User manual ZENEC EGO COMPATIBILITY VIDEO FILES

[. . . ] Overview of compatibility of your ZENEC E>GO device with the most popular digital video file formats. Study this info sheet to acquaint yourself with the use and limitations of video files played from magneto optical disks as well as flash memory devices on your ZENEC naviceiver. [. . . ] 6) Files that are either not compatible with ZENEC E>GO devices, or which have been encoded/converted with wrong settings, will be quoted with: "No supported file" on the TFT screen. BACKGROUND INFO ON DIVX ENCODING & PLAYBACK DivX for video is, what the MP3 compression algorithm invented by the Fraunhofer Institute was for audio approx. A revolution for video data storage due to new and advanced compression algorithms helping to reduce file sizes to 1/5th even down to 1/10th. Jerome Rota who founded DivXNetworks in the late 90ies became famous being the programmer that had the technical lead on innovative video file compression software, allowing to fit a video of a Hollywood DVD movie onto a single CD-R without giving up too much of the picture quality. What started out as "Project Mayo" going commercial being known as DivX 4 end of the 90ies, is the successor of the initial software "hack" called DivX 3. 11 ;-). Rota extracted a Microsoft MPEG-4 codec from the MS Mediaplayer ­ to alter and modify it for best picture quality and lowest compression artifacts, which was no simple feat back in the day. The audience mostly is not fully aware that over 80% of the AVI files that are stored on file servers or floating around ­ think of any peer-to-peer network today - have been once encoded using DivX software. C O M DIVX PLAYBACK REQUIREMENTS For any AVI file that has been created with a DivX codec some basic encoding requirements must be met, to yield a file that is compliant with AVI standards. [. . . ] XVID is an open source project and was a direct spin off formed by programmers that were part of the dev team working on the "Mayo Project", when Jerome Rota decided to split and go commercial with DivX. 2 of 2 12/2009 W W W.
