DivX® is a media format, including a lossy codec, created by DivX, Inc. (formerly DivXNetworks, Inc.), known for its ability to compress lengthy video segments into small sizes while maintaining high visual quality. It has been the center of controversy because of its use in the replication and distribution of copyrighted DVDs. Many newer "DivX Certified" DVD players are able to play DivX movies. DivX® is a registered trademark of DivX, Inc.
