Ask Circuit city about DIVX 
"DivX is essentally a warez format for DVDs. It uses MPEG-4 to compress a DVD movie down to approximately CD size. There are many such movies available through gnutella, among other places." -Charles M. Hannum

Welcome back from 2001!
DivX has been named as one of the top 100 private technology firms in the world 2 years running.
This isn't an empty award. These determinations are made by companies like KPMG and Red Herring.
How is DivX cashing in on the DVD format? That doesn't make sense?
DivX Pro Encoder is Ad-supported, and we hate it. We really hate it, and trust me when I say, look for us to put our money where our mouth is in the next 30 days.
The player isn't ad-supported and has never been unavailable.
Seriously people.... drop me a line when you hear junk like this.
