DivX Pro™ is a video compression plug-in that transforms a standard desktop computer into a high-quality content creation studio, distribution center, and entertainment jukebox. DivX Pro compresses large digital video files to a small size enabling DVD quality content to be distributed over the Internet or stored on hard disks or CD’s. DivX Pro can be used with popular editing software, video capture applications, 3d and special effects animation software, personal video recorders, video conferencing applications and more. The technology can reduce a DVD video to almost 10 percent of its original size and enable anyone to download and view a full-length DVD-quality movie in the time it takes to have a pizza delivered. These are just a few reasons why the DivX technology has been downloaded over 75 million times worldwide.

Full Screen DVD Quality

DivX Pro empowers you to create, distribute and watch full screen DVD quality video at a tenth the size of a DVD. Before DivX Pro, video creators were forced to use "other" video compression tools and technology that produced grainy, postage size stamped video for broadband Internet distribution. For the first time, DivX Pro enables anyone to create High Quality Full Screen Resolution video at the smallest file sizes, optimized for broadband distribution and efficient storage.

Premium Features

While DivX Pro might include the most advanced video codec (compressor/decompressor) available today, it is far more than just a codec--DivX Pro is an integrated suite of video compression tools. We've built many of the most common tools found in professional editing and content creation applications directly into DivX Pro. These features include pre-processing filters, resizing, de-interlacing, cropping, and inverse telecine (3:2 pulldown) and many more. Because all of these features are integrated directly with the codec, you can take advantage of them without high-priced applications, in some cases saving hundreds of dollars. And DivX Pro easily plugs into the most popular video editing and encoding applications available for maximum ease-of-use.

Advanced Compression features include DivX Psychovisual Modeling, bi-directional encoding (B-frames), global motion compensation, and quarter pel. DivX Pro is also fully MPEG-4 compliant, and is able to encode videos that are compatible with the MPEG-4 Simple Profile and MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile.

High Speed Encoding

Using the advanced new tools of DivX Pro, you can achieve the highest level of visual quality at over twice the encoding speeds of competing technologies. The DivX Pro codec is the fastest software codec available and requires no special hardware (unlike traditional video compression technologies). DivX Pro can encode at real time or faster than real time speeds (depending on the CPU speed) allowing video clips to be encoded in minutes instead of many hours.

The MP3 of Video

DivX is often referred to as the "MP3 of video" because it has created the same revolution in Internet video that the MP3 format created in Internet audio. Offering smaller file sizes and better visual quality than any other video compression technology on the market, DivX Pro allows you to shrink videos down to sizes small enough to fit on a standard compact disc, store an entire video collection on your hard drive, or distribute your content through the Internet or broadband connection.
