Why no Divx support?

hiya i am planning on ditching my Android phone for the ever-dependable iPhone. now, i know everyone would probally agree that why the iPhone still hasn't got Divx (and all its sub-formats and its AVI containers PLUS MKV)support. more and more phones are embracing the format. and its becoming a more common support feature on the "other" phones.
*i did mentioned this on the feedback/suggestions section of Apple and still the big question remains.....hmmm.....

Because Apple has focused on a standard h264, rather than a plethora of formats that may be widely used but are not standards. If the OS took away a GB or so to support 50 formats people would be really unhappy. For those who want to waste memory with codexes for other formats there are apps that support them. Or you can use any of the hundreds of open source video converters to change you MKV, Divx, WMV or any other format to h264. Even iTunes can convert a number of formats for the iPhone.
If Divx is very important to you don't get an iPhone, as it most likely will never be supported.

  • ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750.  Why no Lightroom support yet?

    ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750.  Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?

    ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version.  I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.

  • Why is the support service for Adobe CC so bad?

  • Why is the support so bad and expensive?

    Putting in my serial number of a product that is now useless tells me I'm not covered by the support so I have to pay £25 to have someone call me.
    When I put in all my details so I can phone Apple myself I then get given a premium rate number to phone and when I get through I start getting asked the same questiuons I answered online ( to get my case number ) so the call is going to end up costing more than it should. The case number is supposed to make the call quicker.
    Why is help so expensive here?
    Why can't I just email support?

    John Galt, the poster already did that as he said in this discussion. He said:
    I'm sure with the millions of dollars Apple make every day they can pay staff for support. Instead of that they create a forum where people can do their work for them for free.
    I've posted details about my problem herehttps://discussions.apple.com/message/25581520#25581520

  • Why is Oracle support of such incredibly poor quality?

    A previous thread which was "LOCKED" because some one could not accept the feedback read:
    "Oracle make billions of dollars each year, but their quality of support just seems to get worse and worse.
    Why is Oracle Support so bad and how can we pressure Oracle to improve their service?
    Is this just my experience?"
    My answers and suggestions are:
    Oracle make billions of dollars each year, but their quality of support just seems to get worse and worse.
    I agree
    Why is Oracle Support so bad
    because the feel they can get away with it. So far, it is working.
    How can we pressure Oracle to improve their service?
    Probably the only way is to use other database software wherever and whenever possible. Competition is increasing in the database space, there are options for many database applications.
    Is this just my experience?
    I don't think so. It is becoming common knowledge in the industry that Oracle has very poor support. Oracle is becoming the CA of the 21st Century

    On the other hand, I elsewhere answered a similar assertion recently with:
    http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.oracle/browse_thread/thread/fa9b4753bdced0ad/b02e32cde9390b6d?
    http://groups.google.com/group/comp.databases.oracle/browse_thread/thread/a697e3130020283e/70e209cfaa01b2c2?
    ...My experience has been there are good groups and crappy groups in
    Oracle support, and periodically they revamp everything to squish the
    balloon around. Then we have to figure out how to work the system
    again, whether it is figuring out what time of day to call or what
    magic words to say...

  • Are we close to native DivX support in Adobe Media Encoder?

    Well Premiere has leaned on Mainconcept codecs for most of encoding/decoding and now when Mainconcept is owned by DivX in probably won't be long to see DivX supported in Mainconcept codecs.
    That would be very good I think, as no other compression currently available is as efficient, as optimized (quality, CPU) as DivX.
    What do you think?

    >>and totally unsuitable for editing. So heaven forbid....
    Well how suitable is wmv or h.264 ... for further editing? I'm talking export. I think anyone doing nle, probably saves sources if he thinks he will do more editing afterwards.
    Maybe I didn't put right words to it. I meant will DivX be included in AME as it mp2, h.264,wmv, quicktime..

  • Why is Mozilla Support not signing me in? PW & Username is correct

    When I try to sign into Support, I am automatically logged back out... the only way this one might work is because I hit the STOP button to keep it from signing me back out...
    WHy is Firefox Support signing me back out automatically before I can reply to my own support question??

    it was just a temporary glitch on the server side that should be fixed now!

  • Why wont apple support conmtact me

    why wont apple support contact me?

