Ok so BarcampSD was last weekend. It was great to hang out with all the tech geeks of San Diego and of course all the DivX fans. We did a couple presentations at Barcamp and here is the video from them.
First is a glimpse into the Connected SDK. Remember the Plug-in contest is still going on. Get those plug-ins entered to win some awesome prizes.

No video? Get the DivX Web Player for Windows or Mac
Second video is a look at the DivX mobile work flow and some cool things you can do with our mobile hardware and software and how it works with all DivX devices.

DivX Web Player 1.4.1 Beta 1

We've updated DivX Web Player with improved support for Windows Vista, including better video quality and support for Internet Explorer 7 when running in Protected Mode. If you have experienced any trouble with the web player on Vista in the past, please try this new version!

DivX Converter 6.6.1 Beta 1

DivX Converter has been updated to support the latest versions of QuickTime and also to better handle multilingual audio and subtitle tracks. Read on for details and access to the download!

To make things easier you can now download DivX Mobile Player directly here on DivX Labs, just Join the DivX Mobile Community and a whole new realm of possibilities will open up for you here. If you do not have a Labs account you need to sign up. Downloading from mobile.divx.com is of course also still an option.

If you have questions or comments, please use the DivX Mobile Forum.

An updated Beta version of DivX Mobile Player is now available for Windows Mobile PocketPC and Windows Mobile Smartphone. There is no update for Symbian at this time, but check back for an update soon. There is no version available for iPhone, Blackberry or Palm Garnet OS phones.

We have a feeling a lot of you have some really cool ideas for DivX Connected Plug-ins but were just waiting for the right incentive to get developing. Well, you don’t have to wait any longer. We’re hosting a DivX Connected Plug-in development contest where we ask developers to create plug-ins for the DivX Connected platform and compete for fame, bragging rights and some nifty prizes.

DivX Codec 6.8 introduced two major improvements over older versions - multithreaded decoding and support for custom quantization matrices. In addition, DivX Codec 6.8.2 will contain fixes for several issues reported to us since the 6.8 release, including better support for dual monitors and for older DivX files.

Please read this before you log in to DivX Labs.
The next time you log in to DivX Labs you will be prompted to read and accept an updated terms-of-use statement including a new plug-in/themes creation and publication license agreement. The new agreement allows you to publish DivX Connected Themes for others to use; it protects you and your developments meaning that your themes are yours and stay yours.

Just look up and you will find the log-in bar at the top of the site, including links to your stuff and to sign out. The 'My Stuff' link will take you to your profile page, where you can manage your buddy list, upload an avatar, tell others about yourself and see a list of groups you are a part of.

Many of you have requested anamorphic encoding, so here it is. Dr. DivX 2.0.1 Beta 7 includes support for PAL and NTSC anamorphic encoding. Of course there was some bug fixing going on again as well.

Get this latest beta from the Dr. DivX download page. You can post questions and comments here or on the Dr. DivX Forum. Take a look at the changelog for updates.

For interested developers, a compilable source is available on Sourceforge.net.
