DIVX to DV: Convert Video from DIVX(DivX Video) to DV(Digital Video Cassette) with River Past Video Cleaner, DIVX2DV converter, conversion
What is
DIVX?
DivX is a brand name of products created by DivX, Inc. (formerly DivXNetworks, Inc.),
including the DivX Codec
which has become popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small
sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality. The DivX codec uses lossy MPEG-4 Part 2 compression, also known as MPEG-4
ASP, where quality is balanced against file size for utility. It is one of several codecs
commonly associated with "ripping", whereby audio and video multimedia are transferred to a hard disk and transcoded.
Many newer "DivX Certified" DVD players are able to play DivX encoded movies,
although the Qpel and global motion compensation features
are often omitted to reduce processing requirements. They are also excluded from
the base DivX encoding profiles for compatibility reasons.
To convert from DivX video, you will need to either get the DivX codec from
www.divx.com, or use a compatible decoder
like ffdShow, which is part of CCCP.
What is
DV?
The format was first called DVC (as in Digital
Video Cassette), later it was called simply DV. It is used in many consumer
and professional grade digital camcorders.
Digital video (DV) can be captured from a DV camcorder, stored in a file
on the user's computer, or stored on tape using a video tape recorder (VTR).
On Windows, DirectShow based DV capture program normally capture the DV into
an AVI file. However, QuickTime
based software would generally create a .DV file without the AVI header.
To convert video to DV, please have Apple QuickTime is
installed.
