I had a question about playback for XVID codecs. Is it possible to buy a DVD player that plays only XVID but does not play DIVX? I am wondering if the decoding/playback functionality in DVD players is the same for XVID content so that you need to have DIVX decoding feature to play XVID. The reason I ask is from my understanding, DVIX is charging a lot of money to install DVIX playback on DVD players where I understand XVID is not charging anyone. But, I have never seen a DVD player that only has XVID playback without also having DIVX playback. I am wondering, then, if XVID is also based on DIVX so DIVX makes money regardless of the format (XVID or DIVX) of the file.
Another question I had was about the number of files being shared. It seems that there are many more files being swamped in XVID today instead of DIVX. Is that true?
Thanks!
