New DivX 5.2 and new Dr.DivX is out !
DivX 5.2 :
New:
Localized versions for French, German and Japanese
Bi-directional coding using an adaptive method
Fully adaptive multiple consecutive B-frames
MPEG-2/H.263 quantization choice
Built-in bitrate calculator
Update checking tool
Automatic update notification for the DivX encoder
Fast mode, revamped for better performance, compression and quality
Feedback mode which is now multithreaded, taking advantage of HyperThreaded or dual CPU for better efficiency
3 point GMC support in the DivX decoder
Changed:
"Slowest" mode removed as the quality differential with "Slow" mode was insignificant, yet the performance differential was massive
DivX Pro Adware bundle replaced by DivX Pro 6-month free trial
Improved:
Smooth playback supporting multiple consecutive B-frames
Quantizer, now using quant scale in video packets
Fixed (Encoder):
A rare issue where rate control sometimes inserted Q=31 frames in video combining low light conditions, high bitrate and specific motion patterns
Fastest mode to respect the user-specified average bitrate (Old "Fastest" behavior can be obtained by disabling profiles and performing 1-Pass, Quality-based encoding with Q=3)
Fixed (Decoder):
A crash occurring in some rare cases with clips that have dimensions divisible only by 2 and use YUY2 color mode
Black screen when decoding old buggy MPEG-4 clips that lack VOL header
Internal flush operation with "Smooth playback" feature
Intra inverse quantization (type 1)
Support for generic MPEG-4 (XVID and 3ivX)
Data partitioning clip
Deblocking to no longer cause solid blocks to appear during playback
DivX decoder to always play DivX video

Dr.DivX 1.0.5 :
New:
Surround sound AC-3 audio support
High Definition transport stream encoding
MP3 CBR/VBR audio encoding support
Audio boost to fix low audio encoding
Audio stream name detection from DVD input (must have IFO file)
Additional 15 day trial extension
Latest 5.2 codec
Adaptive bi-directional coding
MPEG-2 quantization
Bitrate calculator
Automatic updates
Improved:
The DVD backup VOB analysis
Video analysis
File input analysis
MP3 audio bitrate level options
Simplicity of registration and activation process
Accuracy of file splitting
DV encoding to incur less dropped frames
Accounting for RIFF chunk overhead resulting in more accurate file sizes
Interlaced/progressive settings
Fixed:
Slow audio bug for certain DV cameras
Dropped frames when capturing to DV
Duration analysis bug which caused MPEG-2 streams to be detected with shorter durations
Crashes and halts which occurred when a third party AC3 decoder was not present
A bug causing DV audio to be slowed when sampling rate was below 44.1 Khz
The opening of transport (.ts) stream files
Encoding for playback on PocketPC player
A bug wherein file splitting would cause a crash on 2nd pass
A bug that caused Dr. DivX to crash when using VirtualDub filters
A bug wherein changing the MV path could cause an MV error in two pass encodes (MV is now removed from the codec and Dr. DivX as a feature)
An issue with hidden DivX and Custom Profile area

Enjoy !
