Don't be a ignorant moron.

Divx support is huge, it is a lot more common than H.264 is right now. It is widely used and supported (except in devices like this it seems). People are not going to want to re-encode all of the media. Never mind the fact that re-encoding it is never a good idea as compressing and encoding an already compressed encoded format just makes the quality go down.

H.264 may be the future, but it doesn't have a big enough foot hold just yet.

On top of that, there are plenty of people that use divx for legitimate purposes. Don't make ignorant blanket statements and try to group everyone in the same group. Until the latest rounds of codecs, divx was by far the best one to use for internet video due to its high compression while maintaining quality in the video. Making download smaller and it easier to stream. Red vs Blue used it just to name one of many sources of legitimate divx usage.
