are caused by the lack of the appropriate codecs. This type of tiny and rarely visible software is backed by filters, encoders and decoders, so only if everything is set into place, the movies can be played properly. uManiac's XviD Codec is one of the many evolutions of the XviD codec and it includes the base elements of the original component, as well as some optimizations and extras brought to complete the feature set. As is the case with all XviD codecs, this one integrates seamlessly with the system and is very versatile, so it will help open a wide variety of video formats and ensure a smooth playback. The running parameters can be customized provided that there is an application list the installed codecs and access their configuration area. The encoding mode can be thus selected and some of its settings adjusted manually. Also, uManiac's XviD Codec also supports encoder tuning, which involves choosing the type of motion search precision, the quantization type and some other options. The CPU performance can also be tweaked from the configuration area of uManiac's XviD Codec by picking some optimizations manually or leaving this task to be carried out in the automatic mode.
