It did seem weird to me that Sony would buy them :)]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/It definately said Sony. I skipped the title and read the article and messaged my friend to say about the purchase. I saw the headline in my Google Reader notification extension in Chrome.

Then I scrolled down and read your commends and was amazed to scroll up and read the title and saw it said Sonic. It would be sketchy if I happened to selectively see Sony and you did aswell. ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/

As a developer (and a Brit), software patents just piss me off.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/So you are saying that if you purchased a company for lets say $500,000 because they had code that you can use. You develop a piece of software and charge $1000 for that software.... then someone uses the same piece of code (without your permission) for a like software and charges half your price... that's ok? I guess I can see why that would not piss you off.

I hate patent abuse (like patenting the shape of a phone for instance) but software patents are needed.

Just saying]]>Jun 2nd 2010 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/
You owe me $5 license fee as I have filed an intellectual patent on conveyance of an argumentative approach or state shown by usage of any number of sentence fragments - including "just saying" and "just sayin'".

The big problem with patents is that they should never have been granted on things which are obviously discoverable.
All this BS about patenting multi touch or certain gestures and the like is just that - BS

The abuse of patents is extremely problematic as they were meant to promote innovation and competition and instead today often squelch it.
They are therefore detrimental to the public at large and the whole thing needs serious revamping.
I was hoping Obama would get to that and torte reform.
But with so much on his plate it is seeming doubtful to me know.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.divx.com/en/partner/certified/oemodm

Beware of nebulous claims of "divx/xvid/avi support" on devices that are not DivX Certified and do not carry the DivX logo. It probably means they do not fully support DivX features such as subtitles, multiple audio/video tracks, interactive menus or DivX VOD services like http://wbshop.com digital downloads. To ensure compatibility, always use genuine DivX software and DivX certified devices.]]>Jun 4th 2010 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/The only point at which DiVX was illegal iirc the 3.11 alpha version which was basically just a hacked Microsoft codec.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/I think x264 is better than DivX HD or Xvid.]]>Jun 2nd 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Jun 2nd 2010 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/I noticed right after I commented -_-

It will be interesting to see if things will come full circle, as now it will again be a format you pay to watch once for about the cost of a rental - except now there is no physical media. Physical media is going the way of VHS anyway. ]]>Jun 2nd 2010 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/sonic-acquires-divx-to-expand-online-movie-delivery-options-sha/Actually it had been in use as an avi codec for several years before the Circuit City foobar.

I don't get why most media streamer devices out there can natively read mkv container and decode the most popular codecs used within, yet PS3 can't. Having to use mkv2vob and then sneaker-net the files over to the PS3 to watch really sucks. And don't someone jump in and tell me to use some stupid transcoding app over at my PC to real time stream to the PS3, I've tried them ALL and their quality SUCKS.
