Chris, I dont know what the very first player was but kiss was definately one of the first!!

Liquid, I don't know if you could modify your dvd player to play divx but you can a ps2 using the ps2 reality player. Only problem is its hard to find a good copy of it aswell as having some issues with xvid playback :)

Thanks for the tip Dela.

Chris, Depending on what part of the world you live in (since I know most of u are from the UK)Circuit City attempted a service they called DivX in the USA. It involved a DVD player with a modem. You could buy DVD movies for $2.99 but after watching them twice, everyother time the disc would call in to this company and you would get charged an additional 3 dollars or soemthing to watch it another time beyond the first two. Crappy, No?

I live in the UK. That is a really crappy idea. $3 every time you want to watch your movie.

Was there any way to copy the movies so you wouldn't have to pay each time you use it.

Given enough time someone would've figure out how to cheat the system...luckily, it didn't last more than six months I think. May it rest in pieces!

LOL, were they good quality? If they were and they didn't go out of business and people could copy them imaging how many good quality movies would be on kazaa.

Yea, DVD quality actually but they were encoded in such a way that only a DivX enabled player could read em AND said player also (supposedly) was able to identify dirty copies of a movie...Like I say, given enough time some kid in his garage would've cracked this, but It didn't last long enough to matter...no one really cared when it died either...

Dela: Well if someone cracked the protection and uploaded the DivX files to kazaa then they would be good quality.

I don't actually use kazaa myself. I've just heard that they have many poor quality movies.

Chris, says under construction, also there has been a lot of problems with the irc channel so they may be in trouble or something!

Dela, do you know of another site carrying the TMD codec so I can give the addres to all the people who keep on asking the same old "TMPGEnc won't encode ****TMD.avi".

why doesnt any body take peoples advice when we say tmd movies aren?t worth watching, period. you?ll end up having to hack the hell out of them because 99% of the time there all screwed up, bad frames, missing audio sections people throwing popcorn ect. ect. ohh yeah and not to mention the horrendous quality.

Tell me about it...There is nothing like hearing the audience laugh while you're watching 8-mile...I like to call this the TMD sitcom-effect. Filmed in front of a live audience right? HA! I think MTV's Jackass was the worst (or best, depending on the context) example of this...

I'm not the one who wants TMD movies or even thinks they have half decent quality. It's just that when ansering questions about TMC they won't take no for an answer.

Well I aint lieing about my age anyway! :)

Also just to comment on tmd. They suck!! and its not because of the people you can hear talking through the movie or any of that, its because, they ruin releases. They just download the work from groups like tcf, uti, ftf, videocd etc etc... and then they downsample them to the bollox so they can be easier traded over the worst p2p apps (eg kazaa/kazaa lite) but with half the quality they used to have!! peope just dont release real releases on kazaa because most of the users dont even know they exist and think tmd is the biggest thing ever!!

T2K: I wasn't lying about my age. I am 13 years old.

Dela: So TMD take fairly good quality movies re-encode them with their shit quality codec and then flood kazaa with them? That sucks!!!
