HD Video Blogging Tutorial
DivX was proud to sponsor another year of BarCamp San Diego, hosted on the Intuit campus in Carmel Valley. There, we presented a workshop on HD Video Blogging with the DivX Plus Web Player, which went from device capture, to file preparation, to file hosting service, to live off a blog in glorious DivX Plus HD (MKV, H.264, AAC). We captured the event itself and it’s posted using the very same methods.

You asked for it, we built it.

We've been slaving away for months on a new version of DivX Web Player that includes a ton of new features. What's new? Well, DivX Plus (.mkv) support for one thing, and you can try it now by installing our DivX Plus Web Player Beta. You can now watch MKV videos right in your web browser, including all the features that made you love MKV in the first place, like bandwidth efficient H.264, multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and 5.1 channel audio. There is also support for dynamic seeking to jump around a video without downloading the whole thing.

What's in this preview?

This technology preview introduces support for DivX Plus HD (.mkv) video in applications using the Microsoft Media Foundation, a new framework introduced in Windows 7. The package includes a native version of the DivX MKV Demux as well as shell extensions that provide thumbnail images and detailed file information for files with either ".divx" (DivX 6) or ".mkv" (DivX 7) extensions for an enhanced experience.
