„I knew what it was, it was Macrovision. Macrovision is a technique used on VHS tapes and DVDs to prevent people from copying movies. Basically, Macrovision makes the sync signal of the picture vary enough that it's almost unwatchable. A good TV can pull the signal out of the mess, but VCRs typically can't.“

„New video hack looms: While DVDs and their massive MPEG-2 data files (four gigabytes and up) are far too unwieldy to trade on the Internet, a new video hack is threatening to provide a medium-quality alternative to retail home-video -- and it can be distributed over the 'Net. Inexplicably named DivX (and not to be confused with Circuit City's deceased pay-to-play Divx, which went out of business last year), the rogue video format can compress an entire feature-length movie within a 660-megabyte-or-less data file, and folks with broadband connections can download a movie, normally pirated from a DVD source, from some nebulous Internet locations in just a few hours.“http://www.dvdjournal.com/previousnews/ news200003.html - Cached
