Tom's Hardware Reviews First Player for DivX Video

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that-other-divx dept.

Idimmu Xul writes "Tom's Hardware has a review of the DP-450: the first player for DivX video in Hi-Fi format! Until now, movies in space-saving DivX (MPEG-4) format could only be viewed on a PC. The KiSS DVD player is the first standalone device for TVs and projectors." Very cool, although it will render my stacks of VCDs obsolete.

    Divx was created as a means of dvd rentals on the first generation of DVD players. I think circuit city came up with the format. Get the disc, watch it for a week, then it wouldnt work anymore, so you threw it away. My friend has a DVD player like 4 years ago that played Divx discs.

    rhetoric, some say.

    Poet: Mine own flatulence is stardust for inspiration; poetic wisdom recycled, aspiring to greater heights: Ive seen the best old farts of my generation/ laid to waste Howling/ in anguish for the presence/of a nose to rise, seek,/New clouds, the aroma of sanctity./To lead the body convulsed into the heaven of sulphuric fumes.

    Casalx: Supposing you were asking for my advice i see a retracement move to 910 in five days max and then the ball goes down to 780 in the following 7 trading days. And i consider this the optimistic scenario. the whys are not mine alone. The bears den is full of noise as of winters melting and the hunt for salmon, bull, bouncing kitties and sheep to begin.

    So, if im right, the crystal ball owner should be proud; But it aint me: im just a happy parrot repeating here and there, at random, that which seems to make sense to my green plummage and diminished (by enteogenics) brain.

    Rumsfeld is cool. i like the bravado with which he forges foreign policy. Im sure he belongs here in the Hindenburg. He would be a great replacement for the dane; His declaration regarding France and Germany (old europe, out of touch with the rest of Europe, that backs the US, more or less what he said) have a resoluteness i thought was to be found only in these fora.

    Hondo: The regulation rifle during the mexican revolution was the 30-30 bolt action, of which i have one, slightly rusty. cant get any ammo for it though and i would never show it to neighbours. they are in love with the AK-47 of which they say is the best thing to have come to the world since the invention of the wheel.

    The march of the chavista-bolivaristas in Caracas was well attended. See the photos: http://www.aporrea.org/dameverbo.php?docid=4435
