The Moonlight Elecard MPEG-2 video decoder is the MPEG-2 decoder of choice for the newly released DivXNetworks product: Dr. DivX.

San Diego, California and Tel Aviv, Israel– June 16, 2003 –DivXNetworks, the company that created the revolutionary, patent-pending DivX® video compression technology, has chosen to provide the Moonlight-Elecard MPEG-2 Video Decoder in its newly released Dr. DivX™ product.

Dr. DivX is an encoding application that allows users to effortlessly convert a wide variety of video inputs into DivX® encoded files. Inside the Dr. DivX application, the Moonlight Elecard MPEG-2 Video Decoder decompresses the original MPEG-2 and DVD files, preparing them for encoding to DivX for use in burning backup full length movies/videos to CDs, converting home movies, capturing TV shows (live capture) and emailing videos to friends. Moonlight, a leading provider of MPEG-2 and H.264 video CODEC technology, supplies its MPEG-2 and H.264 standard CODEC technology to various markets under OEM licensing.

The Moonlight Elecard MPEG-2 Video Decoder is a real time software-only MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 decoding solution. It provides high resolution (up to full HDTV 1920x1080i), full quality decoding and is optimized for the most efficient CPU usage. It is implemented as a Microsoft® DirectShow® filter and can easily be incorporated into editing and playback applications.

“Dr. DivX was designed as an easy to use software tool that lets anyone create DivX videos from a variety of sources, and the Moonlight Elecard MPEG-2 Video Decoder is a compelling offering for this product,” said Darrius Thompson, Director of Research and Development at DivXNetworks. “It features unique algorithms that support a variety of video formats and a deinterlacing module that enables the production of high resolution, progressive scan pictures out of interlaced source materials. This means that it enables superior transcoding of DVD materials for PCs and Progressive Scan monitors.”

The high quality and ease-of-use of Dr. DivX transcoding promises high volume sales for both electronic software distribution and OEM sales.
