DivX + 9.0

What's new in this release?

Stream to your TV
DivX Plus Player now includes a free media server, so you can stream your video collection to any DLNA-compatible device. Just turn it on, select the folders you want to share, and you’re golden.
Faster conversion
DivX Plus Converter is built on top of an entirely new cross-platform transcoding engine from the folks at MainConcept, so it’s just plain faster than ever before. Oh yeah, it also has support for Intel Quick Sync Video, which means that any Windows machine with a 2nd or 3rd Generation Intel Core processor (Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge) can take advantage of hardware accelerated encoding. This combination can lead to as much as 10x speed advantage over our last Converter release (v8). Boom. We’re working on more platforms for acceleration as well, so you’ll see more on this soon.
Convert video for your iOS goodies
Converter also has two new profiles for your iPhones and iPads. We love MKV more than anyone you know, but sometimes...well, you just gotta create an MP4. With hardware accelerated encoding, DivX Plus Converter will do it faster than any other converter on the market, so you can watch that extra episode of...well, totally legal video on your iPad in less time than that other converter product takes to encode it.
Everything is free*
We’ve made more free than ever before, and we couldn’t be more excited about that. Converter is free. DLNA is free. iOS output is free. Hardware acceleration is free. Everything we could afford to make free, is finally, well...free. *Why’d we put an asterisk then? There are some things that cost us a lot of money, and MPEG-2 support is one of them. So when we have to pay a lot, we’ll have to charge a little. That means we will still be selling our MPEG-2/DVD Plug-in for Converter when the final version is launched, but we’ve made everything else as free as can be.

[DivX Plus Software]
Today is a great day! We’ve been working really hard over the last year on the latest version of DivX Software. DivX 8 you ask? Nope. We call it DivX Plus Software even though technically it is version 8. Why? Because it’s leaps and bounds ahead of DivX 7 in a couple of ways:

* It’s completely redesigned from soup to nuts and debuts new format features
* Provides an easy way for users to transfer their videos to DivX devices.

DivX Plus Software truly is the beginning of our vision for what DivX Plus will become as DivX Plus Devices start to hit the market.

DivX Plus Software has a ton of new features, but here’s a sample of some of the things that our Labs community might like:

DivX Plus Web Player 2.0.2
A couple of weeks ago, we gave you Web Player 2.0.1. DivX Plus Software includes 2.0.2, which has many performance improvements over 2.0.1. We think you’ll really like it, give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Free DXVA hardware acceleration
In DivX Plus Software, we’ve taken all of the technology components like the DivX Codec, H.264 filters, and MKV Tech Preview and combined them together into the DivX Plus Codec Pack. One of the best things about the codec pack is that it now includes Free DXVA hardware acceleration for H.264 video. Due to inconsistencies in the DXVA implementation between various graphics cards, we’ve left DXVA off by default. But if you’ve got a graphics card that supports it, open up ‘codec settings’ and turn DXVA on in the ‘Advanced’ tab to let it rip.

DivX Plus Converter – Free MKV
Do you love MKV like we do? MKV is quickly sweeping the globe as the best video format for delivering high quality video through the interwebs. We love it because it does a great job handling amazing quality H.264 video with extra features like multiple audio tracks, subtitle tracks, and multiple videos in a single file. That’s why we’ve chosen MKV as the basis for the DivX Plus HD format.

Back in November, DivX Plus Web Player brought streaming MKV to the web. Now we’ve unleashed DivX Plus Converter on you. In addition to being completely redesigned, DivX Plus Converter now lets you convert your videos to DivX Plus HD for free. That’s right, the new DivX Plus Converter outputs MKV/H.264 absolutely free forever. For DivX/MPEG-4 ASP output it continues to be a 15-day free trial. So, the message pro MKV is loud and clear here… Besides, It it also lets you create DivX Plus videos with advanced features, like authored chapters and smooth fast-forward and rewind. Did I say that it's FREE? Download DivX Plus Software to try it out for yourself.

DivX Plus Player – DivX to Go™
To be perfectly honest, you’ll get a 100% free video converter if you decide to use the new DivX to Go available through the new DivX Plus Player. The engine is the same so the differences reside on that being a more streamlined step-by-step wizard for users to easily spot which DivX Certfied device they have and get the their content to play on the device without having to know anything about profiles and settings.


