Wahey, cheers Jim. Perhaps there is more hope than I thought that DivX will rethink their strategy after seeing the ipod & friends appear on the scene.
Its perfectly possible I suppose to offer options in DivX to create standard mp4 files for use with ipods etc, as well as maintaining options to output stuff that requires divx decoder and may look better or compress better etc. I sincerely hope thats what happens,after all Nero have got their own silly name for mpeg4 'Nero Digital' and a certification program with matching encoder profiles, but their Nero Recode app can still spit out totally compliant .mp4's for use with Ipod, and PSP compatible ones too.
