Dr. DivX

Dr. DivX is a useful application designed to help you convert video clips to the DivX format. The program uses the DivX codec in order to encode the video format in order to be used with DivX compatible devices.

The DivX codec is a popular option for the users that want to minimize the size of the video files while maintaining an acceptable image quality. It has been adopted by multiple devices such as DVD players that can play the video format without other enhancements or tweaks.

This application intends to help you transcode multiple file formats such as MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB and AVI. Before configuring the application you need to load it in the program which can take a lot of time even for small files.

The interface of the program can accommodate both casual users and the users with previous experience in video encoding. The first ones can simply load a video file and choose a preset quality from the available templates while the latter can fine tune the output by changing the codec settings.

You can use the Advanced section to crop the original video, to change the aspect ratio or the nose reduction method for better results. The combination of settings can be saved to a custom profile in order to be loaded later for other tasks.

Dr. DivX has the ability to watch a certain folder from your computer and to automatically load and encode the supported video files to the DivX Media format. You can also set the application to start encoding the files immediately after start up.

Overall, Dr. DivX is an easy to use tool for creating DivX files for media players. However, it is not actively maintained and it lacks support for the latest versions of the DivX codec. It is recommended to search for another encoding solution in order to optimize your video clips.
