Convert XVID to DIVX

File Extension XVID
Full Name XviD Codec

XVID is an extension characteristic for files containing digital video generated on the basis of the Xvid codec library. Such encoding of video materials complies with the MPEG-4 part 2 encoding standard. Unlike the DivX codec, Xvid is a tool distributed under the GNU General Public License model.

File Extension DIVX
Full Name DivX Media Format

DIVX is a file used to store digital video materials. The content of such a file is encoded using the DivX lossy image compression method. This format complies with the MPEG-4 part 2 standard and allows you to generate video material with a resolution of up to 1080p.

What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "XVID") to another (referred to as "DIVX"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, XVID file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format XVID to format DIVX becomes essential.

So, how can we perform XVID to DIVX file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format XVID and transforming it into format DIVX. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of XVID to DIVX converters.
