DivX MPEG-4 at a glance
DivX MPEG-4
DivX originated from a hacked version of Microsoft's MPEG-4v3 codec (the original 'DivX ;-)') before being rewritten as a legitimate MPEG-4 ASP codec. An open-source fork spawned the Xvid project.
3FR at a glance
3FR
Hasselblad raw workflows are closely tied to medium-format capture and to the brand's studio and commercial-photography lineage, which gives 3FR a different practical role from mass-market DSLR raw families.
