- Description
- A DivX-Encoded Movie File, designated with the .divx file extension, is a digital video format that offers a high-quality, highly compressed viewing experience. Developed by DivX, LLC, this format is designed to compress lengthy video segments into smaller sizes without significantly sacrificing visual quality. This enables users to store and distribute high-definition videos more efficiently over limited bandwidth or storage capacities. The DivX codec, which is required to play these files, supports advanced multimedia features such as multiple video streams.
- A DDS file is a raster image saved in the DirectDraw Surface (DDS) container format. It can store compressed and uncompressed pixel formats and is often used for texturing video game unit models. DDS files may also be used to store Windows desktop backgrounds or wallpapers.
