The DivX brand promise is to connect
people and entertainment, enabling
greater access, flexibility and control.
Since its beginning in 2000, DivX has
worked to offer a high quality digital
media experience on the computer, in
the living room and on the go. Today,
DivX is a globally recognized brand
with over 500 million DivX devices
shipped worldwide and software that’s
been downloaded over 750 million
times. Consumers can easily find DivX
videos across the internet, including
many retail stores around the world
that sell Hollywood movies for purchase
in the DivX format. Consumers can
buy DivX Certified devices from their
favorite CE brands at virtually any
major retailer in the world and enjoy
DivX video anywhere they want.
Consumers worldwide seek out DivX
Certified products because they know
that when they see the DivX logo
on a device, it means that they can
enjoy their collection of personal and
protected DivX videos beyond the PC.
DivX devices offer them the freedom
to take their videos off of the computer
to watch on the big screen in the living
room or on the go.
Consumer electronics companies can
differentiate their products through
DivX Certification, offering their users
high quality DivX video playback. Rovi
offers an end-to-end solution with
DivX technology to create, play and
stream content, and all from an open
alternative to Apple and Microsoft.
Additionally, the deep relationships
with leading OEMs, ICs, ISVs and
content studios and distributors help
keep the DivX ecosystem thriving.
When CE manufacturers submit
their devices for DivX Certification
and imprint the DivX logo on their
products, it links them to a digital
video ecosystem of more than 500
million devices that all play the
world’s most popular digital video
formats. DivX Certification protects
CE brands from poor consumer
experiences, because devices are
rigorously tested for high quality
playback of DivX digital video
formats. Most importantly, the
DivX logo assures consumers that
their devices will allow them to
enjoy their favorite DivX videos
anytime and anywhere.

DivX Content
Downloadable and streaming, high quality DivX video offers users the
freedom to enjoy content everywhere
The heart of the high quality DivX experience is content. DivX video
formats offer consumers the features they love, such as high quality
picture in smaller file sizes, multi-language audio tracks, multi-language
subtitles and video chapter points. Billions of DivX video files available
online means that consumers can easily find a wide range of entertainment
to enjoy. With the ability to watch DivX video on the variety of DivX Certified
devices, users have the freedom to enjoy their favorite shows, movies
and personal content as they wish.
Premium Hollywood movies in the DivX format are currently sold through
online stores in the U.S., Europe, Japan and China. Consumers can find
the latest titles from Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony, WB, Starz and Disney
to enjoy in their living room or on the go. The studio-approved DivX DRM
system has had millions of secure transactions since 2001 and is tied to
a user, not a particular device, for the ideal consumer experience.
The DivX community has also helped feed the pool of billions of DivX files
available on the internet. Users maintain large video collections of DivX
(.avi, .divx) and DivX Plus HD (.mkv) videos that can be enjoyed on
a computer or a DivX Certified device.

DivX Device Certification
Digital internet video is unpredictable and constantly changing. It’s not
optimized for CE devices, and videos found online are available in a
confusing array of file containers, A/V codecs, bit-rates, profiles and
more. DivX Certification provides a solution to these issues with standard
profile definitions to give consumers an easy way to enjoy their favorite
shows and movies.
The DivX Certification process puts each certified device through
rigorous in-house testing for interoperability with the valuable ecosystem
of DivX products. Every DivX Certified device is tested for DivX video
playback and contains DivX DRM, allowing the protected playback of
purchased content. Products certified by DivX cover the spectrum of
device categories from mobile phones and tablets to set-top boxes,
Blu-ray ® Disc players and DTVs.
• 500+ million DivX
devices shipped
• High quality playback

Why Certify With DivX
Certifying a product with DivX not only indicates high quality DivX video
playback, but also interoperability within the DivX video ecosystem. With
both personal and premium content – including studio-approved DivX
DRM protected files – there are billions of DivX video files for consumers
to enjoy. Free DivX software helps keep the ecosystem active with elegant
video playback and creation solutions. Finally, the introduction of DivX
Plus Streaming opens a new and improved way for consumers to enjoy
their entertainment on internet-connected devices.
DivX Certification means that devices are rigorously tested to ensure
that a defined DivX profile has been implemented correctly. Since a
large majority of the videos available on the internet are in DivX or
DivX-compatible formats, DivX Certification means that consumers
never have to convert their videos to enjoy them beyond the computer.
Most importantly, DivX Certification protects CE manufacturers’ brands
because it means that consumers will have a consistent, positive DivX
experience when they try to enjoy their favorite videos on their devices.
