DivX is een verzameling van programma's, waaronder de DivX-codec, een mediaspeler, enkele utilities en documentatie, kortom alles wat nodig is DivX-bestanden te creëren en af te spelen. De DivX-codec is gebaseerd op de MPEG-4 compressiestandaard en is in staat om MPEG-2 videobestanden te comprimeren naar ongeveer tien procent van de originele grootte. Voorheen waren de DivX Play Bundle en de DivX Create Bundle beschikbaar maar met versie 6.5 zijn deze twee samengevoegd tot één installatie bestand. Dit installatie bestand bestaat uit DivX Player 6.4, DivX Community Codec 6.5 en DivX Web Player 1.3.0 die gratis te gebruiken zijn. Daarnaast worden DivX Converter 6.2 en DivX Pro Codec 6.5 meegeleverd die voor 15 dagen uitgeprobeerd mogen worden. De lijst met veranderingen voor DivX 6.5 ziet er als volgt uit:
New in version 6.5:
- Support for non-square pixel aspect ratios
The DivX Codec now allows you to keep the original pixel aspect ratio of your source video, specifying the appropriate aspect when encoding. This allows you to maintain greater resolution and thus improve picture quality during playback, especially when watching videos at full-screen.
The DivX decoder for DirectShow will automatically instruct your video card to use the correct aspect during playback when the option to "Use advanced hardware overlay" is enabled and set to "Original" aspect in the Decoder Configuration Utility (see the DivX programs group in your Start menu). This is now the default setting after installation.- Support for de-interlacing during playback.
The DivX decoder for DirectShow can now de-interlace video during playback. This means that when you play an interlaced video clip you will no longer see jagged edges around objects or horizontal lines running across the picture during playback. Two de-interlacing methods are available:
De-interlaceing is enabled by default after installation.
- When de-interlacing is enabled but the advanced hardware overlay is disabled, de-interlacing will be performed in software and the frame rate will remain unchanged. For example, if the DivX video is 30 frames/60 fields per second, then you will see 30 de-interlaced frames per second.
- When de-interlacing and the advanced hardware overlay are both enabled, de-interlacing will be performed by your video hardware and the frame rate will be doubled. For example, if the DivX video is 30 frames/60 fields per second, then you will see 60 de-interlaced frames per second.
- Improved decoder performance
The DivX decoder is over 10% faster, allowing for either lower CPU use or better deblocking during playback.
- Support for qMobile profile
This encoding profile is designed for certified mobile devices and portable media players that support resolutions of up to 176 x 144 at 15fps.
- Support for Mobile profile
This encoding profile is designed for certified mobile devices and portable media players that support resolutions of up to 320 x 240 at 30fps.
