Battle of the Planets in DivX Video!
------------------------------------
One of the best things about DivX Video is the way it has opened
up distribution possibilities for a lot of cool videos that may
not otherwise be widely seen. From independent short films to cult
movies with strong underground followings, a number of filmmakers
and distributors are discovering that DivX Video provides a great
way to get their content in front of new audiences.
A perfect example of that phenomenon is the groundbreaking
animated series "Battle of the Planets" from Sandy Frank
Entertainment. Originally shown on American television in the late
1970s, Battle of the Planets gained a popular following and was
one of the forerunners of the wildly popular anime style. The
series chronicled the adventures of a group of intergalactic
adventurers as they battled evil and protected the universe from
invaders. Beloved among anime fans, 70s nostalgia buffs, and
anyone who enjoys great sci-fi animation, the series is the
subject of a number of fan sites and discussion groups throughout
the Internet. You can now re-live the adventures of the Battle of
the Planets crew in high-quality DivX video. The classic episode
"Mammoth Shark Menace" is currently featured on the DivX Showcase,
and stay tuned for more news about future Battle of the Planets
episodes to come.

Warcraft III Sets Sales Records
-------------------------------
A while ago, we told you that the highly anticipated game
"Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" from Blizzard Entertainment would
feature DivX Video for cinematic cut scenes. In early July,
Blizzard released "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" with
record-setting results, shipping over 4.5 million copies to
retailers. Coincidence? You be the judge. You can look forward to
more announcements about DivX technology in some of your favorite
games in the near future....
