A quick look at DivX Connected

DivX Connected
We got a little peak at DivX Connected at last night's Digital Life press preview event. While there was a small set-top box next to the big TV showing off the software interface, it wasn't the GejBox that made a brief appearance last month, which shouldn't be surprising as DivX doesn't have plans to sell a set top box. Rather, the company is developing a platform that could be integrated with cable boxes, DVD players, and other set-top boxes.

The DivX connected platform functions much like an AppleTV, letting you access music, video, and pictures from any computer connected to your LAN. It's also internet enabled, allowing you to access online videos from Stage6 and Google Video. Because it's an open platform, expect other online video sites to be added to that list. The plan is to announce hardware partners by the end of the year.

More photos after the jump.

I agree with malren, a set top box that doesn't have to have the computers transcode the movie while watching it will be amazingly great to have.

Nice. I just got accepted into the beta program for this. Looking very much forward to having some hands-on time with it. 90%of the video stored on my drives is DivX. I rip most of my purchased DVDs to DivX and stash the discs in the basement...something that did streaming DivX right would be a godsend.
