Information About

3ivx




3ivx (pronounced "Thriv-ex") is a codec suite that allows the creation of MPEG-4 compliant data streams. It has been designed around a need for decreased processing power for use mainly in embedded systems. 3ivx provides plugins and filters that allow the MPEG-4 data stream to be wrapped by the Microsoft ASF and AVI transports, as well as Apple's QuickTime transport. It also allows the creation of elementary MP4 data streams and provides an audio codec for creation of AAC audio streams.

Official decoders and encoders are provided for Microsoft Windows , Mac OS and BeOS , with unmaintained older releases for the Amiga and Linux . In addition, FFmpeg can decode 3ivx encoded video.

The company is notable for its support of the Haiku OS, for which their staff have produced a Quicktime MOV extractor and a port of the 3ivx codec. As of 2005 , they are the only company to support Haiku in any way.
