Jailbreaking DIVX DVD Players

“Because of anti-piracy measures, I had to burn a disc to register my DVD player […] burn the disc, play it, and then it was ready.”
This guy is saying how his old DIVX DVD player (DIVX the ill-fated rental DVD format, not DivX the codec) was able to be jailbroken by burning a disc. Does anyone know what he’s talking about? He’s not answering any questions about it in the comments.

Of course this is all academic at this point but I’m still curious.
