What is DivX?
|
|
DivX is a new format for digital video, much like MP3 is a format for digital music.
DivX is the brand name of a patent-pending video compression technology created by DivXNetworks, Inc., (also known as Project Mayo). The DivX codec (short for compression-decompression) is based on the MPEG4 compression standard.
This codec is so advanced that it can reduce an MPEG-2 video (the same format used for DVD) to ten percent of its original size. This means that a full-length, full-motion, full-screen, near DVD-quality feature film can fit onto a standard 700Mb CDr or fit up to six feature films on a standard 4.7Gb DVDr.
