DIVX,
The worst part of the DIVX standard is that the DIVX disc you
just "bought" is locked to the DIVX player you're currently
using. I.e., you buy a new DIVX player and *none* of the discs
you paid for already work for it. Another "feature" the dimbulbs
in the entertainment industry have foisted on us :-(
Of course, their response will probably be: "DIVX discs are half
the price of DVDs, so you can afford to buy new ones"...
