1) Format (codec) for digital video (.avi) files that uses lossy compression. DivX was created by reverse-engineering the MPEG4 format. DivX is known for being able to create high-quality video with very small file sizes. The makers of DivX claim it can reduce a DVD to 10% of its original size and be virtually indistinguishable from the original.
2) Acronym for "Digital Video Express", the failed DVD rental format from Circuit City. They way it worked was once you "activated" the Divx DVD movie, it would lock you out after 48 hours, at which point you could unlock it for another 48 hours, or buy the full movie and unlock it permanently. Never really caught on, mainly because you could only play Divx movies on Divx-enabled DVD players.

Get the divx mug.A play on the word "Zelda," of Nintendo's popular "Legend of Zelda" video game series. It refers to the cel-shaded graphical style of the "Wind Waker" installation of the series on Nintendo's Gamecube system. The word mainly has a negative connotation, as most fans were disappointed with the initial look of the game.
