The Best Just Got Better: DivXNetworks Takes MPEG-4 Video Technology to New Heights

November 15, 2001

DivX(TM) is First MPEG-4 Codec to Achieve Software-Based Full-Resolution Real-Time Encoding and High-Definition Resolution Decoding; New Release is up to 78% Faster Using Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor

SAN DIEGO, November 15, 2001-In an industry first, DivXNetworks, Inc. today announced the release of a new version of the patent-pending DivXTM MPEG-4 video codec optimized for software based full resolution (720 x 480) real-time encoding and High-Definition(HD) resolution video decoding. DivXTM 4.11, available for download at www.divx.com/divx, also uses Intel’s Pentium® 4 processor to achieve up to 78% faster encoding speed when encoding video files from a YUV source, which are commonly provided by real time capturing and editing solutions.

The first software-based MPEG-4 technology to achieve real-time encoding at full-screen resolution, DivX 4.11 represents a breakthrough in video compression technology. Optimized to work with the leading multimedia-enabled Pentium® 4 processor, the new version achieves a level of speed and performance previously impossible.

“With these new advancements in real-time encoding and HD decoding, we have once again shown that DivXTM is far and away the best video compression technology on the market,” said Jérôme Rota, co-founder of DivXNetworks (www.divxnetworks.com) and the creator of DivXTM technology. “Pentium® 4 technology allows us to achieve an incredible level of encoding speed, and a great deal of credit must be given to our team of world-class codec engineers for optimizing video performance in amazing ways.”

DivXTM video compression technology enables full-screen, full-length, near-DVD quality digital video at up to 7 times greater compression than MPEG-2 files, allowing viewers to download a full-length feature film in 30 minutes or less over a broadband connection. DivXNetworks estimates over 25 million total downloads of DivXTM video technology since its launch in late 1999, positioning DivXTM as the most popular and widely distributed MPEG-4 based technology.
