Notes on MP3/DivX
What is MP3/DivX?
MP3*: MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer-3) is the compression format
of digital audio. It is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture
Experts Group). Using this compression format, you can
record the contents of about 10 music CDs on a single CD
(This figure refers to data recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-
RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling frequency of
44.1 kHz).
*MPEG Layer-3 audio coding technology licensed form
Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.
DivX: The video compression format developed by DivX, Inc.
compresses video files without any considerable loss of video
quality.
