Macpower & Tytech TVisto User Manual - Divx®
■
DivX®
DivX® is a new format for digital video. The DivX® codec is based on the MPEG-4
compression standard, which is so advanced that it can reduce an MPEG-2 video (the same
format used for DVD) to ten percent of its original size.
The TVisto is fully compatible with DivX® format and can play any movie encoded with this
compression format no matter which version of the encoder used: 3.11, 4.x, 5.x. GMC and
Qpel encoding is not supported on the TVisto.
If you want to use external text subtitles,
we recommend saving them as .srt or .sub
text files. Please pay attention that in
order for the TVisto to display the
subtitles, both “movie.avi” and
“movie.srt” should be placed in the
same directory
.
In order for the TVisto to display the
subtitles, the subtitle file should be a
Unicode file.
To do so, open the .sub, .smi
or .srt file with the notepad text editor,
select “Save As” and choose the Unicode
option from the Encoding combo box. See
adjacent image for details.
