Jerome started a company with a few other budding technology entrepreneurs, and in August 2001 DivX 4.0, the first official DivX codec, was released to the public. In 1999, Jerome “Gej” Rota, a young French animator, created a version of an MPEG-4 video codec (a portmanteau of “coder/decoder” that encodes a data stream for transmission and then decodes it for playback) that enabled DVD-quality video at small file sizes. The DivX ® Open Video System - first introduced nearly twenty years ago - pioneered many of the technology innovations and product features that would become key components of the services we now use every day, hel ping lay the foundation for a massive change in media distribution and consumption. Some of the many, many streaming options we enjoy today. But the streaming video nirvana that we now take for granted seemed like a distant dream back in 2001 when a brash San Diego start-up company created one of the first Internet-based video-on-demand platforms. With dozens of different streaming providers, it feels like virtually every movie or television show ever created is available for anyone to watch, anytime on any device. Video streaming services have never been more popular than they are now.
