Why DivX?

When I have recorded a video I need to transform it in a suitable format for the website. The orginal size of a 30 min. video captured from a digital video camera is around 6-7 GB. The download of such a large video file would take several hours by internet high speed connection. DivX is a very efficient codec which allows to compress large video files into very small videofiles with a brilliant picture quality. Therefore you can watch my DivX videos also on TV if you burn the videos on dvd or cd and play them with a DivX-format supporting DVD/CD-player.
