About formats

DivX is a family of video codecs and a media container format developed by DivX, LLC. The project traces its roots to a hacked version of the Microsoft MPEG-4 v3 codec that circulated in the late 1990s, but the legitimate DivX codec launched in January 2001 as an open-source project called OpenDivX before transitioning to a proprietary commercial product. The codec is based on MPEG-4 Part 2 (ASP) compression and later versions incorporated H.264/AVC and HEVC support. DivX gained enormous popularity in the early 2000s for its ability to compress a full-length movie into a file small enough to fit on a single CD-ROM while maintaining watchable visual quality. This compression efficiency made DivX a defining format of the early internet era, when bandwidth and storage were scarce resources. The DivX Media Format (.divx) container adds features like interactive menus, chapters, subtitles, and alternate audio tracks, bringing DVD-like functionality to digital files. DivX certification became a common label on consumer electronics, with thousands of DVD players and other devices supporting DivX playback natively. The codec also pioneered quality-based variable bit rate encoding that allocates more data to complex scenes and less to static ones, resulting in consistent visual quality throughout a video.

PRC is an audio file format associated with Psion handheld organizers, particularly the Series 3 and Series 5 lines from the 1990s. These pocket computers included built-in microphones and basic voice recording capabilities, storing captured audio in the PRC container. The encoding is typically ADPCM-based (Adaptive Differential Pulse-Code Modulation), balancing file size against audio intelligibility given the severe storage constraints of early PDAs — the original Psion Series 3 had just 256 KB of RAM doubling as storage. PRC audio is generally mono at low sample rates (often 8 kHz), optimized for speech rather than music. One advantage was tight integration with the EPOC operating system (later evolving into Symbian), letting users embed voice notes directly in agenda entries and database records. The compact file sizes — a minute of speech consumed only a few kilobytes — made it feasible to store dozens of memos on devices with minimal memory. While PRC audio is a legacy format today, conversion tools exist for extracting recordings from archived Psion devices, which remain collectible among retro computing enthusiasts.
