I think the first DivX I watched was Princess Mononoke. Not a bad start for sure!

Mine was a cam recording of Scary Movie 2. Horrible, horrible, horrible. Not the fault of the codec. I avoided cams after that and waited for the screeners.

But oh boy did I love my divx South Park episodes.

I probably haven’t watched a movie in 5 years.
