IIRC, DivX was a $500 purchase if you wanted to encode video using DivX. Of course that was around 2000-2002 or so, and it totally could have been less money, but I remember wanting to use it, but not wanting to pay so much to do so legally. $19.99 is a much better price. Ron Watson On the

The $20 is the price for the software div pro, wheras I think the $500 dollars refers to the license to distribute div-encoded content that divx sells to commercial users. I seem to remember vaguely ranting about this stuff, and questioning whether it would affect vloggers, ages ago. I thought I

Cheers, thats another exciting service for sure! Has some stuff in common with recent ponderings about non-video media (eg photos text blog) being blended with video into something that you watch. Their implementation so far seems like a clever idea but Im already put off by lots of silly little

Nice dream :) It could be achieved to a certain extent using the sorts of remoting stuff you are referring to, think something like VNC has a 'view-only' mode? But in practice it wouldnt be ideal for most people to do it that way? What I hope is that online tools make this sort of stuff not only
