E' uscita la versione 5.2.1 del codec DivX.
Ecco i link alle varie versioni:
DivX 5.2.1 per Windows 98/ME
DivX 5.2.1 per Windows 2000/XP
DivXPro 5.2.1 per Windows 98/ME
DivXPro 5.2.1 per Windows 2000/XP
Vi posto un'estratto del readme con le modifiche di questa versione dato che sul sito non è stata aggiornata la lista dei cambiamenti.
DivX 5.2.1 now includes:
- Support for three new languages
DivX 5.2.1 is available in English, French, German, and Japanese.
- Encoder: Bitrate Calculator
You can now calculate the bitrate you need to hit a target file size
directly within the encoder configuration dialogue. Simply enter your
target file size, the length of your video, and the audio bitrate.
- Encoder: Adaptive Bi-directional Coding
Bi-directionally encoded frames were first introduced in DivX 5.0, giving
a staggering 20% reduction in file size at equivalent perceptual quality.
To date, all versions of DivX 5 have used only one bi-directionally coded
frame in sequence. DivX 5.2.1 expands the scope of this feature.
The DivX 5.2.1 encoder selects both single and multiple consecutive
bi-directionally coded frames adaptively, leading to higher compression
ratios and even better quality.
- Encoder: MPEG2 Quantization
DivX 5.2.1 has better scalability thanks to MPEG2 Quantization support.
Quantization plays an important role in the process of reducing the data
used to store the picture. DivX normally uses H.263 quantization, which
is optimal for low to high bitrate encoding. MPEG-2 quantization is
useful at extremely high bitrates.
- Encoder: Intel SSE3 (Prescott) Optimizations
The DivX 5.2.1 encoder features optimizations for Intel Prescott CPU's,
improving performance by up to 15%.
- Encoder: Multi-threaded Feedback Window
The encoder feedback window is now multi-threaded. If your PC has a
HyperThreaded CPU, or multiple CPU's, you can now enjoy the benefits of
real-time encoder feedback and control with minimal impact on encoding
performance.
- Decoder: Generic MPEG-4
The DivX 5.1 encoder included a Generic MPEG-4 decoding option. In this
release we have improved our generic MPEG-4 support so that your favorite
decoder can play more of your favorite movies.
- Decoder: Blocking fix (Oops!)
The 5.2.1 decoder corrects a small issue that can cause blocks to be
displayed along high-contrast edges in the picture, mainly affecting anime
content. Watch Pokémon as it was meant to be viewed once again!
- Automatic update
DivX 5.2.1 can check for updates automatically when you are connected to the
Internet, prompt you when new updates are available, and download them for
you.
- Handheld Profile update
The handheld profile has been updated to better reflect the capabilities
of DivX Certified devices already present in the consumer marketplace.
By encoding with the new Handheld profile you can create higher quality
video for your Handheld Certified device.
E' inoltre stato aggiornato il DrDivx alla versione 1.0.6
