Divx filme code#

But try and find a way to simply edit the codec tag. XviD was reverse engineered from DivX so all media players could play DivX files for free. I guessed, correctly, that all I had to do was to edit the DX50 metadata tag to, say, open source XviD, and it would probably play. Pay for an obsolete codec, that there is no way to apply to my Samsung tablet anyway, because the VLC devs weren’t clever enough to just bypass this restriction? I don't think so. For batch processing, you can use the following FFmpeg command line:

If you only have a few AVI files to fix, you can use AVI FourCC Code Changer 1.00.

(For videos encoded with the oldest DivX version, the FourCC is DIV3, and has to be changed to MP43). So, I started experimenting, and I found out that simply changing codec ID (also known as FourCC) in the AVI file from XVID (or, less common DIVX or DX50) into FMP4 fixes the problem! Also, takes time - not only to re-encode, but to choose appropriate encoding parameters. While this surely works, it involves re-compressing already compressed video - so it further degrades its quality. And what is especially strange, Samsung's built-in media player still supports such prehistoric codecs as MPEG-1 and MotionJPEG, and even proprietary ones as FLV (Flash Video) and Microsoft's WMV.Ī commonly suggested solution on the web is to re-encode your XviD videos into MP4s containing AVC (H.264) video inside. I'm aware this format is getting quite old now, but it is still somewhat popular, and I still have plenty of such files (kids' cartoons etc.). I was aware it does not support DTS audio (nor TrueHD), so this was expected however, I was quite disappointed it does not play my AVI XviD/DivX files. One of the first things I tried on my new TV was checking the playback of different video files. I've recently bought Samsung QLED Q95T (2020 EU model, currently on firmware 1460) and I'm quite happy with it!
