DivX 7 Adds Support For Blu-ray Rips (H.264/MKV)
mrspin writes "DivX looks set to continue to be the video format of choice for 'grey' content, with the company announcing that version 7 adds support for H.264 video and, more significantly, the Matroska (MKV) container. Anybody familiar with Blu-ray rips found on BitTorrent sites or other filesharing networks will instantly recognize the MKV file format in combination with the H.264 codec as a popular way to deliver High Definition video on a PC. And now that DivX is throwing its weight behind the Matroska container, MKV support should increasingly find its way on a range of non-PC devices, such as Blu-ray players, HD digital televisions and set-top boxes."
H.264 gives unequalled compression on CP and terrorist training videos.
I'm not sure about the technical reasons behind this.
DivX certified players still exist? Where do you live? Some backwater country like America?*

Careful, statements like that will get you ragged on in here about how you're a horrible parent (by people who have never even touched a member of the opposite sex, let alone had kids of their own), and you should be taking your child outside to play - while you're in the car on long trips. ;-)
Followed by rabid environmentalists demanding that you don't use your car for long trips or that you don't even travel that far.
They will then battle with the radical feminists claiming you subjugated a free womyn by forcing her to have kids.
Well, let's get some popcorn while we wait :)

If you haven't been pulled over because your kid had their head out a window/sunroof, you're doing it wrong.
/sorry dad, but you only got a warning

o0t!
But long car trips without TV? I don't know how our ancient ancestors did it!
It's called the "backhand" slap" which usually followed the exclamation "I'll turn this car around!"
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Slacker. I accelerate to 100, roll the minivan down the off-ramp, powerslide across four lanes of traffic, and then hop back on the interstate. No need for this "backhand" or "I'll turn this car around!" you speak off. Although everyone will need a change of pants at your destination.
I know; think of the quality loss! Your kid's eyesight is going to develop poorly after being exposed to those compression artifacts.
Sometimes it's hard to have a conversation on Slashdot with the radical feminists leaping in all the time. :)

Dad, is that you?
Pfft. Fuck streaming, it is always crappy.
Generalizations always suck.