Divx Player updated to 7.2.0

Divx Codec 6.7 beta
http://labs.divx.com/node/791#Download67Beta
Welcome to DivX® Codec 6.7 Beta! We've got a few new high def goodies for you to play with in this version of DivX Codec. First and foremost is support for the DivX 1080HD profile!
The "1080HD Mode", featured in the encoder since DivX Codec 6.4, has been replaced with the official 1080 standard, assuring playback on DivX Certified 1080HD devices. The good news is that this standard forms a feature superset of the original 1080 mode so all of your existing DivX 1080 material should also look great on your new player! So, what's in the feature superset?

Download DivX Codec 6.7 Beta now (3.4MB)

The new 1080HD Profile

One of the new features is the combination of bi-directionally coded frames and interlaced video. Due to limitations in certain chipsets, DivX Codec did not previously allow b-frames and interlace coding to be used together. However, all DivX 1080HD devices will support this pairing, leading to improved compression for 1080i video.

PAR and format conversion

We've also added support for custom pixel aspect ratios, allowing you to take common high-definition formats such as HDV, DVCPRO and AVCHD, and encode them at their native aspects with the appropriate PAR flagged in the video bitstream. Note that this feature requires an 'aware' decoder (e.g. DivX Player or the DivX Video Decoder for DirectShow). For compatibility with generic decoders, it is still best to encode with square pixels. Which leads us on to ...

Format conversion! New in the Video tab of the encoder configuration interface is an easy method of changing the pixel aspect ratio of the video being encoded. If you specify the input PAR and output PAR, then select "Resize to width", the encoder will automatically factor any desired PAR conversion into the resize. The encoder can also compute the output PAR for you if instead you choose to perform a custom resize. You can choose between marking the output video with the closest matching format preset (i.e. Square pixels, PAL 4:3/16:9, NTSC 4:3/16:9) or, if you are using the 1080HD profile, calculating the exact pixel aspect ratio automatically.


Divx Codec 6.6.1

New:

* Experimental search dropdown box is now enabled for CPUs with SSE2

Note: It is not possible to compare this search method with the normal operation of DivX Codec 6.6 or prior. The experimental search does additional work and therefore is naturally slower. We’re enabling it so that comparisons between the Penryn using SSE4 and older processors using the equivalent SSE2 routine are possible.


Fixed:

* The VFW decoder did not render frames for certain bitstreams when post-processing was disabled
* Fixed decoding b-frames for clips with data partitioning
* Fixed a small motion compensation error in b-frames when using quarter pixel estimation
* Fixed a VLD issue that could cause blocks to appear in the decoded picture
* Fixed bitrate resetting to default when changing from Fast 1st pass to Nth pass rate-control mode
* Changed default VBV initial occupancy to 100%
* Workaround for later versions of VirtualDub and derivatives where additional frames were being written to the multipass log file in Fast 1st pass mode
* Fixed handling of forced aspect ratio in DirectShow decoder


DivX 6.6
- Up to 12% faster decoding for smoother playback
- Over 10% faster encoding in “Insane” mode
- Up to 7% better compression for HD capture in "Fastest" mode
- Experimental support for SSE4 on new Intel Penryn CPUs


DivX 6.5.1 has now been released.
Changelog:
* Fix: Stability of DivX decoder under third-party media players and Windows Explorer
* Fix: Settings in the Decoder Configuration Utility/DivX Settings Manager were not always applied correctly
* Fix: De-interlacing was sometimes enabled when it should not have been
* Fix: The feedback window could crash the encoder when enabled
* Fix: The feedback window could be enabled for Fastest and High Performance modes
* New: For compatibility with applications that do not expect the DirectShow decoder to request the hardware overlay, it is possible to enter application names for which the decoder will not use the hardware overlay in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREDivXNetworksDivXExtOverlayExclusions (you may need to create this key). For an example see the SMExclusions key in the same location, which allows the Settings Manager to be disabled on a per-application basis.


