DiVX seem to be doing a great job of co-opting standards and palming them off as their own invention. First MPEG-2 ASP for SD and more recently H264 for HD. It sucks that they managed to gain such leverage from open standards. I suppose in their favour some good may come from it since ASP & H264 has so many profiles, levels within profiles, resolutions that its very hard to produce an mp4 file that plays everywhere. Maybe getting certification will bring devices into line.

It doesn't help that they purchased MainConcept.
