What is it?

Dr. DivX is a cosmetic surgeon for your video collection. The doctor takes almost any frumpy old video file you have laying around and converts it into a sharp, lean mass of multimedia joy.

Audio/Video files are compressed using a codec. There are countless codecs to choose from although you usually don't make a conscious choice. You probably already have a bunch of video files encoded with a variety of codecs. The doctor will convert that mess into a library of tightly encoded DivX video files.

There are lots of reasons why everyone clamors for a library of DivX video files.

1. Due to all the poorly crafted codecs and players out there, lots of videos don't play very well. Dr. DivX can usually convert those to high quality versions that play back very smoothly and reliably.
2. Watch your videos on any computer! DivX compatible players are available on a wide variety of platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Palm OS, and Pocket PC.
3. Watch your videos on the go! With the right software, lots of mobile devices can play DivX video files including many cell phones and PDAs.
4. Watch your videos on your TV! There are many, surprisingly affordable DVD players on the market that easily connect to your television and playback DivX videos superbly. Just copy your DivX videos to a CD, DVD, memory card, or USB drive.
5. DivX files support features like multiple audio tracks, subtitles, chaptering, and interactive menus just like you find on a snazzy DVD.
