DivX is a collection of products which includes the DivX Codec, DivX Player, DivX Converter, and the DivX Web Player. The DivX Codec has become popular due to its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining relatively high visual quality. It uses lossy MPEG-4 Part 2 compression, also known as MPEG-4 ASP, where quality is balanced against file size for utility. It is one of several codecs commonly associated with “ripping”, where audio and video multimedia are transferred to a hard disk and transcoded.

Following up on the improvements we added for HD support
in the 6.7 release, we’ve added additional optimizations
to our decoder to take full advantage of multi-core
computers. These latest advances allow the decoder to
perform up to 50% faster on multi-core machines making
HD content playback even better!

Additionally we have added the option to utilize custom
quantization matrices into our encoder. This will allow
you die-hard perfectionists to fine tune the encoder for
specific content types such as anime or CGI.

Judging by all the double figure percentage performance increases I have seen this software obtain over the years, surely it is now more optimised than anything ever!
