DivX technology is incorporated in more than 250 million DivX devices
that have shipped into the market worldwide from major consumer electronics
manufacturers, including DVD players, digital TVs, gaming consoles, Blu-ray
disc players, and portable DVD players. Consumers are free to transfer their
DivX movies via DVDs, USB drives, SD memory cards, and portable hard drives,
or stream content over a home network for playback on their registered DivX
Certified devices
ERG possesses a 65% market share in Belgium, Luxemburg and the
Netherlands with 440 Movie Max and Videoland retail outlets. By offering
films in the DivX format, ERG will benefit from the high consumer awareness
of DivX throughout the Benelux, where the Company's brand is widely
recognized.
The DivX format allows movies to be compressed to a fraction of their
original size while still maintaining excellent visual quality. Full length
movies can be quickly downloaded from the Internet and played on DivX
Certified devices via DVDs, USB thumbdrives, SD memory cards, and portable
hard-drives, or streamed directly over a home network using DLNA.
"We're pleased to bring movies in the DivX format to another region of
Europe, giving consumers in Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands the
opportunity to enjoy films from top Hollywood and independent studios on the
DivX Certified devices they own," said Kevin Hell, Chief Executive Officer,
DivX, Inc. "Our relationship with ERG is an important step as we expand the
availability of premium content in the DivX format throughout Europe."
"DivX technology is synonymous with quality and portability," said Co
Mast, Chief Executive Officer, ERG. "The ability to deliver such a
high-quality viewing experience is one way in which we can differentiate our
product offering and compete successfully as we expand our business online."
Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous
testing program to ensure a high-quality DivX media experience, including
reliable video creation and playback, interoperability with other DivX
Certified devices and the visual quality users expect from DivX.
