3ivx Technologies Pty. Ltd. has released their MPEG-4 Video codec called 3ivx D4 4.5 for BeOS. 3ivx allows you to compress video to be a fraction of its original size while maintaining high image quality. You can store over 2 hours of near DVD quality video on a single CD-ROM or stream near DVD quality video over a cable modem or DSL modem.

The 3ivx decoder plays back most MPEG-4 files with MPEG-4 Video (such as DivX 3, 4 and 5, Apple MPEG-4, Philips MPEG-4 and XviD) using any compatible player.

The 3ivx encoder produces industry-leading compact high quality MPEG-4 Video and is distributed as a plug-in for the BeOS Media Architecture. This allows you to encode MPEG-4 Video in MOV files. 3ivx Technologies Pty. Ltd. recommends that you use VideoPro for encoding.
