Earlier Pat Cook posted re a site http://www.vidilife.com/ where they talk about divx being the missing ingredient if the videos on their site don't play.
What's the deal, why is divx such a pain to use and why can't all of this be made easier for the average user.
Why does it have to be so difficult, is it the vidilife peeps or the browser peeps making life complicated? i think I have the darn stuff downloaded and it's not working. Or is it a MS issue?
I've got to believe there is an easier way to make video work for the masses. Is there something we all can do to make it easier, short of downloading a client that also downloads the divx bits?
This is not urgent by any means, however I think it's important for the long haul. When you have a minute I'd like to hear your thoughts when you're back in the office. It's 2006 and we're still making users fuss too much, IMO.

Sounds very cool.
We just started puting up videos on http://labs.divx.com. The intro is
the only one live, but we have day one footage on the way.
One bit is with Creative about the zencast. I am hoping to get
together with josh so we can get fireant on the site too.
I'll see if I see doug around tomorrow. We will probably be in
automobiles in the morning and then play it by ear in the afternoon.
back to the cave around 4 to edit up pieces.
What does everyone want to see? We can probably split up tasks among
everyone here with cameras on the floor.
Cheers,

p.s. this morning we were all handheld, this afternoon with the
tripod. It is funny how much respect a tripod gets you.

Update from my brother who's on the floor (Doug of DougMeade.com) ...
He's back on the main floor carying around a cool little product that
RCA is going to market: its a video camera about the size of a
digitial camera - It takes about 30-45min of video, saves AVI, and
has USB output. He said it will sell from between 130-150 dollars
most likely.
I believe this is made by the same people that made the CVS-sold
version that didnt have a usb out.
If anyone wants to check it out, look for him :-) He's carying a
small vid camera ... surely that would narrow it down? :-) You should
also be able to send him a message to his phone via: phone @
