DivX 5.1 Released

NewsFactory · Sep 3, 2003, 07:14 AM

Divx have just released version 5.1 of their famous video codec including DivX Player 2.5.

DivX is a package that includes all the DivX codec, player, utilities, and documentation that you need to play DivX files. DivX codec is based on the MPEG-4 compression standard. This codec can reduce an MPEG-2 video (DVD format) to ten percent of its original size. DivX is a digital video compression technology based on the ISO MPEG-4 standard.

Improved:

Redesigned encoder GUI. The new GUI is more accessible and simplifies overall usage.
DivX 3 compatibility. (There were no problems detected on any of the more than 60 hours of test content.)
Performance of Nth Pass strategy planning performance.

Fixed:

A bug that caused the quantizer to overshoot the bitrate following a transition to a complex scene.
A bug that limited the interframe change in quantizer to the ideal quantizer or plus or minus 2.
A bug in RGB32 to YUV conversion on Pentium 4 machines.
A minor bug that affected multiple CPU configuration.
A bug with the rate control video buffer verifier (VBV) that would enforce a "3 sec" max bitrate. Several bugs that affected Nth Pass encoding strategy planning.
A bug that caused a different number of frames to be reported between different passes in VirtualDub.
A bug that caused motion vector (MV) reuse to be non-functional.
A bug that caused problems when MV reuse and psychovisual mode were used together.
Several bugs with the installer.
A bug that caused a crash when setting crop/resize values.
