The DivX codec 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, and is now also available as licensable codec Plug-In for MainConcept Reference.

In the recent past, more and more standalone DVD players but also other devices such as mobile phones and TV sets got 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 currently available on the market.

MainConcept DivX offers standardized presets ranging from videos for mobile devices up to high-definition video to encode your video footage into DivX compliant streams. The below profiles offer you a simple selection that matches best the device you expect to play a DivX video.

  • 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. MainConcept DivX comes with the MP3 Audio Encoder that can exclusively be used in combination with the DivX video encoder. This enables users to create files that can be decoded by almost every third party software media player supporting the DivX format. Additionally, these clips are compliant with numerous DivX Certified devices, such as DVD players and mobile phones.
