Slashdot readers discuss this tidbit: “”Let me inform you about our new MPEG-4-based codec
called 3IVX. You probably heard of DivX 😉 as a movie compression format.
And indeed it’s great. But we (the whole 3ivx.com team… want to go a bit
further. Our goal is to optimize compression so that the file size is smaller, of
a higher quality and fully streamable. Moreover the codec will be supported on
all platforms (Windows, Macintosh, BeOS, *nix (including Linux), Amiga …). To accomplish this
the code of the player will become an open source.”
