Descrizione

Il codec DivX è basato sullo standard di compressione MPEG-4. Le capacità di compressione di questo software sono molto elevate, e la qualità video in fase di riproduzione è al momento tra le migliori.

Di seguito, le note fornite a corredo con la versione 5.2:

• Localized versions for French, German and Japanese
• Built-in bitrate calculator
• Update checking tool
• Automatic update notification for the DivX encoder
• Fast mode, revamped for better performance, compression and quality
• 3 point GMC support in the DivX decoder

Improved:

• Smooth playback supporting multiple consecutive B-frames
• Quantizer, now using quant scale in video packets

Fixed (Encoder):

• A rare issue where rate control sometimes inserted Q=31 frames in video combining low light conditions, high bitrate and specific motion patterns
• Fastest mode to respect the user-specified average bitrate (Old “Fastest” behavior can be obtained by disabling profiles and performing 1-Pass, Quality-based encoding with Q=3)

Fixed (Decoder):

• A crash occurring in some rare cases with clips that have dimensions divisible only by 2 and use YUY2 color mode
• Black screen when decoding old buggy MPEG-4 clips that lack VOL header
• Internal flush operation with “Smooth playback” feature
• Intra inverse quantization (type 1)
• Support for generic MPEG-4 (XVID and 3ivX)
• Data partitioning clip
• Deblocking to no longer cause solid blocks to appear during playback
• DivX decoder to always play DivX video
