DIVX Format

[-willie-]

Hi, I started watching system about two months ago after seeing it on "stage6.com" and loved it. But since "stage6.com" shutdown I have had a lot
of trouble watching the show. I don't have the fastest computer in the world, and all the video formats skip very bad, and I was wondering if you guys could start posting a 640x480 .divx format as well it is a very good format,
it downloads very fast and plays smooth even on my friends 6 year old machine.
It would be greatly appreciated.

Is XVID okay?

What do you use as a player? VLC plays all the available no-HD formats even on some pretty old harware.

Rev3 is considering dropping XviD videos in favor of using .MP4s with Advanced Simple Profile (pretty much exactly the same thing as XviD, just with a clearer specification and easier for the Rev3 guys to work with). Express your opinion here (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15922). The Rev3 guys are considering a shake-up of the available formats, and this is the official thread where they're asking for people's opinions on the proposed changes. They're specifically interested in hearing from people who will be adversely affected by the changes.

Okay, thanks a lot works great I think it was just Windows Media Player 11.

Try VLC. It can work wonders on older machines.

By the way .. XviD is sooo not the same thing as DivX. Just wanted to point that out.

true, they are not the same, however any XVid decoder can play Divx and almost every Divx decoder can play XVid (The exception being non-standard XVid's that were created with odd encoding settings.)

Well, those "non-standard XVid's that were created with odd encoding settings" that DivX can't read are actually XviD (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvid) streams that conform to XviD standards and parts of the MPEG-4 specification called Advanced Simple Profile (AKA: MPEG-4 Part 2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_2)). So in this case, it's DivX being non-standard and wanting you to pay for DivX Professional.
