Say What: FilmFresh releases movies in legitimate DivX format, but not in HD?

DivX Certified devices have been popping out of the woodwork for years now, including HDTVs, DVD & Blu-ray players, but no major (legal) content in the format has been available from the big studios. Until now that is.

FilmFresh.com, a new DivX upstart, has signed up content from Paramount, Lionsgate, Warner Bros. & Sony Pictures with new release and archive movies for purchase as DivX downloads. Sounds good, until you get down to the nitty gritty, which is bound to make HD lovers a little annoyed.

For now, the movies will only be available in standard definition only. Now here is the issue that gets HD supporters riled up: SD content and movies are on their way out, and to base a whole new company around them is a mistake. Still, for those that can stand SD, it opens up a new way to get a lot of new movies into your greedy hands.
