How can you prevent the DivX logo from appearing in your converted movies encoded with DivX?

Question

Help?! How can you disable the logo from appearing in your converted moives? What are the step by step process. I have a JetAudio player/converter and I can't find any option there... Should i update my DivX codec? if ever whre can i download a free one? Thanks! :)

Answer 1

MPEG-4 hardware player shows why we think its important for hardware manufacturers or consumer electronic manufacturers to work with us (DivX) to ensure that content actually plays back well on devices. Unfortunately there are a few companies who don't seem to understand or care about high quality, stability and performance. It really irritates me that many of these companies are marketing how their devices play DivX or XviD content well and this is just not the case. Because we (DivX) knew this would happen we created our certificaton program to try and prevent companies from trying to confuse and misinform users into believing they are getting a DivX player. We decided we had to make sure these devices work the way they should otherwise users would have a horrible experience. People keep asking why devices haven't come out sooner supporting DivX and this is why, we don't want them to unless it works the way we as users would expect it to! And the good thing is we have quite a few partners very close to full certification. KISS-Technology as a partner is a great example. They understand how important it is to ensure their product performs very well and as they would expect it to if they spent the cash on it. Stayed tuned for quite a few more in the coming months.

A few things on why these companies are experiencing problems. These companies are use to creating cheap MP1\VCD, and MP2 Players that can't deal with data rate spikes you see in DivX from using Variable Bit Rate. They can't afford the memory required to handle this influx of data during peaks (overflows the memory bucket) and this and weak processors are the cause for most of these problems. It's combination of weak hardware and little memory yet they don't seem to care that they are selling these devices emphasizing DivX and XviD playback as a key feature when in fact the experience is horrible. That's why on DivX 5.0.4 we created the new Rate Control Algorithm which has something called VBV (Video Buffer Verifier). This ensures that data can still have spikes but in a way that will not create problems on hardware. VBV defines the memory size. For each hardware manufacturer working with us they must be able to handle content within this VBV range ++. This ensures they can handle the memory. We of course also verify performance (frame rate) and most importantly that quality is acceptable. This is a challenged since even though our partners use the authentic DivX Hardware SDK's we created they still have to build hardware so that it can handle the performance required for playback (fast hardware with enough memory). So regardless of who the partner is we don't allow our name to be used on the box stating DivX Compatible or Certified unless they meet these requirements. Of course companies will say plays DivX or XviD but unless you see our ugly stamp saying certified then I would caution trusting it.

I think many people haven't understood the importance of why we created a DivX Certification program. This is exactly why we did this. We knew this would happen. This ensures that when a DivX user user see's an authentic DivX Certification logo on a product they would know that we in fact certfied the product in being able to handle DivX content. If it doesn't have it then I can't comment on its ability to be a good reliable product. If it can't handle DivX it can't handle XviD or possibly many other flavors of MP4 codecs. It's unfortunate there are companies doing this as I'm sure plenty of people are going to be spending money on devices that can't do what they expected them to do when they payed for them. So please make sure either you get good honest feedback on a product claiming it can playback DivX or XviD and of course if it has our Certification Logo you'll know we spent quite a bit of time with our hardware partners making sure we that this works the way it should.

Damn that was a long post! Sorry this subject has just irrititated me lately seeing all these devices and knowing that they would not work making me feel as if these companies are knowingly taking money from people selling something that doesn't work.

Answer 2

Use a different encoder program, it's this not the codec embedding it.

I use Movie Edit pro to edit and master DVDs and it does DivX output with no hallmarks, as does Clone DVD Mobile
