- 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.
- PCX, standing for Paintbrush Bitmap Image, is a raster image format developed by ZSoft Corporation for their PC Paintbrush graphics program. Initially released in the 1980s, PCX was one of the first widely used bitmap image formats on IBM PC compatible computers. The format supports 1-bit monochrome, 4-bit palette, 8-bit palette, and 24-bit true color images, allowing for a wide range of colors and shades.
