DivX Releases New Software For
Easy Creation of High-Quality Videos With Advanced DVD-Like Features
User-Friendly DivX Author Program Creates Videos With Menus, Chapters, Subtitles And More; Files Are Interoperable With DivX Ultra Certified DVD Players
DivX, Inc. (NASDAQ: DIVX), the company that created the revolutionary, patent-pending DivX® video compression technology, today announced the release of the new software application, DivX Author at the 2007 CES trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada. Created in partnership with Pegasys and TMPG, Inc., DivX Author gives users the tools to create DivX files with advanced DVD-like features including menus, chapter points, multiple subtitles and multiple audio tracks.
DivX files with advanced features are fully compatible with DivX Ultra Certified consumer electronics devices available on the global market today, and can also be played back on any of over 50 million DivX Certified devices from a variety of manufacturers.
Simple to use, DivX Author combines DVD-like interactivity with the excellent compression and visual quality users have come to expect from the DivX media format. When constructing videos with advanced features, DivX Author allows users to choose from built-in menu templates or to fully customise their own files through a robust menu creation process.
“DivX Author is a powerful, easy-to-use product that will enable users to take full advantage of all the advanced features offered by DivX,” said DivX, Inc. CXO, Kevin Hell. “Perhaps most importantly, DivX Author is a key piece of our strategy to build a common media language that spans platforms and devices, as interactive DivX files are fully compatible with DivX Ultra Certified DVD players, so users can playback their videos beyond the PC in a real home theatre environment.”
DivX Ultra Certification is the highest level of DivX certification and ensures hardware support for advanced features such as menus, chapters, multiple subtitles and multiple audio tracks. It guarantees a rich cinematic experience and greater interoperability for DivX video files. For more information about DivX Ultra Certification please visit http://www.divx.com/certification/.