Codec 6.5
*Support for de-interlacing during playback. Supports software de-interlacing if the advanced overaly decoder option is disabled, or hardware de-interlacing (recommended!) if the advanced overlay decoder option is enabled. This is perfect for 1080i, DV, and live capture material that is interlaced, making the motion super smooth and preventing jaggies.
* Support for flagging PAL or NTSC aspects of 4:3 or 16:9 when encoding. The DirectShow decoder will display the correct aspect when the advanced overlay option is enabled (now on by default after installation), so long as your media player supports and appropriate renderer.
* The decoder is over 10% faster (before post-processing), which means lower CPU use/better automatic deblocking levels/less chance of dropped frames when playing high-definition material on slower systems/faster transcode to other profiles.
* Support for Mobile profile (up to 320 x 240 at 30 fps)
* Support for qMobile profile (up to 176 x 144 at 15fps)


Codec 6.4
* 1080HD encoding mode
* New fast 1st pass rate control mode
* High efficiency resize filters
* Improved support for interlaced video
* Adaptive noise reduction

* Fixed a problem where only two consecutive B-frames were allowed in Unconstrained mode instead of three
* Fixed the decoder failing for bitstreams created by applications that do not correctly handle packed B-frames
* Added an option to toggle checking for updates during playback to the installer component selection dialog


Codec 6.2.1

* Fixed reduced performance when resizing is enabled
* Fixed an error when exporting from TMPGEnc
* Fixed a problem where the "Configure" button would sometimes become disabled

Version 5.0.3 released 2003-01-24

New:

Support for interlaced video in the decoder. Preserving the interlaced fields of interlaced video may sometimes result in better video quality during playback.
New de-ringing post-processing algorithm. The new algorithm improves the perceived video quality during playback. It is activated when the post-processing level is set to Level 6.
Video Buffer Verifier (VBV) model (one and two pass encoding). The VBV ensures that the maximum peak bit rate never exceeds either the user's inputted "maximum peak" bit rate value or/and ensures that the encoded stream never violates the buffer of an MPEG-4 compliant decoder. This helps to prevent decoding failure in both hardware and software where memory may be limited yet compliant to the MPEG-4 standard as defined in ISO/IEC 14496-2:2001(E). In order for DivX video to be successfully delivered over a restricted channel in real time to a decoder, the encoder's rate control must ensure that the decoder's buffer is not violated. When this is done properly, then overflow and underflow will never occur and the encoder is said to be "VBV compliant." It makes no difference whether the video is encoded in 1-pass or many, in real-time or offline. It is the encoder's rate control that must ensure compliance. There are three main requirements of a VBV-compliant rate control algorithm, in order of importance:
VBV compliance. When VBV parameters are specified (size, initial occupancy, channel characteristics) the rate control should avoid producing video that is in danger of violating the decoder's buffer. Bitstream stuffing may be used in extreme cases to prevent overflow in true CBR systems. Underflow must be prevented by increasing frame quantiser or by dropping frames.
Target bitrate. We aim to meet the user's requirements as accurately as possible here. This is directly related to filesize.
Good-looking video. Rate control should aim to produce the subjectively best quality video given other constraints. Consistency is important here as changes in quality are very noticeable and video is often judged by the worse quality segment in the whole sequence.
Nth Pass? encoding. Another new addition to the rate control arsenal, Nth Pass? encoding takes advantage of information available from previous analysis (or analyses) of the video sequence. Nth Pass encoding uses information garnered from previous passes through the video sequence, which can improve quality with each pass. There are four main steps to Nth Pass encoding:
Analysis (the first pass).
Map generation (where the results of analyses are processed).
Strategy generation (strategist examines map of the video sequence and creates a strategy that will best achieve the three VBV RC requirements).
In-loop nth pass rate control (uses information from the map and strategy to effect rate control that best fulfills the three requirements).
Support for DivX Certified Profiles. With the new DivX Certification program, DivXNetworks is enabling third parties to create "DivX Certified" products that are rigorously tested and fully compatible with the entire suite of DivX? video technologies. There are four levels of official DivX Certified video products: Handheld Video Devices, Portable Video Devices, Home Theater Video Devices and High Definition Video Devices. These levels quickly and clearly communicate what type and size of DivX video are supported on the certified device. Now, when you encode video, you have the option to force your video to comply with one of the DivX Certified Profiles to ensure that your video will play back properly on certified products.
DivX Decoder verification logo. There is a new semi-transparent DivX Logo that will appear by default for a few seconds any time you use the DivX decoder to watch a DivX video. This instantly lets you know you're watching a true DivX? video. You can turn the display of the logo on or off in the codec properties dialog.
New internal application programming interface (API). The internal API of the codec was changed to better accommodate integration with third party partners. This only affects you if you are a DivX licensee and are working directly with the DivX object code. The external API (e.g., DirectShow, etc.) remains unchanged.
Improved:

