Divx 7 questions

[zahar cristal]

Hi
I have heard that the new divx 7 when will be released will work with mkv containers.My questions are that if this version will work also with older type of divx video files .avi and decode them?And another question is that this new version will decode mkv files that now contain video encoded with h264 too?Or how it will work??

Its a new file format for sure... It will support all the old features such as avi and avi2.0(ie divx w/menus) But will add support for h.264/mkv which offers a load more options for encoding as far as multiple audio streams, Smaller file size {relative}, Smaller processor load on decode. Plus some other things Divx might or might not be considering...

avi2.0(ie divx w/menus)

AVI 2.0 (aka OpenDML) is an extension to the original AVI (aka AVI 1.0), which resolves the 4 GB limitation, but it certainly doesn't support menus. In contrast to AVI 2.0, those ".divx" files with menus and multiple titles are a proprietary extension to the AVI format ...

No rumors. We're still testing alpha release.
