A new encoder preset option allows you to quickly configure the encoder based upon your preference for encoding speed and video quality
The DivX community codec replaces the current free version of DivX, offering a wider range of performance and quality options for free through encoder presets
Multithreaded resize filters have been added for improved performance on all HyperThreaded (HT), dual CPU (SMP) and dual core processors
A new \"Enhanced multithreading\" option capable of increasing encoding rate depending on system configuration and encoding environment
A new \"Enhance texture\" psychovisual enhancement method that improves picture details around keyframes and reduces the appearance of stray blocks under fast motion when encoding at lower bitrates
MMX optimizations for the MPEG quantization method
The DivX decoder can anonymously check for updates to the DivX codec, ensuring you are always notified of newer versions
Fixed:
Fixed a problem where multiple instances of the feedback window would cause the encoder to fail
Fixed a problem where very old DivX 5.0 content might not be decoded correctly
The encoder GUI now adapts to screen resolutions of 800x600 or lower
Changed
Bitrate modulation for multipass nth pass encoding is now preset at an optimal value for quality. As a result, this option has been removed from the user interface
The DivX Pro 6 month trial has been replaced by a 15 day trial, which can be started from the DivX encoder GUI, rather than during installation. This is because a much wider range of features are now available for free in the community codec. Previously installed 6 month trials will be honored.
About:
DivX® is a media format, including a lossy codec, created by DivX, Inc. (formerly DivXNetworks, Inc.), known for its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining high visual quality. It has been the center of controversy because of its use in the replication and distribution of copyrighted DVDs. Many newer "DivX Certified" DVD players are able to play DivX movies. DivX® is a registered trademark of DivX, Inc.
