Fun fact - "DivX ;-)" was a cracked version of the Microsoft MPEG4 decoder which was originally restricted to only play in ASF containers and has nothing to do with DivX the company which came later.

- dsnuh 8y agoAre you confusing the DivX codec with the DIVX DVD format? I don't know how accurate to it is to say that the cracked MPEG4 decoder had nothing to do with DivX the company. Gej (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Rota https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me_Rota) was the guy that created the DivX ;) crack, and definitely worked at DivX, Inc. from the very beginning.
