vorallem der letzte Abschnitt. Worser Next up is DivX, a former guest in this column for its internal upheaval. Now, that uncertainty appears to be affecting its earnings outlook. On Tuesday, after market close, the maker of compression software for digital media said it would earn between $0.44 and $0.52 per share after excluding one-time charges. Analysts, on average, had expected $0.67 a share. Management blamed the shortfall on higher development costs and issues with transitioning customers acquired in its $22 million November deal for Germany's MainConcept. And after that? Here's how CEO Kevin Hell put it in the press release: In 2008, our focus will be on execution as we prudently invest to extend these exciting wins while closely managing profitability. DivX is emerging as the open alternative to Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), giving consumers the freedom and control to enjoy digital video anywhere they choose. Does that mean DivX now has to position against Apple? Excellent. Because that's worked out sooooo well for others in the media business.
