Pray, tell -- just why is DIVX dead?  Actually, what exactly is DIVX?

DIVX is this thing where you go out to Circuit City or whoever else sells them
and you buy a DVD movie for $4.95. You can play the movie for only 48 hours,
and then it scrambles up and it's unusable, unless you decide to pay an extra
$14.95. It's sort of like trying a movie out. My DVD player has DIVX, and the
only time I ever used it is whe I bought it, where they gave me five free DIVX
DVDs. I personally never understood it. It's a waste of time and money going
to the electronics store to buy a disegrating DVD when I can rent a DVD from
the near by Blockbuster.
Cheers,

(...) Which would explain why the Circuit City here is trying so hard to get rid of them. Pray, tell -- just why is DIVX dead? Actually, what exactly is DIVX? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
