Warning: Circuit City and a LA law firm has proposed a competing DVD format called Divx with pay-per-viewing-period. Divx needs special players that have to be connected to the Divx central via modem and they will survey everything you put into the player. Their plan it to monopolize the video rental industry. The format war could lead to a serious delay for DVD and a lot of consumer confusion. Even if Divx is a flop when launched next summer serious harm will be done to the DVD format if the studios don't soon agree on supporting just one DVD format. Both the Divx players and the rental fees will be more expensive than that of ordinary DVD.

Tell the studios that are planning to support Divx what you think about the system. Send a message with careful and polite wording to KILLDIVX@aol.com. Including your name and address would make it more credible. ÿ
