This enables the DVD player to play back videos compressed in the DivX© format. This results in playback quality with less artefacts and higher compression. DivX©Video data are packed into the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3 data, this means: DivX©Video and MP3 audio form the AVI file.
