DivX finds a way into new LG, JVC & Vestel players

Another tradeshow, another chance for DivX to add juice to its symphony of new consumer hardware. Listen closely so your attention's undivided as the first DivX HD-compatible DVD player from a major manufacturer, the LG DVS450H, stands ready to play back full length HD flicks from disc or USB flash drive. Turkish manufacturer Vestel is back to straighten the facts, introducing the first DivX-capable STB for Europe in the t5000. It's still undergoing DivX certification, but promises a firmware update should be the only thing needed to ensure complete compatibility. JVC steps up to make the people unite with its first Blu-ray player, the NX-BD3, carrying DLNA and DivX certs to acquire content via wired or wireless networks, and play back DivX files from DVD or CD after it goes on sale in September.

I'm still waiting for DviX on iPod Touch/iPhone.

Is there any news on that front?

That's pretty much what stops me from even considering buying one of them. I do not want video capable device, If can't see my videos on it (w/o conversion).

you'll be waiting for a really really ............... really long time ..........

I don't see apple ever doing that .....
it would be nice if they did though

Coreplayer is a 3rd party app that is supposedly coming to iPod Touch/iPhone. It is available on other platforms (Palm, WinMobile) and supports all these other video formats.

And I'm still waiting for the DivX software to work on 64bit OS's, well not really because there are better alternatives like Xvid or more modern things like x264, I'm just amazed that they still haven't got DivX working on 64bit windows as a professional company that asks money while freeware amateurs can get their stuff to work in 64bit.

What we need is a cheap DVD player that can play 720p H264 files. Then I would put off buying a PS3 for yet another year.

Divx is a defunct, hated rip-off scheme that was floated by Circuit City and a bunch of Hollywood lawyers. A pay-per-view scheme for DVDs. REMEMBER?

Why in hell would you name a totally unrelated product after it?

Stupid.
