What is DivX?

DivX is a brand name of products created by DivX, Inc. (formerly DivXNetworks, Inc.), including the DivX Codec which has become popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality. There are two DivX codecs: the regular MPEG-4 Part 2 DivX codec and the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC DivX plus HD codec. It is one of several codecs commonly associated with “ripping,” whereby audio and video multimedia is transferred to a hard disk and transcoded.
