Well, most of the DiVx I've seen have a blurry look when fast motion comes on the video, and sometimes dithered look. All of the MPG stuff I've seen is excellant.. almost perfectly clear. I have an AMD Athlon 750MHz, 224MB of RAM, 7200RPM hard drives, and a 32MB video card, so I've got all fast componants in my system. > The new DVD+RW drives will be able to record video directly, analog to > digital, onto the drives, in realtime.

Someone I know tried a beta version of Windows Whistler (it's not called Windows XP) and it had an option in Windows Explorer that said "Send To CD" which looks like you will be able to burn directly from Windows to CD without the use of an addon program such as CDRWIN or Nero, etc. > >On the other hand, DiVx isn't even a standard. > > Popularity has a way of deciding standards regardless of what standards > bodies dictate. Sure, but DiVx never caught on and I don't see to many DVD players supporting it. DiVX came out, I remember seeing it on TV and you purchased the movies for like $5 or so.. sounded great, new movies for $5, but then it said that was for one viewing or so and if you wanted unlimited you had to buy it for like $15 or $20 more and you get a code to unlock it. - Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/
