Rovi nabbed up the DivX line earlier in the year and now, they’ve laid down their cards to show us all why. They want a chunk of the adaptive bitrate streaming market.
To get it, they’ll need to take it from Flash and Silverlight, Adobe and Microsoft respectively.
That’s a pretty tall order.
Rovi, though, is ready for the fight. They say that DivX offers DVD-like functions and other features that the rest of them just haven’t got: subtitle support, multiple language audio, DTS, 1080p as well as standard FF, RW, play, pause and resume. It’s also got DRM in it, so that means security is in place. That could be one of the reasons that places like Best Buy, DISH, Lionsgate and Warner Bros are all using it.
