This version fixes lots of bugs found in DivX Pro 5.0.3, and it adds a new tool, EKG , that helps manually change the bitrate distribution for multi-pass encoding.

The Beta program is free and open to everyone.

Go grab the beta here: http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/beta/ The DivX 5.0.4 Beta 1 codec is limited to 30 days beginning on the day of installation. A final version of the codec will be released at the end of the Beta period; this release will be publicly announced on the DivX.com web site.

Beta testers who are not registered users of DivX Pro will need to update to the final version in order to keep using DivX after the beta period has expired. Beta testers who are currently registered users of DivX Pro will be able to use the Beta codec with no time limitation, but will be strongly urged to update to the final version at the end of the Beta period.

The main purpose of the External Beta Program is to gather valuable feedback for the benefit of our users. The Beta program is NOT designed to evaluate the DivX Pro Codec.

Users who discover bugs, inconsistencies or other issues should use the Bug Feedback Form to report their findings. This form is rather long and complicated, but please take the time to fill it out completely. The purpose of this form is not to annoy you, but rather to make sure we have all the valuable information necessary to understand and correct the submitted bug.

Bug feedback form: http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/beta/feedback.php

To help us process your valuable feedback, please make sure that all the hardware configuration fields, DivX Codec configuration fields and bug reports fields on the report are COMPLETED in full. The bug title and bug description must be as clear and understandable as possible. Please take your time when filling out the feedback form, especially when detailing the steps to recreate your bug. We prefer to have one properly described bug feedback per user rather than several quickly submitted but incomplete reports.

We have also created a Beta forum to allow users to share their thoughts and issues regarding the Beta release. The Forum is not a place to post bugs—all bugs MUST be submitted using the Bug report form. The Beta forum will include a sticky post that summarizes all the bugs discovered in order to avoid double submission.
