The
DivX video coding format revolutionized the multimedia world, specially when referring to film editing and compressing, because it finally allowed us to enjoy better image quality with a very good
compression ratio. This allowed compressing a film to fit in a CD with excellent quality, thanks to the MP3 audio
codec and the
