What happens when everything starts being encoded in DivX 6.XX?

Good question

doesn't say that.

Although for such an expensive player, I hope they make it firmware upgradable. Otherwise it'll become useless in a short time.

true that


I didn't read the whole article. How expensive will it be. I'd think the people who'd find the most value out of this would be the cheapos anyway

Eh, I'll stick with my laptop. S-video out, audio-out, software upgradable...

i just wonder how good the decode quality is divx 5 with full smoothing and all the settings maxed is pretty intensive.

that's kinda gay, getting a cheap celeron processor with an ATI video card computer wouldn't be a better choice?

That's exactly what I use. Celeron 1300 with a Radeon w/S-video out. Great picture quality. However, Divx 5 high bitrate files (1600kbs+) such as the kind you'd fit on 2 CDs can be surprisingly demanding if you turn on all the goodies.

i'm sure there will be clones eventually, which will drop prices.

DivX 4 & 5 will read DivX 3 encoded movies.... Why is this no good?
