File Extension | DIVX |
Full Name | DivX Media Format |
DIVX is a file used to store digital video materials. The content of such a file is encoded using the DivX lossy image compression method. This format complies with the MPEG-4 part 2 standard and allows you to generate video material with a resolution of up to 1080p.
File Extension | XVID |
Full Name | XviD Codec |
XVID is an extension characteristic for files containing digital video generated on the basis of the Xvid codec library. Such encoding of video materials complies with the MPEG-4 part 2 encoding standard. Unlike the DivX codec, Xvid is a tool distributed under the GNU General Public License model.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DIVX") to another (referred to as "XVID"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, DIVX file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format DIVX to format XVID becomes essential.
So, how can we perform DIVX to XVID file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DIVX and transforming it into format XVID. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of DIVX to XVID converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of DIVX to XVID. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the DIVX file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
