Divx in MP4?

[siddharthagandhi]

This is a noob question probably but I'll ask it anyway. Xvid, Divx, all of those kind of codecs are all MPEG-4 ASP (MPEG-4 Part 2). So why isn't divx encoded in an MPEG-4 container? Or is it possible to do that, its just that I didn't find the right encoder?

And yes I did search.

Also one more question. Are there any encoders ONLY for Divx? A divx-dedicated encoder?

Erm, Dr. Divx? Divx Converter?

Like what Slitheen said - basically anything like products released by Divx Networks is a start.

Oh yea okay i forgot about those. Anything non-divx?

Because until now DivX people have decided to not actively support MP4. Understandable considering they developed their own extended-AVI container format.

You can however normally encode DivX to an AVI file and remux to an MP4. MP4Box is best suited for that task.
