Preview of DivX Accelerated Solution: DivX ASP Decoder Filter 6.10 Beta

Get the best possible playback of your DivX movies with DivX Accelerated™ products from AMD. Using this decoder filter and a supported AMD Radeon™ HD 6800 or 6900 series of graphics card, you can enjoy an improved DivX video playback experience:

• Low CPU usage
• Extended notebook battery life
• Superior overall computer operation

In 2011, this technology will also be enabled in DivX Plus Player and DivX Plus Web Player.

Today is a great day! We’ve been working really hard over the last year on the latest version of DivX Software. DivX 8 you ask? Nope. We call it DivX Plus Software even though technically it is version 8. Why? Because it’s leaps and bounds ahead of DivX 7 in a couple of ways:

• It’s completely redesigned from soup to nuts and debuts new format features
• Provides an easy way for users to transfer their videos to DivX devices.

DivX Plus Software truly is the beginning of our vision for what DivX Plus will become as DivX Plus Devices start to hit the market.

The DivX Plus software bundle includes a new version of the DivX H.264 Decoder, which comes as part of the codec pack, introducing support for hardware-accelerated playback of DivX Plus HD video using DirectX Video Acceleration. In conjunction with supported video chipsets and drivers the new decoder allows you to watch 1080p video with almost no CPU load on Windows XP, Vista, and 7.

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.
