How it All Started We have always been obsessed with making video better. The DivX Story begins with Jerome “Gej” Rota. Gej was passionate about video and believed everyone should be able to enjoy the videos they want, how, when and where they want. In 1999, digital video was a frustrating experience. But he believed it could, and should, be an amazing one. So began our journey of innovation. Over the past 20 years, we have worked to perfect the video experience, first by pioneering the compression technology that would spark widespread adoption of online digital video, then with our digital rights management technology that enabled secure video delivery online. We obsessed over every detail of the digital video experience, resulting in the invention of numerous features that define the way we enjoy video today. As our technology was adopted by millions of consumers, then device manufacturers and streaming services, we implemented testing and certification to ensure that every device met our standards. We continue to pursue the perfect video experience. But our mission now involves much more than the experience of simply watching video. Video has become woven into every aspect of our lives – it’s a primary form of expression, communication and connection. We experience it in our cars, homes, and on our mobile devices. More people are making video than ever before. So, at DivX, we are working to improve the full video experience – watching, sharing and creating – in new ways. While we’re still obsessed with the details, we’re more committed than ever to ensuring everyone can enjoy video in the way they want, when and where they want.
