I remember well the original DIVX at Circuit City:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIVX
I honestly think that failure was a huge reason why Circuit City failed. They built up so much ill will from a technically literate audience.
- jlgreco 14y agoDIVX is a fascinating piece of history. One of the first "always on" DRM systems meant for common consumers, and it failed spectacularly.
- DanBC 14y agoWow. I was talking about (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexplay http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexplay) so there's a few different systems around. > Flexplay is a trademark for a DVD-compatible optical video disc format with a time-limited (usually 48-hour) playback time. They are often described as "self-destructing" although the disc merely turns black and does not physically disintegrate. The same technology was used by Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment under the name ez-D.
