Will HD-DVD make a come back like DIVX?

[peggypwr1]

Now that HD-DVD is "dead", the same thing was said for DIVX when Circuit City and RCA dropped support. Now DIVX is back, all my DVD players are DIVX/Xvid compatible.

DO you thing HD-DVD can comeback, maybe some programmers miffed at the copy protection schemes infused in Bluray will muck around with HD-DVD in an open-source environment or does the future belong the h.264 codec that can already compress HD content?

Assuming this isn't a joke, the old circuit city DIVX format was basically a pay-per-view DVD type format and has no relationship at all to the Divx compression technology that your player uses. Totally different beasts.

The new DivX is unrelated to the old DIVX (Digital Video Express)
