- 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.
- The M4V file format is a video container format developed by Apple and is very similar to the MP4 format, with the primary difference being the optional Apple Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. M4V files are commonly used for TV episodes, movies, and music videos in the iTunes Store. These files can be played on Apple devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPods, as well as on PCs using iTunes or other compatible media players.
