      MainConcept has contracts with most editing software producers for their MPEG and AVCHD codecs, a revenue stream you don't throw out if you buy them. More likely DivX will put their product into that mix.

      Three hopes:

      Better DivX integration

      DivX learns how to design a better UI

      The price of free-standing AVCHD encoding is reduced

        Or maybe they'll mix them together into one product.. ?

          At a reasonable price, why not?

          AVCHD decoding for 'normal' DVD player chipsets would be nice too, and DivX is making inroads with their codecs there already.
