DivX 5.0.1 (Pro) Bundle

Thanks to JediXAngel for posting this info on the forums. A codec (short for compression-decompression) is the technology that compresses a digital video file down to a size small enough to transport over the Internet.

Bugs 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.
