Divx-Logo Ever seen this logo on one of your consumer electronics products or packaging? If so, it'll be one of over 100 million DivX-certified devices to be shipped since the video-compression software started a certification programme back in 2003.

The newly passed 100 million mark represents over 2,500 individual products that support the playback of DivX video files, including DVD players, DVD recorders, portable DVD players, digital still cameras, mobile handsets and in-car devices – from brands such as LG, Philips, Samsung, Sony, Thomson and more.
