Bookmark and Share Here's the video from the presentation we did at BarCamp SD 6 on the Intuit campus today.

This video was created using the methods described. It was captured with a Flip Mino HD as H.264/MP4, then edited with iMovie and exported as H.264/M4V with AAC audio, then muxed to MKV with MKVmergeGUI, uploaded to Blip.tv, and then posted to this page using the DivX Plus Web Code Generator here on DivX Labs.

I've also posted the slides from the presentation, which lists all the other cool and free software that can be used to make DivX Plus HD files (MKV/H.264/AAC), including audio editing, subtitle creation, and transcoding.

Feel free to post here or tweet questions to @DivXLabs on Twitter, where we'll also announce the winner of the video challenge that was described at the end of the presentation (post a video using this method and tweet a link to it using the #divxweb hash).

Thanks to all the attendees and we enjoyed going to the presentations as well :-)

That was great, DivX is epic. Now we can put a human face to the name, not just a cartoon face. I guess I'm pretty much up to date on most of that stuff though.

Anyway, about lossless that you touched on, that will truly become a reality once you guys have time to update the web player with the added support of M2V in MKV containers. Many videos that must be converted just end up with glitchy frames. Especially for those videos, we need M2V support. It's so aggravating to have to convert that stuff and upload it with ugly glitches.

Also, a bad thing is PCM will work in AVI/DivX files, but not in MKV files. Please test PCM in the MKV files with the web player.

Only those two fixes will make the DivX Plus Web Player a viable lossless streaming vehicle, that's what we need, especially since DOCSIS 3.0 web speeds are right around the corner for many of us loyal supporters.

It wouldn't hurt you guys to spread the word on Bywifi, since it supports the DivX Web Player, and will give a nice boost of acceleration. It's quite a big deal.

Anyway, again great speech. Viva La DivX!
