As 2024 came to a close, DivX® continued to lead the way in video technology, delivering innovative solutions that empower both consumers and businesses. Last year, we made significant strides in expanding our reach, forging new partnerships, and enhancing our software offerings. Here’s a look back at some of the most exciting moments of the year:
1. DivX 11: Pushing the Boundaries of Video Software
2024 saw the release of DivX 11 in March, signaling the next evolution in our software suite. DivX 11 offers a host of new features that enhance video playback, conversion, and streaming. With the introduction of DivX 11, users can experience a unified application combining all features of DivX Software in a completely updated design. In addition to high-quality video playback in up to 4K resolution, DivX Optimized™ uses codec optimization to determine the ideal audio and video codec for the best experience. DivX 11 is supported in 10 languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

2. Recognizing Leadership and Expertise
Last year, our leadership team received notable recognition in the industry. Noel Egnatios, DivX’s CEO and Chief Legal Officer, was one of the speakers at IPBC Global 2024, a prestigious acknowledgment of her significant contributions to the IP field. Noel also spoke on a panel at the IP Dealmakers Annual Forum, sharing insights from her adventures in licensing.
Additionally, both Noel Egnatios and Steve Skelley (IP Licensing Counsel), were recognized on the IAM Strategy 300 Global Leaders 2025 list. Their insights into the future of video technology and protecting DivX technology continue to shape DivX’s direction as we forge ahead into 2025. Our role in setting industry standards has only grown stronger, with industry leaders recognizing DivX as a key player in shaping the future of video processing and IP licensing.

3. Transforming the Future of Video Technology
Our presence at industry events reinforced DivX’s position as a leader in video technology, making waves alongside giants in the streaming and consumer electronics industries. DivX continued to protect its cutting-edge solutions for delivering high-quality streaming and video playback experiences, empowering both content providers and manufacturers to meet the growing demand for seamless video playback across all devices.
4. DivX Software Improvements
Several new features were released in 2024 including the ability for users to enjoy expanded subtitle support. DivX has long supported a variety of subtitle formats, and users can now easily search for subtitles in over 50 languages. Furthermore, DivX 11 for Mac was launched, expanding our reach to even more users across diverse platforms. These updates reflect our ongoing commitment to providing flexible, high-quality video solutions.

5. Legal and Industry Developments: DivX Continues Successful Enforcement Efforts
2024 was a landmark year for DivX’s global efforts to protect its valuable brand and technology. DivX was awarded Brazil’s first-ever permanent patent injunction in the ICT field against video streaming company Netflix for its unlicensed use of DivX’s deblocking filter technology. This decision bolstered Brazil’s importance as a key battleground for patent litigation. This ruling is a testament to DivX’s ongoing commitment to protecting the value of its licensing program for licensees, as it continues IP licensing efforts in the video device and streaming markets. The victory sets a powerful precedent for defending cutting-edge video technologies in emerging markets.
Looking Ahead
2024 was a year of tremendous achievement for DivX, and we are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in video technology. As we look toward the future, we remain committed to transforming entertainment through innovation, providing the tools and expertise that empower both our partners and consumers to enjoy media their way—anytime, anywhere.
Thank you to our partners, customers, and team members for making 2024 such a remarkable year. We look forward to even greater things in 2025!
