explain mpeg4/div-x

[squeakcat]

Hi,
I am having trouble finding a page that explains exactly what Div-X is, and why I should use it (or not). What's the difference between that and mpeg4?

I just have a videotape that I need to be able to stream, and I want the best video compression tool I can find. Any suggestions please? Before I give up, and just get it converted to a quicktime or realplayer movie?

Thx! Jennifer

have a look on www.divx-digest.net, there are many tools and tutos

divx is mpeg4, but mpeg4 is not always divx

mpeg4 can be:
divx, the original M$ v1-3, angelpotion, krystall