    I'm really surprised that you were told to just wait for an update. Are you using a particular piece of software that causes this? If "application X" causes the issue then maybe they are right and you need an update to run the software normally. But let's assume that's not it unless you say differently.
    Here's a couple things:
    1) I get that you are upset, but don't freak out. It's not going to make the rep on the phone help you anymore.
    2) Is there a mac store near you? If so, make a genius bar appt. and go there.
    3) If not call Apple and tell them your problem. Calmly. Not in a "you guys won't help me!" way. Tell them you want to send it in (because you have no store close to you. If you do have a store close to you see #2) so they can fix it. Firmly but politely let them know that this is a real problem. Don't ask for a NEW computer. The fact is, you don't need a NEW computer, you need yours fixed.
    4) If they do not help you then ask to speak to a supervisor and repeat.
    It's very important that you stop asking for a new computer. That isn't how it works. Anywhere. You just need yours fixed. If there really is a software upgrade needed ask them to explain it to you so you understand the problem. But most importantly stay calm.
    Let us know how it goes JC.
    Cheers.

    From your point of view and the framing of your question, Apple does indeed support WIndows better than Mac for the limited issue of iCloud.
    chewy cabeza wrote:
    ...YET, Leopard and Snow Leopard are NOT iCloud compatible. How can that be justified? Obviously, Apple can make iCloud available to Snow Leopard, but disdains us...
    Historically speaking, Apple has rarely gone backwards in its OS development.  Once they have released a new OS with new technology, I can only think of one example of when they backtracked:  They released TrueType technology in System 7 and then released System 6.0.8, which included TrueType technology for continuing System 6 users.
    So it is part of their culture to move forward and not backwards.  Other examples:
    •  Inclusion of the then novel SONY 3.5" disk drive in its release of the first Macintosh (and not the industry standard 5.25" drive); after its use in the Lisa and adoption for the Apple II series of computers.
    •  Elimination of the floppy drive completely in the release of the first iMac.
    •  Use of then novel AAC audio compression as "state of the art" compression for the iPod release in 2001 instead of the outdated mp3 standard.
    •  Refusal to allow use of FLASH in iPod Touch/iPhone/iPads.
    How could they justify these decisions?  The marketplace justified them for Apple!
    So, yes, they could release 10.6.9 with iCloud support.  But why now, if not then?

    According to the quote below from https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iphoto/id497786065?mt=8 it is optimized for iPhone 5 but only requires iOS 7.0 or later. I think it should work on a 4S -- what problem are you seeing?

  • Why nokia didnt support n-gage qd

    Do you have a link to this information about version 5 for your phone?
    Even if it does exist the only way to get updates for this phone is at a nokia care point/service centre.
    You cannot do it yourself as it is not and will not be supported by the nokia software updater.

  • Why no SyncML-support for Harmattan??

    I've used SyncML on my N95 with memotoo.com for years. Worked very well. I took it for granted that SyncML would be supported on the N9. But alas, it isn't. I find that really incomprehensible. Worse yet, CalDAV syncing with memotoo doesn't work - I don't know who's to blame for this, but on the desktop it works flawelessly so I do have a suspicion. Even worse: there is no way to sync contacts using CardDAV.
    MeeGo (the true MeeGo) has SyncML-support out-of-the-box. And the N9/N950 does have SyncML-support for bluetooth.
    Yes, contacts syncing is supported for Ovi. And Google. And Facebook. But I do NOT want to use those services, because of grave privacy risks and because they use yet again some proprietary protocols.
    I wonder, what where they thinking at Nokia for NOT supporting some well-known open standards??
    (While I'm ranting: why is there ^%@$ Facebook and GTalk-support over XMPP, but no self-defined XMPP account?? Yes, you can add such accounts from the terminal, using mc-tool, but really that's just a kick in the teeth. And where's UPnP/DLNA-support?)

    Hey Guys, Did you figure out any way to do PIM sync via SyncML on N9?
    I am struggling to get things moving as I come from N8.
    N9 just doesnt have any way to sync calendar, tasks with Ovi. Same with Notes.
    Best Regards,

  • Why is Verizon support for Backup Assistant so limited?

    Folks, I have wasted a whole day looking for a solution to this problem. Perhaps this posting will save someone from wasting their time.
    After over an hour on the phone with two customer support people and a wasted hour at the local Verizon corporate store, and endless hours searching for an answer online, I am at a dead end. There are hundreds of reports in these forums about problems with Backup Assistant (BA). There are instructions on the Verizon website that indicate BA will work if you follow the steps. It just ain't so. Seems to me all Verizon cares about is selling the latest and greatest smart phones.
    Here's the story. Backup Assistant was working on an LG VX6100. It is a tedious program, but at least contacts could be backed up when it worked.
    Today I transferred the 6100 to a new number for a family member, and activated an LG VX8300 for myself. The first phone customer support person directed me through the same steps numerous times and just couldn't believe that the menu options they spoke of were NOT on the phone. I was finally turned over to a second customer support person who directed me through exactly the same futile steps. I read them the same error message over and over again. It was: "Unable to retrieve catalog. Please try again later (3332)." Then I was directed to go to a Verizon store in town for help. Another useless venture. I brought along the following instructions which I found in one of the forums here:

