It has been announced that DivX® video technology will be integrated into the PS3.

Kevin Hell, CEO of DivX commented, “We are excited to work with Sony Computer Entertainment to bring DivX to PS3. Our technology will expand the multimedia functionality of PS3 by enabling users to enjoy access to the broad library of content in the DivX digital media format.”

Current PS3 end users will be able to add DivX functionality to their systems via a separate system software update at a forthcoming date. PS3 game title developers will be able to utilise DivX’s decoder technology by updating the system software of PS3’s Software Development Kit to version 2.00.

Q+A to follow later.

Died out? People use Divx to encode movies into avi files. Almost all the tv shows and movies you see online that are avi files are encoded with Divx.

Just as a wild guess, I'm betting he's thinking about DIVX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX) and not DivX.

I thought DivX was the DVD rental that was active for 3 days and then no longer availble on the disc after the 3 days expired.
