Using Subversion as source code control and still looking for a good and affordable administration tool for your repositories?

 Pico Logic has just released Sublime 1.0. I've been beta-testing it for the last months and can highly recommend it. It comes with one free user license. So, in other words: It is free for personal usage.

 For commercial use it is sold on a per-user-license base. Single user license is currently 45.50 USD (Special Introductory Offer - 30% off).

I updated the All-In-One pack to work with DivX Connected  Server Build 1.4.

- Included support for several new audio codecs
- Updated ffdshow and Haali splitter to latest versions
- Fixed the ffdshow video registry file. The last version resized the videos by default.

This time the pack comes in two flavours.

 Hi kamiwa,

it is a pleasure sittging here with you in Berlin and geeking out on many weird things including chrome. Now it's here on kamiwa's blog as well, at least you did not have to post it.

The second package to be released from Project Rémoulade is an alpha version of the DivX H.264 Encoder. Complementing the DivX H.264 Decoder, this multithreaded encoder produces high definition H.264 video bitstreams that are compatible with the draft profile for DivX 7 H.264 HD video. The encoder is a command line utility and accepts input from raw AVI files as well as the AVISynth frameserver.

For more info on the DivX H.264 Encoder and an awesome tutorial from DigitAL56K (The Man!) look here!

Frostie, a member of the DivX Community, made an awesome tool for all web designers who want to integrate DivX video in their website.

Quote from his post: "I made my own gallery (with help from a friend) to help me from having to code all the newly added videos to the site. This will auto read all folders that contain .divx and .avi files in a root folder that you pick (default is \media). It'll auto build a dhtml menu from the folder structure. Click a file and it'll play in the player."

I know those are old (taken from the "Offical DivX 5.2.1 Guide"). But DivX decided not to publish any more recent ones.

So these specs are still valid.

It's offical now: DivX 7 will finally move from AVI container to Matroska. Alastair Mayo (DigitAL56K) who is in charge of Project Rémoulade at DivX, publicly announced it on the doom9 forums.

DivX 7 will use the MKV container format! That's right, you heard it here first: our new format does not use AVI! Those of you now planning a street party do remember to send me an invitation
