    A clever troll, I'll admit. So good, that more than a few of the less knowledgable slashdotters might fall for it.

    But to me, your post was the height of retarded trolling inanities. It decodes mpeg1,2 and 4, the latter of which happens to be known as divx in some circles.

    Circuit City Divx discs are encrypted, and no one has ever bothered breaking it as far as I know. Then, and only then could you hope to decode it... and I'm not so sure that it is a mpeg derivative.

    Now go crawl back under that rock you live beneath.
