• DivX stands for Digital Video Express, and is a kind of Codec. It means the compression technology with the basis of MPEG-4 that maintains the high quality of digital video at the same time that compresses the files with big volume into very small one that we can send them by internet. You may understand easily if you think that DivX copy DVD. DVD has the excellent image quality and the high-sound power, but it is an obstacle to people who want to share the title because the volume of DVD is so huge. The format type of Divx codec is avi, and DivX codec must be installed in order to play DivX Video.

F. What is Dr. DivX?

• Dr. Divx is one of the encoding programs and it can make general moving picture files, compressed one or live one transfer to higher compression rate or other format for moving picture like MPEG, MPG, AVI, WMV, etc. We can use it only for 15 days as Dr. Divx is shareware, and can download Dr. Divx from a resource center or the homepage of Dr. Divx. The homepage address is http://www.divx.com/

Why do the differences of image quality between the DivX files come out? Official DivX means to be of DVD origin. It is called DVD-Rip DivX. However, it is called VCD-rip PDivx that is of VCD and makes it as DivX compressed type. It has lower image quality than VCD. There are converted camcorder version that is called Screener's version, and spectators take a picture of a movie in the theater directly into the compression of DivX type. It has much lower image quality. Therefore, we can say DVD-rip DivX that the image quality is almost similar to DVD is the only official DivX.
