>> DIVX is a specialised form of DVD promoted by Zenith.

> DIVX is not a specialized form of DVD. Look at the DVD spec and you won't find anything like DiVX discussed. DiVX is CC's attempt to take an open standard, and pollute it with proprietary extensions. The rough equivalent of saying DiVX is a specialized form of DVD is like saying NT is a specialized form of Java just because it runs Java programs.

Thanks for the correction. I obviously did not make myself clear. I suppose I think of DVD as a general audio/video base format, which includes 24/96, Dolby Digital, and DTS. DIVX is another, separate form of digital audio/video. In case it wasn't obvious, I think DIVX is a pretty dreadful idea as well.

The short angle on Circuit City sounds interesting.