The motion estimation algorithm is better optimized for High Definition resolutions (up to 1080p, or 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution.
The pre-processing performance is now improved with with the IYUY 4:2:0 color space.
Changed:

Removed MP4creator and the MPEG-4 file output option due to some compliance issues. This will return in our next release once these issues are resolved.
Removed the Intelligent IVTC functionality due to persistent problems caused by lack of variable frame rate file format support. This technology will be back soon in a new form.
Changed the block skipping threshold for high quantizers, which improves visual quality when high quantizers are used.
Fixed:

Fixed a bunch of little cosmetic bugs in the DirectShow decoder properties page.
Fixed a bug where the last P frame before an I frame was not displayed when Smooth Playback was selected.
Fixed a practically unnoticeable YUV->RGB16 color conversion rounding bug.
Fixed a bug that was the cause of some of VirtualDub's "Cannot Start Video Compression" errors.
Fixed a few issues with DivX 3.11 compatibility.
Modified the decoder to deal with a bug in the old OpenDivX encoder that set the scalability bit incorrectly in certain cases. The DivX decoder can now detect this problem and play the content properly.
Fixed a problem where some rounding operations were not done toward zero, as is required by section 7.4 of the spec. This fixed an intra case in MPEG-2 inverse quantization.
Fixed a bug where some frames would be corrupted by an out-of-range error.
Fixed several rounding issues related to MMX/SSE/SSE2 optimizations.
Fixed an MMX bug in RGB32 color conversion.



Version 5.0.2 released 2002-05-16

New:

Added several new options to the codec properties dialog that allow users to tweak settings for smoother playback and improved support for some video cards.

Added a "Smooth Playback" option. Turning this off will allow B-frame encoded content to playback with lower CPU usage. However, enabling this option will introduce a 1 frame delay in the decoder (because of buffering), which may cause the last frame of the video to not be displayed.
Added a "YUV Extended" mode option. When selected, the codec will attempt to use YV12 mode to decode the video. This is the fastest way to decode DivX content, but the drawback is that brightness/contrast/saturation controls cannot be used in this mode and are disabled.
Added an "Overlay Extended" mode. Selecting this will cause the filter to try to display video using the hardware overlay instead of the software overlay. The hardware overlay is much faster, but may not be supported on some video cards. When this mode is enabled, DirectShow-based player applications will be unable to open more than one window at a time.
Added a "Double Buffering" option. Enabling this will force the video card to allocate a second buffer for the video playback. This will increase the smoothness of the video playback, but may not be supported on low-end video cards with less than 8 MB of RAM.
Added a "Film Effect" option. This is a warming filter that when enabled will add film noise to the decoded picture. This may increase the perceived visual quality of the picture, especially if you are used to watching film. It's a personal preference, however, so use it if you want.
Added a hidden "Force Color Mode" control. You can manually set the registry key "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareDivXNetworksForce Color Mode" in the Windows Registry and assign it a number from 1 to 7. This will force the video card to use a particular color mode, depending upon the value. This is only necessary in rare circumstances to solve video card problems. Supported color modes:
1: YV12.
2: YUY2.
3: YUYV.
4: RGB32.
5: RGB24.
6: RGB555.
7: RGB565.
Improved:

The default psychovisual modeling settings are tweaked slightly. This should decrease blockiness in black regions and flat areas in the video content.
Optimized the decoder so that it more consistently plays back video, particularly on lower-end CPUs. (A P-III 466 MHz machine can play real-time, 640x480 video with B-frames and GMC at 80% CPU load.).
Fixed:

