Want DivX on your 360? Join the petition |
Ó
One thing Xbox 360 gamers might notice about their consoles is the inability to play or stream certain files through it. Specifically, there doesn't seem to be a legitimate way for you to stream DivX, Inc.">DivX video from your PC to your 360. While there's probably at least one obvious reason why the movement for DivX on the 360 is taking a while (*coughWindowsMediacough*), it doesn't stop people from making their voices heard.That's why now would be a good time to make YOUR voice heard. It seems that people have been clamoring for DivX format support so much that they've made an online petition. Now, this petition has been up for a long time, but until Microsoft does something can see on Xbox 360s, instead of simply talking about it, people will still be plugging this and nagging the console maker for this one particular upgrade.
Of course, a workaround's already been made by enterprising programmers, but it doesn't do much to stem the flow of the monopoly of one video format over another. Better to let the people decide by seeing which one suits their needs more than to place a stranglehold on competition. If you agree with that sentiment, then you may just want to sign on it and hope Microsoft takes notice.

because DivX is used mainly for pirated content.
Microsoft wont pay royalties to Divx in order for it to pbe playable on the Xbox360.
What does this mean? They first have to pay Divx in order to use it on the Xbox360. then its development time to get it incorporated into the Xbox360 software.
This means it wont be free. Microsoft will charge probably 10 bucks to everyone to wants it and will probably charge 10 bucks for every new version of divx.
Why should they support the competitions format when they already have a format of their own.
Even if all 4 Million Xbox Live subscribers petitioned Microsoft to support Divx on the Xbox360. The chances are slim to none.
Do you people even realize, it took them over 5 years to support a unified format for their office suite. And thats over 100 Million people who buy the Microsoft Office Software that have been annoying MS to do something about the file system. Whats 4 Million people to them? Absolutely nothing, they have your money, just be glad they are still adding games to BC list.
Until someone who is intelligent enough to use the XNA software to make a open-source Video player that supports Divx. Dont expect MS to do anything about it.
u can already play divx and mp4 files on ur xbox360
with transcode 360........
We know that. The difference between Microsoft actually supporting another format other than its own and a workaround, however, is that Microsoft willingly closes its doors to anything other than itself, and that just doesn't seem fair.
yeah, i did this a long time ago. Idiots need to stop being stupid..
Why would they want to offer DIVX....?
They obviously won't sell as many HDDVD's.
Duh.
The end.
A much smarter way would be to use XviD which is open source and plays back all DivX formatted movies. That would cost them and us nothing!
Signed~
Make a petition for XviD ..
Does this work with XviD Files stored on DVD+R or X360-HDD?
