New DivX encoder outputs h.264

DivX has released the first edition of its software that encodes h.264, but you'll need to sign up for beta testing if you want to get it now. Remember what a CLI is? You'll be using it a lot here.

We'll cover everything from encoder installation to the third-party software nedeed to create and play MKV files, tools for video processing, some of the constraints in the draft DivX 7 H.264 HD video profile and some tips on customizing your experience with the encoder for easier, more automated multipass encoding. Our guide should be very easy to follow so grab a cup of tea and let us teach you the basics! In the near future we'll also discuss the draft profile in more detail for those who are interested.

DivX H.264 Encoder Alpha 1 & Tutorial [DivX Labs] — Cheers, Bruce!
