Where the streams already fit the target container this is a lossless remux, which is close to instant. Otherwise it re-encodes, which in a browser is slow — keep it under a few hundred MB and send long videos to the cloud engine.

    What actually changes

    DIVX and MP4 are not the same picture in two wrappers.

    DivX, an MPEG-4 Part 2 implementation, is decoded and re-encoded as H.264 in an MP4 container, usually halving the file size at the same visual quality.

    Worth knowing first

    DivX-era files were mostly encoded to fit a 700 MB CD, which meant heavy compression at 640 by 480 or lower. The blocking and mosquito noise you see is in the source, and a higher output bitrate preserves it faithfully rather than removing it.

    Questions

    DIVX to MP4, answered

    Is DivX the same as Xvid?

    They are different implementations of the same MPEG-4 Part 2 standard. Xvid was the open source one, and both decode with the same tools.

    Will the file get smaller?

    Usually about half, because H.264 is a full codec generation ahead.

    Choose your settings

    MPEG-4 Video is lossy, so the quality control decides the trade between size and fidelity.
