[MPlayer-users] Playing proprietary DivX?

[Rev Simon Rumble]

On Wed 12 Jun, Bradley M Alexander made the following spurious claims:

> Got a question about playing the old proprietary-format DivX

That Divx is not at all related to the modern DiVX.  It was a "pay per
view" distribution system where they would give you the disc and you
would have to pay for a decryption in order to view the content.  They
went broke a coupla years ago.

No idea if anyone managed to break the crypto but if you're in the
USA, that would be illegal, right?
