DivX 10 released with support for HEVC video compression standard
DivX introduces a new version of its software products with support for the new HEVC video compression standard. Download the updated software at: http://www.divx.com/downloads/divx/1
Recall that the new standard HEVC / H.265 (High Efficiency Video Coding) is the receiver of the well-known, widespread and popular today standard ISO / IEC 14496-10 MPEG-4 Part 10 H.264 / AVC, which promises to increase the degree of video compression to 50 % with the same quality, as well as support for 4K and 8K resolutions (Ultra HDTV).
DivX is among the first to offer users a new compression standard. Playing and creating video in HEVC format is currently available only in the MKV (Matroska) container - http://matroska.org/
DivX 10 software is available for Mac OS X and Windows operating systems and includes:

Examples of HEVC videos in MKV are available on the DivX website: http://www.divx.com/en/hevc-showcase . In addition, you can download reference videos from BBC ftp: ftp://ftp.kw.bbc.co.uk/hevc/hm-11.0-anchors/bitstreams/ and then upload them to MKV using the patched version of MKV Merge: http: //labs.divx.com/node/127907
Also, DivX has already submitted a preliminary specification of profiles for HEVC: http://labs.divx.com/system/files/DivX_HEVC_Video_Profiles_DRAFTMay2013.pdf . This means that hardware support for HEVC video is just around the corner, and soon the first chips and devices certified to play DivX HEVC will appear. So far, 3 profiles are planned - HEVC 720p, HEVC 1080p and HEVC 4K, but perhaps a bit later, the HEVC 8K will also be introduced.

DivX 10 software is available for Mac OS X and Windows operating systems and includes:
- DivX Player is a player that allows you to play HEVC video in Matroska (MKV) files, as well as MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-4 ASP.
- DivX Web Player is an add-on (plug-in) for web browsers (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Opera) that allows you to play HEVC video up to 1080p inside web pages, and online (over the network). Also, the usual MPEG-4 AVC and MPEG-4 ASP formats are supported.
- DivX Converter is a video converter that allows you to convert video to HEVC format in order to experience the new format now. unfortunately, while encoding in HEVC is noticeably long in time (approximately 2 times slower than coding x264 very slow profile). But DivX is actively working on optimization and promises to speed up coding in future software versions.
