Six New Blu-ray DVD Players Receive DivX Certification

DivX, Inc. has granted DivX Certification to six
new Blu-ray DVD players from Panasonic, Philips, and Denon.

The new DivX Certified DVD models join the world’s best-selling
Blu-ray playback device, the Sony PLAYSTATION 3, which has been
capable of DivX playback since December, 2007. The growth of DivX
technology in the emerging Blu-ray market demonstrates growing traction
of the Company’s licensing business into new product categories. DivX
technology has already become a de facto standard on standard
definition DVD devices, with an estimated 41 percent penetration in the
global market as of the end of 2007.

Thanks to the superior compression and high visual quality of the DivX
format, consumers can take advantage of Blu-ray technology to store and
playback over 25 hours of DVD-quality video on a single Blu-ray disc.
Newly certified DVD players include devices from Panasonic (Model:
DMP-BD30EE), Philips (Model: BDP7200) and Denon (Models: DVD-2500BTC1B,
DVD-3800BDC1B, DVD-3800BDSP and DVD-2500BTSP).

"The end of the format war creates more opportunity for Blu-ray
products," said In-Stat Principal Analyst, Michelle Abraham, Converged
Markets & Technologies, Multimedia. "In-Stat expects worldwide
shipments of Blu-ray players to reach 23 million in 2011. DivX is
well-positioned to become a standard feature on Blu-ray devices, just
as it has shipped in millions of DVD players worldwide."

Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous
testing program to ensure interoperability, security and visual
quality. DivX Certified products enable consumers to create, play and
share high-quality video content across a range of devices and
platforms. Over 100 million DivX Certified devices from a variety of
manufacturers have shipped worldwide.
