DivX Codec 6.0.3 Released

Published by

DivX 6 is available through two new product bundles: the DivX 6 Play Bundle and the DivX 6 Create Bundle. The DivX 6 Play Bundle contains everything you need to playback all types of DivX video, including the new DivX Media Format. The DivX 6 Create Bundle contains the DivX codec and DivX Converter enabling easy creation of DivX media.

What's New:

- Windows Explorer should now show thumbnails for DivX AVI files.
- The encoder now reports 24-bits per pixel similar to DivX 5 for compatibility with various applications.
- The DivX VFW decoder now has improved post-processing defaults and custom settings. Post-processing for the VFW decoder is disabled when it is set to 'Off' in the decoder configuration utility, set to full deblocking when 'Automatic Deblocking' is enabled, and set to full deblock + full dering when 'Fully Automatic' is enabled. Custom post-processing settings are also respected.
- The DivX DirectShow decoder now respects custom post-processing settings.
- When the DivX Settings Manager (DivXSM.exe) is not registered, the DirectShow decoder now uses full deblocking, no deringing, Generic MPEG-4 support and no logo overlay by default.
- The DivX decoder no longer executes an SSE instruction in an MMX routine that caused undesirable behavior on older processors.
- DivX 3 playback no longer fails when 'Use advanced hardware overlay' is enabled in the Decoder Configuration Utility.
- The DivX Settings Manager is no longer loaded when DirectShow attempts to connect the DivX decoder filter if the connection is ultimately rejected.
- Windows Media Player should no longer search online for codecs when all necessary codecs are already available.
- The DivX Pro trial dialogs will now allow you to activate any DivX product with a valid serial number.
- Serial number dialogs now strip invalid characters.
- Serial number dialogs now accept lower-case characters.
