Quizá han superado la certificación, pero el desarrollo no sea de la gente de "DivX.com"
Desde mi punto de vista, "destila" varias cuestiones:
- Si no está desarrollado por "DivX.com" si no que simplemente está certificado, posiblemente no pidan la certificación de DivX-HD. A fin de cuentas es sólo una certificación y el desarrollo quizá tendrían que hacerlo desde 0. Puesto que no es un desarrollo de la gente de DivX.com
- "DivX.com" querría entrar al desarrollo del codec de 360.

2. So Mr Vashist-Rota is surprised Microsoft aren't happy with him after he founded his entire company on stealing their codec?
Don't forget that immediately after the stolen DivX 3 codec, he started an open source project (OpenDivx), got a non-stolen MPEG-4 codec implemented, then abandoned the project and rebranded OpenDivX as the commercial (and non-free) DivX 4, the basis of every version his company has released.
The only reason DivX hardware players sell is because they happen to play the more popular, open source, and free MPEG-4 codec -- XviD. And let's face it, the vast majority of content in XviD is pirated.
I'd love to know why consumers should care about DivX 7 instead of open standards like MPEG-4 AVC (H.264)...which just happens to be supported on Xbox 360, PS3, Apple TV, iPhone, etc -- and the numerous implementations of H.264 codecs (including Quicktime, Nero Digital, and the open source x264). Not to mention it being one of the two major codecs on the Blu-Ray disc format.
Despite its 100million+ penetrration, the DivX brand itself is meaningless -- brand your player as as XviD or MPEG4 or whatever you need to tell them it'll play their downloaded content and the consumers will buy it.
