The world of online movies is buzzing about DivX, but what exactly is it? In simple terms, DivX is a digital video compression format, based on MPEG-4 technology, that allows you to download movies much faster without sacrificing video quality.
Imagine you want to download a two-hour movie. A standard DVD file is around 4.7 GB, which could take up to three days to download. This is where DivX comes in handy.
DivX, developed by DivXNetworks, compresses those large DVD files by a factor of 7 to 10, while preserving the high-quality visuals and audio. This means a download that would typically take 72 hours can now be completed in just 3 to 6 hours, depending on your internet connection.
If your DVD player supports DivX/XviD playback, you can burn the downloaded DivX movie onto one or two CDs (depending on the file size) and watch it on your TV. Remember to keep the copies for personal use only.
So, get ready to download movies faster, grab some popcorn, and enhance your home theater setup for the ultimate viewing experience.
