Tom Huntington Talks DivX

If you’ve downloaded more than a few video files, chances are you’ve played a DivX or DivX compatible (XviD) movie on your computer. DivX is arguably among the most popular video formats for creating and distributing videos online. The latest version of DivX supports a variety of DVD-like features, including menuing and special features, as well as supporting playback of HD content from plain-old DVD drives. With millions of consumer electronics devices supporting DivX, including most set-top DVD players, it seems natural to expect this format to continue to proliferate for many years to come. Tom Huntington of DivX talks with Chris about the current state of DivX, using DivX compatible devices, and some of the hurdles faced by consumers in getting DivX support on their favorite devices (Sony PSP, Xbox 360 and iPod being the three glaring devices with no DivX support). If you’re a fan of downloadable video content, this is a must-listen interview.
