DivX is a highly compressed video format. Many users like DivX video because you can capture video at 352 x 240 (352 x 288 PAL) and get about 2 hours of video on a single CD. DivX files can be played back by several models of new DVD Players. DivX capture is supported in CapWiz for PC’s with CPU speed of 1.8 GHz or faster. If your PC does not have a 1.8 GHz CPU, you will see the following message.
