Today, June 15th, we're excited to announce the official release of DivX 6!

The most advanced version of DivX video compression technology, the DivX Pro codec includes a suite of powerful encoding tools enabling the highest levels of visual quality, compression and control. DivX Pro plugs into your video software to produce high-quality movies (at one-tenth the size of a DVD) for viewing on your PC or, with DivX Certified DVD players, right on your TV.

The DivX Pro codec enables the production of studio-quality video previously only available with expensive professional video editing applications. Some features exclusive to DivX Pro include:
• Electrokompressiongraph (EKG) - Modeled after the tools used by Hollywood to master DVD video, the EKG is an advanced encoding utility offering unparalleled precision and control to refine visual quality to the highest level.
• Encoder Feedback Window - This exclusive feedback mode lets you modify advanced parameters and visualize results in real-time.
• Psychovisual Modeling - This advanced methodology exploits the peculiarities of the human eye to enhance fine details of complex visual scenes without increasing file size.
• Crop and Resize - This built-in feature boosts visual quality at lower resolutions or bitrates by adjusting video dimensions and removing black bars.
• Source Preprocessing - It automatically cleans source video to enable better compression and higher visual quality.
• Adaptive Bi-directional Frames - Intelligent B-frame selection enables smaller file sizes and higher quality.

The inclusion of the DivX Player in the DivX Pro bundle lets you play all DivX video ever created, including DivX 3, DivX 4, DivX 5 and the growing library of DivX VOD titles. The DivX Pro codec also adds DivX video playback support to most popular media players.

DivX Pro offers DivX Certified encoding profiles optimized for High Definition, Home Theater, Portable, and Handheld devices. Match the DivX Certified logo on your device to the logo in the DivX Pro encoder to create DivX movies on your PC that you can enjoy on your TV and on the go - only where you see the DivX Certified logo.
