What is DivX or similar formats? How do I convert my DVDs to this or similar format?
(A:)There are various formats in which digital video is saved on a computer (such as MPEG, Window Movie Format, QuickTime, etc). These video formats are combined together with an audio format in a container that holds information of how they combine, this may be an AVI or MPG file). DivX is another form of these video formats for playing video on a computer without wasting alot of space on the computer – the idea is to save space with special math that makes it small to store but can be restored for viewing by returning back most of the information, unfortunately the more complicated the math the harder your machine works to restore the information. We recommend you convert your DVDs to a format called MPEG1, it is a format that is not too big and not too intense on your machine (a perfect balance) – you can us a product such as ImToo DVD Convertor to covnert your DVDs.
