DivX
Digital video format
DivX is a video codec and file format that compresses digital video into smaller files while maintaining reasonable quality.
Popular in the early 2000s for sharing movies online and storing video on CDs, DivX became synonymous with compressed video files: I downloaded a DivX of that movie.
The format has largely been superseded by more efficient codecs like H.264.
