Why is there no divx player for PSP?

[gimpyjr]

Divx is the best video codec out there. Imagine having high quality video in a small file size. Can someone please bring divx to PSP please.

[Video_freak]

Yes, that would be awesome. I think there are some, but they don't work well.

It will be nice to have divx

divx rocks
whats the diffrence between xvid and divx?

What would be sweet is if someone wrote a special divx.prx file that was loaded up with devhook that allowed you to watch it through the video player in the xmb. (probably not possible but its nice to wish)

I didn't say anything about coding one myself thank you but I think it would be great if somone would do this. It is very easy to transfer DVD to Divx and with it's compression technology I think the image could be quite clean with a decent file size. If an app was made to use the media engine and the CPU clocked at 333MHZ I would imagine that we would get smooth playback.

XVID is the first format, DIVX is just another format...
both is often .avi files...

DivX was around first but wasn't opensource. Xvid decided to make a codec that was similar to DivX in terms of compression and quality and made it fully open source. A bit like MP3 and OGG.

xvid was first and divx was second and are 2 different codecs

*sigh* They are BOTH MPEG4 codecs. DivX was closed source and Xvid was Opensource under GPL.

While DivX has long been renowned for its excellent video quality, its open-source equivalent XviD, also based on MPEG-4 Part 2, now offers comparable quality. In a series of subjective quality tests at Doom9.org, the DivX codec was beaten by XviD in the 2003, 2004, and 2005 tests.

DivX ;-) 3.22 and earlier versions generally refer to a hacked version of the Microsoft MPEG-4 Version 3 video codec, extracted around 1998 by French hacker Jerome Rota (also known as Gej). The Microsoft codec, which originally required that the compressed output be put in an ASF file, was altered to allow other containers such as AVI.

In January 2001, DivXNetworks founded OpenDivX as part of Project Mayo which was intended to be a home for open source multimedia projects.
..
It was after this that a fork of OpenDivX was created, using the latest version of encore2 that was downloaded before it was removed. Since then, all the openDivX code has been replaced and XviD has been published under the GPL.

I rest my case.
