DivX Web Player

The DivX Web Player is an embeddable web video player that lets you add DivX videos to your website, blog or social networking profile. When embedded on a web page, it looks like this:



Pretty nifty, huh? When you’re ready to try it out for yourself, just enter the required information on our handy DivX Web Player Code Generator page, then click ‘Generate’ and the generator will spit out HTML you can simply copy and paste to embed the DivX Web Player on your web page.

Live from Barcamp...not really

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.

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.

Updated Flash splitter and config again

I updated

AllInOne.rar
DCDShowPlaybackPlugin.rar

and the link to the Flash Splitter. This version of the splitter comes with an installer. So no need anymore to manually register the filter.

The config file now supports VP6F (found in more recent Flash versions). Additionally I changed the GUID from Haali Simple Media Splitter to Haali Media Splitter and added 0x0000 (Audio Codec: unknown) to the ffdshow audio section.

If somebody got Matroska files with subtitles, could she/he please give the new config a try? Connected should accept these files now. The subtitles still won't play, but at least Connected should no longer refuse to accept these files.

Additionally *.ogg audio and Matroska with OGG audio should now play.

ZIP/RAR: Some users complained that they couldn't unzip the prior *.zip files or ended up with garbage. So I changed all the archives to RAR format instead. To each rar file a zip version still exists. Simply replace the .rar file ending in the link with .zip.

Look here for the latest versions:
