- Description
- Xvid-encoded video files are digital video files that have been compressed and encoded using the Xvid codec, an open-source video codec designed for compressing video data in order to facilitate faster transmission over computer networks or for more efficient storage on computer disks. Xvid, which is a reverse spelling of "DivX," emerged as a popular format due to its ability to compress video files without significant loss of quality.
- The MPG file format, short for MPEG Video, stands for Moving Picture Experts Group Video. It is a popular video file format standardized by the MPEG group, which is known for developing video and audio encoding standards. MPG files are compressed using either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 compression, making them suitable for storing video data in a compressed form without significantly sacrificing quality. This format is widely used for creating movies that are distributed over the internet due to its good balance between file size and video quality.
