of digital audio. It is developed by MPEG (Motion Picture
Experts Group). Using this compression format, you can

(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 from
Fraunhofer IIS and Thomson.
DivX:
The video compression format developed by DivX, Inc.
compresses video files without any considerable loss of video
quality.
