Quality reduction ahead
GIF is lossless, meaning every bit of data is preserved. DIVX uses lossy compression — some data is permanently discarded to reduce file size. At high quality settings the difference is usually imperceptible, but the original data cannot be recovered.
Color depth reduction: 256-bit → 8-bit
GIF stores up to 256 bits per channel, but DIVX supports only 8 bits. You may notice banding in smooth gradients (like sky or skin tones) where subtle color transitions are lost.
What compression artifacts to expect
DIVX lossy compression can produce blockiness (MPEG-4 ASP). At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.
