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.
