Introduction
------------

  The DivX(tm) codec 5.0.2 is the latest and greatest release of DivX,
  the best compression technology for high-resolution movies.  The DivX
  codec (short for COmpression-DECompression) is becoming the standard
  for high quality video over IP networks because it hits the sweet spot
  between superior visual quality and small file size. With a broadband
  connection, you can download a full-length feature film in the time it
  takes to have a pizza delivered!
