      Divx was a video codec and much better than the others at that time. It was super confusing when Circuit City announced their DIVX program.

        Yeah DivX was awesome. Really led the way in allowing videos to be shared online. I wouldn’t have seen half the anime I did if it wasn’t for it.

      Guys, check out my new video streaming site that has a bunch more restrictions than you’d expect. It’s called yOuTuBE. What do you mean “that’s confusing”?

      All this talk of DivX, but no mention of (the open source alternative) XviD? Maybe people confuse them. I think I had way more XviD videos at the time.

        I just now realized that XviD was DivX backwards.

        Back in the day, I never knew the difference between the two, I just saw DivX getting gradually replaced by XviD.
