June 29, 2004 – PRODIFF which developed the RM-X Player multimedia software, today announced a licensing contract with DivXNetworks to include DivX® video technology in RM-X® Player.
The version “3” of the PRODIFF multimedia reader, which is scheduled for the end of summer, will include DivX® compression technology, to enable playback and compression of DivX® video files.
RM-X® Player, the first version of which came online in September of 2001, successfully established it’s place in the tough world of multimedia players.
Thanks to the licensing agreement, RM-X® users will no longer need to search for DivX codecs, as they will install automatically. With this license agreement, PRODIFF could become unavoidable in terms of French Audio/Video software, potentially becoming integrated by default in computers.
The presence of the official DivX® codec will permit the RM-X® Player V3 software user to read all their videos originally compressed by this codec. It will also permit exceptionally simple video compression.
RM-X® Player is far more than a simple reader because it has multiple possibilities, such as Audio/Video capture, Audio/Video compression etc, hence the Universal Reader expression.
Under the agreement, DivXNetworks will promote RM-X® Player V3 on their official DivX.com website, wich receives more than 10 million visitors every month.
