A while ago a new DivX beta codec was released named Manihi. Today we can find another new beta
release on the DivX.com website. Beta 2 of the DivX Pro Codec is called Kaukura and has the following changes:
|  DivX Pro Codec Beta 2 - Kaukura:
- Psychovisual mode:
- Speed Optimization
- Psychovisual mode is now capable of operating on Chroma. This option is not enabled by default for performance reasons. In order to enable it you must create an empty file in C: called "DivxPvShapingChroma.txt" for "fast" mode and "DivxPvSimpleChroma.txt" for slow mode. Results show a very little gain (around 1-2%) in JND tests.
Fixed: - A bug with different number of frames between passes with VirtualDub
- GUI improvements
- A bug with MV (reuse) and psychovisual mode used together
- Installer issues
- Crashes involving setting crop/resize values

As many of our visitors will know DivX is used to compress movies to about a tenth of their original size with a minimum loss in video quality. You can download a trial version of this latest beta release from the DivX.com
website. Please use our
