CATEGORY DESCRIPTION:
DIVX FORMATTED MOVIES,
DivX movie format vidoes become popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality. DivX uses lossy MPEG-4 Part 2 compression, where quality is balanced against file size for utility. It is one of several codecs commonly associated with ripping, where audio and video multimedia are transferred to a hard disk and transcoded. As a result, DivX has been a 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 encoded movies, although the QPEL and GMC features are often omitted to reduce processing requirements, so for compatibility reasons, are excluded from the base DIVX encoding profiles. While DivX does a good job, we believe Windows Media Video WMV format is superior.
