Almost seems like climbing a tree that never ends.....................or digging a hole that is infinitely deep........................."compressed video"???????................HD.....................TrueHD...................via compression. Divx compression?????
HD at best must be the ACTUAL detail that the camera lense is seeing.........not what the camera lense is seeing, and then shrinking it. No No No No No.

What do you think Blu-ray discs contain? The exact same codec (h264) that DivX 7 consists of is one of the three video codecs that forms the Blu-ray disc specification.
BTW, welcome back lynchGOP.

Sure, HD at it's absolute best is going to be the raw, uncompressed data output from the source.
However, I would think it is safe to say that TDK (and many, if not all other movies) are probably a terabyte, if not more, in raw uncompressed, form.
Therefore, we aren't going to see movies in raw, uncompressed greatness until 2013 (or later) if it's on Blu-Ray and by then something could come along and eliminate optical disks entirely.
However, Ryu77 is correct in that Blu-Ray discs contain a similar (if not the same) codec as the mentioned in the new DivX 7.
Peace

Sure it may prove to be not as good or maybe even better than those already available. That remains to be seen. What about those people that record home movies with a HD Handycam or professionals that offer their work on AVCHD or Blu-ray? Wouldn't a decent h264 encoder be required then?
I just wish more people here at AfterDawn would make positive comments, rather than nitpicking at every possible opportunity.

First of all it is completely pointless and unnecessary and secondly that would effectively be the movie studios handing out the master copies of their movies.
Why would they?
That's never going to happen.

h264 never plays right on my laptop... it's about 4 years old, constantly skips around lol.

What ever the update is it will be an essential part to have divx player and its codec to your video codec bundle.
Will be waiting for this update.
