Enjoy stunning video with the integrated hardware acceleration in DivX Pro Software. The DivX Accelerated feature offloads the intensive processing required for video playback and conversion from the application to the system’s CPU. This allows you to enjoy an improved video experience while freeing up your computer’s resources for other tasks.
When DivX Accelerated is enabled in DivX Player, you may notice a significant drop in CPU usage, as video decoding is smoothly offloaded to your computer’s powerful media hardware. With reduced CPU strain, you can enjoy HD or 4K videos in DivX Player, even while multitasking. In DivX Converter, enabling DivX Accelerated can dramatically speed up your video encoding process, resulting in an average increase of 25-50% in encoding speed compared to relying solely on software.

DivX Pro – Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| ✓ Supports popular video formats such as DivX, MKV, HEVC, and MP4, with playback and conversion available at up to 4K resolution. | ✗ Several advanced capabilities require the paid upgrade or separate add-ons, including custom encoding options, HEVC 10-bit playback, cloud conversion, and enhanced audio features. |
| ✓ Hardware-accelerated playback and conversion can reduce CPU load and improve encoding speed on supported systems. | ✗ The current system requirements list only 64-bit Windows 10/11 and supported 64-bit macOS releases, limiting compatibility with older systems and other platforms. |
| ✓ Provides detailed conversion controls for bitrate, resolution, file size, frame rate, cropping, merging, rotation, and reusable custom presets. | ✗ The current release removed DivX Media Server, so the article’s older descriptions of built-in computer-to-TV media serving no longer apply to the current software. |
| ✓ Supports multiple audio and subtitle tracks, including up to eight audio tracks and common subtitle formats such as SRT, ASS, and SSA. | ✗ Some specialized functions require separate components or purchases, such as the MPEG-2 Video Pack for non-encrypted DVD conversion and additional AC3 or DTS-HD support. |
| ✓ Batch queues and post-conversion actions such as sleep, hibernate, log off, or shutdown make it suitable for longer conversion jobs. | ✗ The DFX Audio Enhancer is available only for Windows, so macOS users do not receive that particular audio enhancement option. |
