With DivX beginning to appear in DVD players later this year, the next stage of video compression development is already under way. DivXNetworks is working on H.264, a standard that compresses video by as much as 75 percent. The company believes that using such compression, a DVD stream can be pushed over the Internet at a magic 384 Kbps. This also bodes well for the future of high-definition compression and, eventually, high-definition video streams. The DVD manufacturers are in for a surprise with the popularity of DivX.
By this time next year, DivX will be in the public lexicon.

Noted here player originally on sale at Radioshack for $99 now at Best Buy Canada-$79.95 Philips DVP642. CDR/RW-DVD-DivX player.
