'''DIVX''' is an obsolete video format that existed briefly when DVDs were just being introduced. It was developed and heavily promoted by the now defunct Circuit City store chain. The format is unrelated to the video codec called DivX (originally [[Punctuation Shaker|DivX ;-)]] , which was deliberately named after DIVX as a joke.