Fixed a lot of memory leaks in the encoder. This should prevent the codec from slowing down gradually during a long encode.
Version 5.0.1 encoded 7% slower than 5.0. DOH! Not sure how that happened. This has been fixed and version 5.0.2 is as fast as version 5.0.
Fixed a problem where the trace_b.txt log file would be written out during encodes which would take up significant disk space. The log file is no longer written.
Fixed a problem where the MP4 Creator would not work on files that included B-frames. The MP4 Creator should now work with all DivX 5.x files.
Fixed a bug where the right macroblock would not be displayed with the custom brightness/contrast settings. This would cause a dark or light "band" of video on the right side of the screen.
Fixed a bug that would cause playback problems when the seek bar was moved back and forth quickly. This same bug some cause bad frames to be displayed at the beginning of some content when playing back video in Windows Media Player. This should no longer happen.
Fixed a bug where the "Decoder Configuration" application would crash when run on Windows 98. The application should now run properly. (Yes, we know we said we fixed this in 5.0.1, but we really fixed it this time.).



Version 5.0.1 released 2002-04-09

Improved:

Psychovisual modeling enhancements now reallocate saved bits in an improved manner, meaning the psychovisual modeling mode will produce better visual quality.
Improved the workaround for a DirectShow bug that causes the requested bitrate to not be respected by the codec during one-pass encoding. This affects applications (such as video capture applications) that use the DivX DirectShow interface to access the codec. This problem is due to a bug in DirectShow, not in DivX itself, but we have a workaround that should solve the problem.
Fixed:

Fixed a bug where the divx.dll library would not decode DivX 3.x content properly. This affected applications like VirtualDub that use the VfW interface to use DivX. The problems this caused, such as blank frames, are now fixed.
Fixed a bug where basic deinterlace functionality would cause the codec to crash on Pentium 4 processors.
Fixed a problem where using data paritioning and psychovisual modeling together would produce severe visual artifacts. These settings can now be used together.
Fixed an issue where encoding content with resolutions not divisible by 16 would cause purple and pink artifacts to appear in the encoded content. These artifacts no longer appear. You can now encode content that has resolutions divisible by 4 or 8, however we still strongly recommend encoding only content with resolutions divisible by 16, as the 4 and 8 dimensions will not encode as efficiently. (There remains a known issue about resolutions divisible by 2.)
Fixed a bug where the DirectShow filter would not use the overlay properly with Matrox Millennium video cards on Windows 2000. It now works properly.



Version 5.0 released 2002-03-04

Initial public version of DivX 5.0.

Features:

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, meaning AMD owners can see performance speedups of up to 20%.
Improved encoding and decoding performance. We've also optimized the encoding and decoding algorithms across the board, improving performance for all users. Double Real Time encoding is possible on modern hardware, and Triple Real Time encoding is possible on two processor systems. Version 5.0 can even decode 1080p high-definition video content in real time.
Faster two-pass encoding. We've tweaked the way two-pass encoding works. The second pass now uses more data from the first pass, making the second pass up to 30% faster than DivX 4.12.
Smaller file sizes. All the new encoding features of DivX 5.0 mean you can expect equivalent visual quality at about 15-20% smaller file sizes.
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? MPEG-4 file format. This version of DivX introduces a brand new MPEG-4 based file format that replaces the venerable AVI. No more audio/video synchronization problems, and no more 2 GB file limit.
Advanced support for existing encoding applications. All the new features of DivX 5.0 work in today's existing content creation and encoding applications. You don't even need new versions of the applications! So continue using Adobe Premiere, VirtualDub, or whatever is your application of choice.
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 that gives an extra level of control over encoding parameters.
Patent-pending rate control algorithm. This new version of DivX introduces a new and improved rate control algorithm. It just makes things look better, okay? If you want to know more, read the help file or what's new sections.
Improved encoding algorithms. We've introduced special encoding algorithms that are specifically tuned to pans, fades, zooms, explosions, etc. With DivX 5.0, you should see visual quality improvements on these types of special scenes.
Psychovisual modeling. The coolest new feature of DivX 5.0 is psychovisual modeling, and advanced 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. Expect up to 20% smaller file sizes from using this feature.
Universal architecture. Create once, play anywhere. 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.
Mac OS Support. For the first time, a publicly available codec on Mac OS can decode MPEG-4 Simple Profile and MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile video.
Scalable. DivX video has been test on and can 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.
