<<Video buffs are not expected to like Divx discs because they offer no special effects and only pan-and-scan views. >> I wonder if this is true of only the early Divx discs, or if this is a result of not enough space on the disc for special effects because of the space taken up for Divx security "enhancement" and the other foibles designed to prevent copying of discs?

Oak's head of optical storage unit resigns SUNNYVALE, Calif.--Oak Technology Inc. today said that Aydin Koc, president of its Optical Storage Business Unit, had resigned. Richard Black, president of Oak Technology, will assume responsibility for the division. No further explanation was given. Oak, a provider of high-performance multimedia semiconductors, had recently divested itself of several businesses to concentrate on core markets--including optical storage--where it felt it had the best potential (see Jan. 22 story). The optical storage business continued to account for the largest portion of Oak's sales in the recent quarter, representing 80% of the company's revenues. pubs.cmpnet.com
