DivX is a digital media format that puts the
tools of digital expression directly into the hands of the
people. Since 1999, a global following has embraced DivX as a
way to free digital video from the constraints of physical
media. Today, DivX technology lets millions of people share in
a vivid flow of events and ideas, projected through images
that come alive to inspire, amuse, inform, educate and
entertain.
Since its inception, DivX has been among the
world's most popular video technologies, now counting over 200
million global users. By doing for video what MP3 did for
audio, DivX helped created a revolution that is redefining the
media experience by enabling anyone to create, share and play
highly compressed, high-quality video content. DivX technology
now powers an entire ecosystem of interoperable products and
services, from a secure digital video distribution solution to
tens of millions of consumer electronics devices and popular
video software applications. But DivX isn't just a technology.
It's a global community informed by creativity and passion for
all that is possible with digital media, and that community is
growing in strength and number every day. (taken from www.divx.com)
