[QUOTE="adam71, post: 1711675, member: 549079"] Wow, you really are working hard at this aren't you little man. [I]Arlene Baisa, 52, of Grass Valley (Nevada County), was looking for a new CD player and wound up with a Divx machine. She loves the sound, the picture clarity and the freedom from video store hassles.[/I] This is a quote from your link. I will say that you are half right but I will also say that I am half right as well. Divx was more of an attack on the DVD rental market then it was on the DVD retail market. This was a way of killing the DVD rental competition which entailed renting regular DVDs like we do still today. They used to boast how Divx discs wouldn't have smudges and scratches on them like a DVD from the rental store would have on them when you rented them. So when you think about it the DVD format was safe the whole time and therefore never threatened. People (like myself) that wanted to own and collect DVDs already could do so and Divx never had a chance of stopping that so in a sense was never a competing format. Unless you want to split hairs that is. [I]Video stores like DVD, because they can still rent movies on disc just as they do on videocassette. But store owners say Digital Video Express hurts them with its no-return appeal.[/I] You see this is what rental stores had to say about Divx. They were going to be crushed if Divx were to catch on. I think I speak for eveyone that I'm sure as hell glad that it didn't. [/QUOTE]
