anyone has tried to encode HDV, DVCPRO or AVCHD into DivX with this new codec? According to the DivX lab is possible....

Finally AR signaling... :Indeed...

Jeez. How many years ago did I ask about this feature?
We've also added support for custom pixel aspect ratios, allowing you to take common high-definition formats such as HDV, DVCPRO and AVCHD, and encode them at their native aspects with the appropriate PAR flagged in the video bitstream. Note that this feature requires an 'aware' decoder (e.g. DivX Player or the DivX Video Decoder for DirectShow)......

Seems there's also support for generating interlaced encodes with B-VOPs: -
One of the new features is the combination of bi-directionally coded frames and interlaced video. Due to limitations in certain chipsets, DivX Codec did not previously allow b-frames and interlace coding to be used together. However, all DivX 1080HD devices will support this pairing, leading to improved compression for 1080i video.

Both.... a long time coming but most welcome now they are here.

Not so! We didn't just spend the past few months working on AR signaling ;)
