DivX Making Hollywood Inroads

Posted by michael on from the whose-cuisine-will-reign-supreme dept.

worm eater writes "CNet news reports that DivX is doing its best to become a digital video compression standard, and has been very successful in courting DVD manufacturers to adopt the DivX format. But will that be enough to beat out competing compression methods as a new Hollywood standard? It faces tough competition, such as MPEG-4, RealVideo and Windows Media. Who will win the standards race and what will that mean for the companies that push the various compression methods?"

    CNet news reports that DivX is doing its best to become a digital video compression standard, and has been very successful in courting DVD manufacturers to adopt the DivX format.

    The DivX formmated has successfully courted this manufacturer. (Rubs lovingly my spindle of CD-R's)
