DivX Seeking Beta Testers

By the Betanews Staff | Published June 11, 2007, 1:21 PM

Video codec company DivX is seeking individuals to help beta test some "secret stuff" the company is concocting in its labs. Although it's not saying what software (or hardware) products it plans to test, DivX has built a streaming media set-top box code-named GejBox, after DivX's creator.

"We want to include a few avid DivX fanatics to help us make sure we’re building the best technology we can come up with," Gej wrote on the DivX Labs site. Applicants must have a home network with modern computer and an existing library of DivX media. Interested users must fill out a survey to apply.
