	DivX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The latest generation, DivX 6, was released on June 15, 2005 and expands the scope of DivX from being just a codec to including a full media container format.
		However, despite the use of the ".divx" extension, this format is simply the AVI file format by another name.
		An open source version of the codec—called OpenDivX®—was released by DivX in early 2001, and this version served as the basis for the open source XviD codec, the source code of which is maintained by an independent group.

	What is DIVX?
		DIVX makes this practical because it eliminates the consideration of whether or not one has time to watch the film.
		While a DIVX disc is intially only viewable for forty-eight hours one can use DIVX's sophisticated electronic registration system to give the disc unlimited viewing periods.
		For the initial $4.50 purchase price, the DIVX movie comes with a pre-registered 48 hour viewing period and what is know as "rental" status (a misnomer since the disc was purchased).

	Behind death of Divx were angry customers \| CNET News.com
		Divx wasn't just another example of a technology that failed to catch on--it was a widely hated platform hounded to its death by disgruntled consumers fearful of getting stuck in a Betamax quandary.
		The rivalry between Divx and open DVD was often compared to the Beta-VHS war or the lackluster success of Laserdisc--but, in reality, the early death of Divx was more a result of consumers' battle scars from earlier standards battle.
		Divx's release was also fraught with controversy because it came less than a year after the acrimonious DVD-ROM standards battle, and at a time when the Internet was gaining popularity as a grass-roots communications medium.

	CNN - Divx dies - June 16, 1999
		Divx was billed as an alternative to video rentals by letting customers rent its format of digital video discs without having to return them to stores.
		The rebate will ensure that no Divx customers have paid more for the Divx-featured player than they would have paid for the least expensive, comparable DVD player available at the time of their purchase, Sharp said.
		All Divx discs can be viewed on registered players anytime between now and June 30, 2001, Sharp said.

	The DVD Journal \| What Was Divx?
		Divx is a proprietary technology, and as such the company is a de facto monopoly.
		If Divx is even moderately successful, studios may reserve their most popular titles for Divx, pay-per-view cable/satellite, or a future pay-per-view scheme, and only release less-popular titles in an open format.
		Consumers who buy Divx players and discs encourage the studios to follow this distribution model, even though the model is demonstrably not in the consumer's interest -- particularly for parents who allow their children to watch Disney films ad infinitum, or for those of you who watch Scream 83 times a year.

	FAQ & Features
		He explained that he was rather new to Divx, and was more than a bit daunted at all the hostility he's been experiencing as a result of his new position.
		Whether it was simply caused by poor mastering, or is a result of the constant process of decrypting the coded data on the disc, was uncertain and remains to be determined.
		And apparently, Divx made a number of attempts to create after-market upgrades for existing DVD players, but the costs were such that it would have been as expensive to upgrade as to just buy a new player.

		Despite DivX Networks' popularity with hackers and support from open-source software developers, the company still has a long way to go before it realizes its grand ambition -- becoming the standard for digital video compression online.
