"The most recent DivX codec, called a "revolutionary product" by Tom's Hardware Guide, currently ranks as the most downloaded multimedia application on CNET's Download.com. For more information on DivX technology, visit www.divx.com. "

Revolutionary? Hmmm, good marketing and they do their work well but "revolutionary"? Hdot264 might be or even Theora when it comes out but "revolutionary"? Tom's Hardware Guide is IMHO exagerating.
But i must say that Xvid rides along with each of Divx Networks partners at least for now, i do not like Divx 5.02 but i do like what they are doing for MPEG4. Thanks to them there is an organized future for the format.