    This response several months ago from MikeS_VZW - there IS a fix but as rep may have to look to find it -
    We hear your!  I have posted several things about not being able to access the Get It Now catalog on some older devices.  Before, there was no way to get your access back to the catalog.  You had to upgrade to a new device if you did not access the catalog between September and March 25, 2011.  There has been a lot of feedback about not being able to access the catalog, so we made it possible to get it back.
    Here's what you need to do to get your Get It Now access back on your older phone:
    1) Ensure you are able to access other data on your phone (go to settings & tools> My Verizon or My Account) this does not charge megabytes, but does connect to data.  This will ensure other data is working.
    2) Make sure you don't have blocks on your line that is preventing you from accessing the Get It Now catalog (app blocks, etc.)
    3) Take it into any Verizon Wireless corporate store (authorized dealers/premium retailers will probably not have this ability).
    4) Explain your issue to them.  If you are getting error 3332 when you bring up Get It Now, let them know.
    5) A representative will plug your phone into a computer and flash the certificate/update onto your phone (we have articles in our information database to walk them through that if it's their first time.
    6) Enjoy having access to your Get It Now catalog again!
    This is new information. Before, the only option was to get a different phone.  I know this sounds cheezy, but we do hear you. Lots of feedback came about due to this change, and although we tried to be proactive as possible to alert the affected users, there were some that fell through the cracks.  Feel free to PM me or call customer service at 800-922-0204 for further information about this.
    Good luck!  And note it specifies CORPORATE STORE - that may be why you weren't getting anywhere before.  Use the Store Locator (top right of your screen) to make sure you are dealing with a corporate rather than "authorized reseller".
    The store clerk read it. After dinking around with the phone for 15 minutes he said he thought a software update for the LG VX8300 might help. He took it in the secret back room, and came out a few minutes later and said that they didn't have the latest version because the IT people hadn't made it available to them and probably wouldn't because the phone was an older phone. Apparently anything older than 4 years is ancient in Verizon's eyes. He suggested I might be able to get it directly from LG. He also said I could bring in the VX6100 and maybe they could transfer the contacts directly from it to the VX8300 if they could find a cable. However, that still leaves me with no Backup Assistant. That was that.
    LG does indeed have updates available online, but it requires a special LG USB cable which I do not have. For instructions visit

    http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-VX8300
    Ideas, anyone?
    This whole ordeal does not make me want to commit to a 2-year contract that comes along with new equipment.

    I noticed that you posted this a couple of months ago...  I just activated an old VX8300 as well and am having the same error messages.  Did you have any luck getting it figured out?
    I agree with you as well.  I am getting married in June and do not want to upgrade to any kind of data plan for 2 years and after we get married we're switching to Sprint, not this Verizon garbage with the worst customer service that only cares about screwing people over in this terrible economy. (Sorry, enough ranting from me, just curious if you ever got it fixed? Thanks!)

  • EXPRESS: Why no raw support in Photoshop express from Revel?

    We just got back from a trip to Disneyland and I shot over 800 photos in raw format on my Canon camera. I uploaded the images using my iPad to Revel each night and tonight I am home and I opened Photoshop Express so I could send some photos to Walgreens and I see thumbnails of my images from Revel in PSE but when I try to open one, I get an error that Photoshop Express cannot open this file. I dug around some before I found a message from Patti on the forums that says that PSE does not support Raw Files. Come on guys, I am a premium subscriber and I have Raw support in Revel and yet PSE which has more editing options won't support the files. I wanted to tweak some and upload to walgreens to print and it's easier to do it from PSE than to have to use the camera roll and then Walgreens app. I also wanted to upload some to to Flickr which PSE support and Revel used to support but no longer does. What is going on Adobe? Why are all the cloud products so fragmented? I'm starting to consider just storing images on my NAS and using other apps to accomplish the tasks from my iPad because your cloud services are not making this easier.

    But InDesign has it as well and I think this is like the craziest omission I can think of and they have made some serious ones in the past.
    Hopefully the next version all the apps will have it and that in case there are any problems it will be done in the way so that it will not cause any unforeseen difficulties.
    thanks for the answer David. Good you can find a little time to visit here as with this thread we all guess and you know better.
