DivX just announced an update to both the DivX Pro codec and the DivX Create bundle. DivX Pro 6.1 optimizes the latest version of the DivX codec for HyperThreaded processors and dual-core systems, while also adding some performance enhancements for standard processors as well. While the performance enhancements for playback are certainly significant, the more interesting improvement is in encoding speed for converting your movies to DivX AVI files. DivX Create is noticeably faster than the previous release while still delivering similar video output. I don't have benchmarking gear available to prove the exact numbers the company is claiming, but encoding time is definitely better than the previous version while maintaining similar playback quality.
