What kind of computer do you have? Divx is like 5MB or something. Thats like one millionth of your average modern hard drive.
I'm all for standards. I hate it when people post shit in ogg format or something, but Divx pretty much is the standard for %99 of what I play. If you download the codec WMP will play it seamlessly...well, I shouldn't say that since its probably giving MS too much credit. Its supposed to work that way though, and usually does. It does the same thing for Quicktime if one is running OSX.
He could put it on Youtube, and probably should, but Youtube will really screw up the quality of the video which is kind of too heavily matted anyway (IMHO).
BTW, do you also use Internet Explorer? Statistically most of the people online do, and I'm trying to find out who these people are because I know almost none of them.
And...do you drive a Ford, Chrysler or GM product that isn't a work truck or a sports car?
I have all these ideas for non-fiction books yet I never end up writing them...
