DivX 5.0 is finally released.
I got a message from BetaBoy from DivX.com that DivX 5.0 was released! It has DivX 5.0 (of course) but also DivX Player Version: 2.0.0.a.9 alpha (Yep it's a bundle). Update #1: i know what's new!
Update #2: i got more information about DivX 5.0 (comparision of the normal and pro version.. stuff like that) Click on Read More... to see what's new, more information and for direct download links. Click here to download normal version. Click here to download pro version "Ad-Supported". More Information:
DivX 5.0 codec... A free version, and adware supported pro version and a $30 PAY pro version. Read the differences here: DivX Comparision or what new here: What's New Why a pay pro version? Read here: Why? Here is a complete overview of the pro version here What's New: Compatibility with all versions of DivX video content. DivX 5.0 can play every version of DivX video ever created, from prior to 3.11 alpha to the brand new DivX Pro 5.0. AMD optimizations. Version 5.0 is fully optimized for AMD Athlon and Athlon XP processors. Faster two-pass encoding. The second pass of two-pass encoding is now up to 30% faster than DivX 4.12. The second pass makes use of motion vector information calculated by the first pass. Smaller file sizes. DivX 5.0 is capable of producing equivalent visual quality at up to 15-20% smaller file sizes, when compared to DivX 4.12. File size savings will vary depending upon the nature of the video content. MPEG-4 compatibility. DivX 5.0 can decode MPEG-4 Simple Profile, MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile, and H.263 video (all levels). It is also able to encode fully MPEG-4 Simple Profile compliant video (ISO/IEC 14496-2). DivX(tm) MPEG-4 file format. Full support (encoding and decoding) for the brand new MPEG-4 based file format that replaces the venerable AVI file format. Advanced support for existing encoding applications. All the new features of DivX 5.0 work in todayÕs existing content creation and encoding applications without requiring new versions of the applications. Reusable encoding profiles. Version 5.0 allows you to save profiles of encoding settings and reuse them over and over. You can also trade encoding profiles with other users. Quick configuration CLI. DivX 5.0 includes a command line interface for advanced users. Patent-pending rate control algorithm. This new version of DivX introduces a new and improved rate control algorithm, improving visual quality. Improved encoding algorithms. Includes special encoding algorithms that are specifically tuned to pans, fades, zooms, explosions, etc., improving quality and increasing compression. Psychovisual modeling. Support for advanced psychovisual modeling during encoding, a technique that takes into account knowledge about how the Human Visual System (HVS) works to compress moving video images into much smaller sizes without a loss of video quality. Universal architecture. The universal VfW/ACM/QT architecture of DivX makes it possible to playback exactly the same file on a variety of different operating systems and applications. Scalable. Work on a wide range of video bitrates, from 28 Kbps to 9 Mbps, depending upon your encoding needs. New DivX Player 2.0 Alpha. A brand new DivX Player application, complete with MPEG-4 file format support and a spiffy new skin system, is ready for your perusal. Known Issues:
------------
Psychovisual modeling may cause artifacting in certain types of video content. This issue will be addressed in the next release. Protecting logs not functional. Be sure to rename your two pass logs to prevent them from being overwritten if you would like to reuse them. Resizing may cause errors. Save setting to a file is not functional. Settings can be saved for future reuse only locally to the registry. If you would like to share these settings easily, just use your "command line" string.
