DivX 6.0 is Out

    This is NOT offtopic. DIVX was also the name of a failed DVD format that Circuit City pushed in the '90s. It is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the unfortunate naming of this codec.

    the same fucking "tongue in check commentary" that has been posted a million times since then. You arent funny so stop trying.

    But failing at humor is different than being offtopic. Don't care if it's modded down, just so long as it's modded down correctly.

    And, as a matter of fact, I am funny. I make a living at it. But no one is on their game 100% of the time, and sometimes they just run into agressive humorless fucks.

    I've been using Nero's encoder over DIVX recently for a variety of reasons. 1) It looks better and the files are smaller for comparable settings. 2) The mp4 files I burn with it run *perfectly* on my Mac and on my PC without needing extra software. 3) DIVX itself intentionally *BORKS* standard conforming Mp4. In fact people sometime synonmously use mp4 with DIVX - which bothers me immensely.
