May 08, 2003 - Factor 5, most famed for their Nintendo Rogue Squadron series announced today an agreement with DivX creator DivXNetworks, Inc., to bring the DivX compression technology to Xbox Software Development Kits. Using DivX should allow for better cinematics in future Xbox games. Improvements to the Xbox SDK include:

- DVD-quality video with file sizes 7-10 times smaller than the standard MPEG-2
- Use of PixelShader Technology to offload CPU performance to the graphics chip
- Resolution support of up to 1920x1080 progressive scan (which is not even available with any current TV on the market)
- Full-screen and surface-mapped rendering support for video on 3D scenery

Sounds good as long as it's not compressed too much.

btw there is an error in their press release. there is at least one TV that support 1080p, the Toshiba LCOS...and probably some ultra high end plasma displays
 
Another victory for Kazaa/DC/Emule users.




Finally, god has answer your prayers, you will be able to watch your movies on TV.🙂
 
Yes, people can watch divx etc on their modded xboxes.( IMO, the best use of xbox now as a media player)
I think this will allow the in game cinematics to be divx.
 
this isn't going to do anything unless someone uses it to make a legit program for xbox (must be digitally signed and all that crap). and i don't think microsoft would allow it.
 
this isn't something that they are releasing that allows you to pop in any divx disc and watch it... all this article says is that by using divx compression, they can have a lot more room on the disc for gameplay stuff, because the cinematics wont be taking up as much room. I think gamecube and PS2 have been using divx for a while now
