New DivX Video Converter From MainConcept

by Alan Harten

MainConcept GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DivX, Inc. and one of the world’s leading providers of video and audio codecs, as well as software development kits to the broadcast, film and consumer electronic markets, today announced that it has released the next step of its Cross Platform Encoder application called MainConcept™ Reference 1.5, in a new version for Mac/Intel.

This follows last month’s announcement that the company was releasing its new PEG Pro™ HD 3.2 Plug-In for Adobe ® Premiere ® Pro CS3, a support system for HD Video editing.

This was considered by many to be a technological leap for the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 when it will be utilised with the upcoming XDCAM HD 422 camcorder from Sony

DivX has proved to be very popular because it provides a simple way of shifting video and audio from one format to another, quickly and without quality degradation.

MainConcept’s successor of the renowned Mac Encoder allows the quick and easy conversion of multiple audio and video formats, with renowned MainConcept quality, including H.264/AVC, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 Part 2, VC-1, DVCPRO HD, JPEG2000, AAC and HE-AAC.

Consumers and professionals alike will benefit from numerous ready-to-use presets, including those for Blu-ray, Adobe Flash, DVD, Sony PSP, Apple iPod, AVCHD, XDCAM EX, XDCAM HD and many more.

Reference 1.5 allows exporting to uncompressed RAW/YUV files and supports the export of WMV and Adobe Flash compliant F4V files to provide video content for AVC/H.264 live streaming with the latest version of Adobe’s Flash Media Server 3, MPEG-4 Part 2 and H.263.

The encoder also includes MPEG-4 presets for Apple iPod, Sony PSP and other mobile devices.

The original DivX for the Windows market supported not only English but also Japanese, French and German.

The full pack contained the DivX Web Player, the DivX Codec, the DivX Web Player and the Stage6 Content Uploader Utility.

The DivX Player plays all plays AVI and .Divx files as well as MP3 audio.

Powerful features such as batch encoding, watch folder support and logo blending further enhance the daily production workflow. Even command line control is available.
