Compress videos and improve their quality
Functionality
The DivX H.264 Decoder (made by Free-Codecs.com) can be used to compress videos to roughly half the space of MPEG-2 (the DVD standard) to deliver the same high-quality video. It gives you the ability to decode videos and improve their quality whilst compressing the file simultaneously. It is fairly straightforward to use and the program comes with a configuration window that allows you to enable the use of a variety of functions. You have the possibility to adjust the video material including smoothing sharpness, deinterlacing, correcting brightness, contrast and saturation for example.
