DivX 3.1
Codec Package
The DivX 3.1 Codec Package includes both the renowned DivX components as well as the new DivX Plus Codec format.
DivX Plus is based on the H.264/AVC (MPEG-4 Part 10) video and AAC (MPEG-2 (ISO/IEC 13818-7) and MPEG-4 (ISO/IEC 14496-3)) audio standard. The Codec Package allows you to generate and play back full HD H.264 videos in the Matroska (MKV) file format.
DivX is based on the MPEG-4 ASP profile which is part of the MPEG-4 Part 2 (ISO/IEC 14496-2) standard. DivX video offers a better quality than both MPEG-1 (e.g. as for VCD) and MPEG-2 (e.g. as for SVCD or standard DVD video) for low bitrates. It is one of the most popular encoding formats for movies on the PC. The DivX format is now also available as Low Level Codec Package from MainConcept. In the recent past, more and more standalone DVD players get the DivX Certified logo, i.e. they are able to play back DivX encoded movie discs. Nowadays DivX is one of the most widespread home entertainment formats available on the market. DivX Plus HD will be the next major step for customers in the long lasting history of DivX certified devices.
The DivX 3.0 Codec Package offers several presets ranging from videos for mobile devices up to high-definition video to encode your video footage into DivX compliant streams. The DivX Codec Package comes with the below profiles offering a simple choice that matches best the device you expect to play back a DivX video:
- DivX Plus HD (new DivX standard based on H.264/AAC)
- Home Theater (e.g.: DVD players, recorders)
- 720p (e.g.: High Definition DVD players)
- 1080p (e.g.: High Definition DVD players)
- Mobile (e.g. Smartphones, personal multimedia players, personal digital assistants, and in car navigation devices with video playback)
- qMobile (e.g. Multimedia phones with basic video playback capabilities)
The DivX format offers significantly better quality than VCD, SVCD and DVD when using low bitrates. The Codec Package comes with an MPEG-1/2 Layer 3 (MP3) Audio Encoder that can exclusively be used in combination with the DivX video encoder.
With DivX Plus customers will enter the next generation in quality and performance. Due to its extraordinary versatility and quality, H.264/AAC is expected to be the next major standard for the professional broadcast industry as well as television transmission and content delivery worldwide.
The DivX 3.0 Codec Package enables developers to add DivX transcoding capabilities to their own applications, in order to create files that can be decoded by every DivX compliant software media player. Additionally, these clips are compliant with millions of DivX Certified devices, such as DVD players and mobile phones.
For Windows 32-bit, the codec package consists of a Low Level API (in the C programming language) and DirectShow filters.
