- 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.
- Created by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), SIXEL is a bitmap image format in an escaped sequence (seen as six pixels high and one pixel wide). You have to convert it into a more accessible format if you don’t have a DEC terminal to view it.
