Quicktime 6.1 Due
MacCentral reports that Apple will be releasing a new version of Quicktime before the end of the year to support new 3G cell phones and the 3GPP technology, based on MPEG4:
One of our sources had told us that Quicktime 6.1 is almost ready with some new features... and that the MPEG2 component will get a sister.
"This is the next step in the delivery of a promise we made when we announced QuickTime 6 with MPEG-4 capability," Rhonda Stratton, senior product line manager, QuickTime, told MacCentral. "We started to see some things on the Internet with MPEG-4, but now we are seeing another industry pick up the standard for 3GPP, which is based on MPEG-4."

Update: The "sister" component appears to be the 3GPP technology.

Is there any legitimate divx content out there? It seems to me that I've only seen it used for pirated movies and porn.

A story over at MOSR said divx was coming, because it was one of the choices for video codec in the iChat video conferencing (along with ogg vorbis for audio, which the next version of iTunes will probably have).

DivX is completely legit. Porn is not a reason for it to be illegitament either. The fact that you see lots of illege movie copies in divx format just gives it a bad name. It's a pretty decent codec compared to what else is out there. New DVD players are even starting to encorporate Divx ability from the manufacturer. Not to mention hackable players that let you modify the code in them to play other codecs.

Having supports for Divx will be great since I am having hard time to watch those DIVX movies on my mac..
I wish this speculation of incoporating Divx can be realised as true near future..
Cheers!

DivX seems like a catch all for a bunch of hacked Mpeg4 codecs from Microsoft. It's a very crappy codec used for very crappy things, it's not even an official standard, which is why there is so much trouble playing them on a Mac due to so many different things that can go wrong.
If you want to encode, used Mpeg4. It'll play on many computers and devices without hacking because it's an open standard.

Except for the content Apple provided, I haven't seen any MPEG4 content on the web.
It's a big flop?

Have a problem no longer. And no messing around with converting or doctoring your avi's just so you can play them.

Wireless 3GPP? Cell phone integration? New version of QuickTime to coincide the release of new phones?
I smell iPhone.
