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.

TXW is the native audio sample format of the Yamaha TX16W, a rack-mounted digital sampler released by Yamaha in 1988. Each TXW file stores a single audio sample captured by the TX16W's 12-bit analog-to-digital converters, with selectable sampling rates of 16.7 kHz, 33.3 kHz, and 50 kHz in mono. The format was engineered to work within the sampler's architecture — 1.5 MB of onboard RAM expandable via memory cards — so files are compact and structured for quick loading from 3.5-inch floppy disks. Despite its 12-bit resolution, the TX16W earned a loyal following among electronic musicians who prized its distinctive warm, slightly gritty character that imparted a recognizable sonic texture to sampled material. The format preserves loop point data and tuning metadata, enabling seamless playback of sustain loops within the hardware. While TXW files are not directly playable in most modern software, conversion utilities and the SoX audio toolkit can transform them into contemporary formats like WAV or AIFF. For vintage synth enthusiasts and sample library curators, TXW remains an important archival format.
