If you have at least a passing acquaintance with the world of Internet video, then you've probably encountered DivX, the compression technology used in a large number of videos. Well, DivX is getting an upgrade from version 5 to version 6, and it looks like a whole bunch of new features are going in. As far as I can tell, the upgrades adding subtitles, menus and different audio tracks make using DivX more like watching a DVD then downloaded video.
Firstly, XSUB™ subtitles are being put in, which lets you create video files with multiple language subtitle sets. Interactive menus are being put in, allowing you DVD style access to scenes, bonus features and audio track and subtitle options. Chapter points are also going in, as well as alternate audio tracks for different languages or speaker configurations. XTAG™ video tags are being added that contain information such as title, author and video specifications. And to top it all off, DivX is getting its own shiny new file extension. (.divx, in case you hadn't guessed).
