Section 4 - Operation DivX® DivX® is a video technology that compresses video. When streaming video to devices like the DSM-510 it is important to use smaller bandwidth files in order to eliminate interrupted video transmission. Using DivX® to compress your videos allows you to save them and send them much more efficiently. The DSM-510 is a DivX® Home Theater Certified device. Being certified by DivX® guarantees that the DSM-510 can playback DivX® video files. Playing a DivX® file Playing a DivX® file on the D-Link DSM-510 is just like playing any other video file. Once you have placed the video file in your shared directory you will be able to view it by following the instructions listed on Pg. 72. To create DivX® video files using the DivX® converter you can simply drag your pre-existing video files onto the DivX® converter software, select the video type by click the left or right arrow on the application and then click the convert button.
