+=========================-
Welcome to DivX Codec 6.5!
In this update we have included several
user-requested enhancements to the codec that improve
the quality of the viewing experience.
In this update we have included several user-requested
enhancements to the codec that improve the quality of
the viewing experience.
The encoder now supports common NTSC and PAL pixel
aspect ratios so you can keep the full resolution of
your source video and the DirectShow decoder will
automatically use your video card to adjust the picture
dimensions during playback. The DirectShow decoder also
now supports de-interlacing, either in software or
accelerated by your video card. When using this feature,
you no longer see jagged edges and horizontal lines
during motion sequences in interlaced content and when
the hardware overlay is enabled you can see silky smooth
motion at 60 fields per second, which is perfect for
all of your 1080i video and DV footage!
Other enhancements include support for qMobile and
Mobile profile encoding to help you take your DivX
content with you anywhere and a 10% performance
improvement in the decoder, permitting either lower CPU
use during playback or better quality deblocking.
Once you are done creating your amazing new DivX video
try publishing it to Stage6, our new video community
website. Stage6 offers free hosting for high quality
DivX video files and allows visitors to watch them
live inside their web browser using the DivX Web Player,
now included as standard in the DivX for Windows and
DivX for Mac bundles. Publishers can see ratings and
comments from their viewers, create their own content
channels and, in the future, will even be able to earn
money from the videos they publish.

+=========================-
* Support for non-square pixel aspect ratios
The DivX Codec now allows you to keep the original
pixel aspect ratio of your source video, specifying
the appropriate aspect when encoding. This allows you
to maintain greater resolution and thus improve
picture quality during playback, especially when
watching videos at full-screen.
The DivX decoder for DirectShow will automatically
instruct your video card to use the correct aspect
during playback when the option to "Use advanced
hardware overlay" is enabled and set to "Original"
aspect in the Decoder Configuration Utility (see the
DivX programs group in your Start menu). This is now
the default setting after installation.
* Support for de-interlacing during playback
The DivX decoder for DirectShow can now de-interlace
video during playback. This means that when you play
an interlaced video clip you will no longer see jagged
edges around objects or horizontal lines running
across the picture during playback.
Two de-interlacing methods are available:
1) When de-interlacing is enabled but the advanced
hardware overlay is disabled, de-interlacing will
be performed in software and the frame rate will
remain unchanged. For example, if the DivX video is
30 frames/60 fields per second, then you will see
30 de-interlaced frames per second.
2) When de-interlacing and the advanced hardware
overlay are both enabled, de-interlacing will be
performed by your video hardware and the frame rate
will be doubled. For example, if the DivX video is
30 frames/60 fields per second, then you will see
60 de-interlaced frames per second.
De-interlaceing is enabled by default after installation.
* Improved decoder performance
The DivX decoder is over 10% faster, allowing for
either lower CPU use or better deblocking during
playback.
* Support for qMobile profile
This encoding profile is designed for certified mobile
devices and portable media players that support
resolutions of up to 176 x 144 at 15fps.
* Support for Mobile profile
This encoding profile is designed for certified mobile
devices and portable media players that support
resolutions of up to 320 x 240 at 30fps.
