I was just getting ready to begin finding some tools to do the very same tasks. Great topic. I was just getting ready to begin finding some tools to do the very same tasks.

DivX is more than just the codec, is it he codec and the container format. All HD-DVD and Blu-ray devices support MPEG-4, they have to - MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is a required codec for both disc formats. Along with MPEG-2 and VC-1. But, so far, none of the players have DivX support, to my knowledge. Since they have decoders capable of decoding HD MPEG-4, they have the power to decode lesser MPEG-4 variants, so they could theoretically get support in a firmware update. Both the PS3 and XBox360 have more than enough power to support DivX if they software is updated.

These codec issues are way over my head, but I have seen several of the gamer sites say that it would support DivX, but haven't heard anything by Sony or Microsoft. This is purely speculation on my part and with a limited understanding of the complexities of the codecs.
