aXXo converts commercial DVD movies into computer files that are uploaded on the Internet for downloading. On file sharing websites, aXXo files attract a large following because of their relatively small file size, ease of download and use, and their consistent quality due to their reliable and synchronous encoding. Over a million users download aXXo files each month. Files released by aXXo follow the naming convention “name of movie[year]DvDrip[Eng]-aXXo.avi” where “DvDrip[Eng]” implies it was ripped from an English-language disc and “avi” refers to the resulting file format. The video is encoded according to the MPEG-4 ASP standard, compatible with the Xvid codec. The aXXo postings also carry an attached text file that states, in part: “Be aware of bogus sites and lamers, download your aXXo files from aXXo accounts. Enjoy!”
That’s the AXXO entry on Wikipedia. I just think about posting about AXXO when I ran over and re-read my post about the group who rips TV shows, the group who called themselves EZTV.
Of course EZTV is doing tv rips while aXXo rips movies from DVD.
Anyway, AXXO, the name associated with movie torrents in the internet and bitorrent is apparently a rebelious individual who wants to have payback to the board. Lot’s of people claimed to be AXXO but looks like nobody is being questioned about it. Anyway, if you’re AXXO you wouldn’t reveal yourself right? And claiming that you’re AXXo will certainly takes credibility to the next person who claims that he is AXXO. SO that means that whoever this AXXO Character is, he’s still out and his torrents, there and still giving us the entertainment we wants!
