Re: [videoblogging] DivX - Shameless Plug
So if I encode with DivX, the video can be played in QT Player and Windows Media Player? But the viewer has to have DivX codec installed, right? -josh On 12/8/05, JV [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: A little shameless plug http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/ There is a free trial, but if anyone needs a sn, drop me a line and I'll get you one.

RE: [videoblogging] DivX - Shameless Plug
They will have to have something installed that can decode divx. I dont know about the full integration with these other decoders inside quicktime, but xvid, vlc and a fist full of other programs can decode DivX video.

RE: [videoblogging] DivX - Shameless Plug
We have playback implementations in all of these areas. DivX is an mpeg-4 implementation. One mis-understanding is that because mpeg-4 is a standards based format that they all are about the same quality. For example, tests show DivX performs better than baseline h.264. That isnt to say that h.264 cant be better than DivX, but baseline implementations (i.e. h.264 for ipod) wont be as good as DivX. By standard, what I mean is that other encoders can make video streams that can be decoded by divx and vice versa. There are limitations. We are working on a simple app that can check any video to see if our decoders can play the video. If it can then it means ALL divx decoders can play the file, including the 50+ million certified DVD players out there. Im not sure if that was the question. Am I close?

RE: [videoblogging] DivX - Shameless Plug
This puts a standard mpeg-4 based playback in the quicktime player, windows media player, consumer electronics devices. The converter is very easy, just drag and drop, or you can export from quicktime pro directly to DivX. Jim, The major disadvantage I see to DivX at this point is no playback support on PSP or iPod. Yes it's perfect for PC or Mac playback and the file sizes make it interesting as a solution for software PVRs but the ideal scenario is one format for everything. MP4 comes closer than anything else at this point because it is supported on the two devices everyone wants to own in addition to being supported on all the desktop platforms. If you can get your Codec on major portable devices, then you're on to something. Jake Ludington http://www.PodcastingStarterKit.com http://www.jakeludington.com http://www.sync2play.com Yahoo!
