Well i think that this might be true.. DVD players already support Mp3 and VCD / sVCD.. so why wouldnt they support DIVX. I'll be the first to buy one if they do.
It would be AWESOME if they also support subtitles to play with it!Comment

An mpeg 4 or divx player would indeed by "awesome." However, unfortunately, not technical, but legal issues are stopping the deployment of mpeg 4. Until these are conclusively sorted out, its unlikely a mpeg 4 player will be manufactured.
Alternatively, companies have invested a lot in the dvd (mpeg 2) format, they'll want to make lots of money off of it, before moving on

The Reason for illegal Dvd Copying
If the companies that made DVD's weren't so god damn greedy, hence $30 a DVD charge, you wouldn't have people making things like DECSS and so on. A DVD costs about 50 cents to make and they want to make over 300% back for it. Well, to me that's just pure greed. A DVD should cost no more than the maximum $10 maybe $15. Once they work out the human greed element (Which will be never) maybe people will stop making so called illegal copies of DVD's.Comment

I remember in the Simpsons episode, "TRASH OF THE TITANS" an executive of a company, claims "we've made enough money"....he's then fired and brutally kicked out. The big companies, its all about money, and makin' lots of it no matter howComment
