"New Converter and Player, otherwise ignorable."
Version: DivX 7 for Mac 9.1.1
Pros
At least the DivX folks keep busy improving their software. This time there are new versions of Converter and Player. The QuickTime components are the same as v9.1.0.
Cons
Everything. Is that a fair assessment? I don't know. But I don't see the point of bothering with this DivX stuff except to be able to play DivX media, if you ever run into it, which is rare, via the provided QuickTime components.
Summary
Hurray.No more, forced install unless you stop it, Google Chrome with the installation. That's an improvement. (Use Chromium folks. No default user surveillance by Google is required).
I dug around inside the installer package for v9.1.1 and found the ReadMe. Inexplicably, it directs the reader to a worthless URL for "the full version history." At that URL you find they haven't bothered to provide any data beyond version 8. What is it with these strange DivX people?!
Here is what little the ReadMe provides about what's 'new' in version 9.1.1. It sounds more like a marketing script to me:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
DivX Plus Converter
DivX Plus® Converter easily converts popular formats to high-quality DIVX, MKV and MP4 video for smooth and reliable playback across a range of consumer electronics devices
• Convert a range of formats to DivX and DivX Plus for playback on DivX Certified devices
• Two new MP4 profiles let you easily create video for iPhone®, iPad®
• Create advanced features like smooth FF/RW and combine multiple files into one video
• Batch convert videos—even from different formats—in a single session
• Get 15-day trial of MPEG-2/DVD Plug-in to back up your DVDs
DivX Plus Player
DivX Plus® Player is optimized for a stunning HD video playback experience.
• Watch high-quality DivX (.avi and .divx), DivX Plus (.mkv) and other popular video formats on your PC
• Easily transfer videos with DivX To Go® to any DivX Certified® device or stream to DLNA-compatible devices in your home
• Experience advanced features like smooth FF/RW, multiple subtitles and multiple audio tracks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indeed, version 9.1.1 of both DivX Converter and DivX Player are installed, if you care. Both work as expected. The provided versions of the two DivX QuickTime components are the same as those in version 9.1.0, those being v6.8.4.3 of the decoder and v6.8.3.5 of the encoder.
As usual, the only thing potentially useful is the DivX decoder QuickTime component. As such, there's nothing in v9.1.1 worth caring about if you already have v9.1.0. Go use better video encoding software please and skip this irrelevant stuff. -
"Installs Google Chrome without request. Still 32-Bit."
Version: DivX 7 for Mac 7.2
Pros
None at all for me. Some may wish to keep the DivX Decoder QuickTime component in case they run into DivX video files.
Cons
The player app is lame. The Preference Pane is still 32-Bit. The Installer only lists that it is installing DivX files. And yet it force installs Google Chrome without asking permission. This is of course unscrupulous and unacceptable.
Summary
*This review is for version 8 (not 7.2) of the DivX installation*
I no longer recommend installing DivX and its associated files. I won't miss it.
I have uninstalled all of DivX due to the aftermath of installing version 8. I found that:
1) Google Chrome had been installed onto my Mac without any listing in the DivX ReadMe, without any warning and without my permission. I was forced to uninstall Google Chrome, which I refuse to use due to its user surveillance. Instead I use one of the open source Chromium alternatives that have no surveillance.
2) The DivX Preference Pane remains 32-Bit, resulting in the user having to restart System Preferences in 32-Bit mode. At this point in time that is annoying, archaic and demonstrates lazy programming.
I never liked the DivX Player in any case, never used it, and won't miss it. I also rarely run into DivX video any longer. I see no advantage in the format and no longer care about it, especially after discovering the aftermath items listed above.
It might be useful to hang onto the DivX Decoder QuickTime component if you are concerned that you may run into DivX video files in the future. I have kept it in my /Library/QuickTime/ folder. Don't bother with the DivX Encoder component.
Otherwise, good riddance DivX. I don't deal with customer disrespect and abuse. -

"Makes watching videos impossible"
Version: DivX 7 for Mac 7.2
Pros
There are none.
Cons
Not only doesn't it play video, it makes the screen go black with a blank white box in the middle so you can't do anything else, either. You have to cmd-Q out of your web browser and start over. Most irritating browser plugin ever.
Summary
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. If you get a pop-up asking you to upgrade to the latest version it's already too late - that popup window won't ever close (whether you upgrade or not). Seriously pathetic software.

"DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS BUGGY JUNK"
Version: DivX 7 for Mac 6.7
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have just spent an hour and a half trying to watch a video over the web. This piece of junk crashes every browser I try to use it on. And since it doesn't cache anything, if you're watching a long video, you have to restart from the beginning. Every time. And you can't save to disk until it's done buffering the whole thing. Totally inefficient and unusable.
Infuriating garbage. Stay far away. They don't provide uninstall instructions, either, so you're stuck with it once you install.
The features look nice, for the two minutes it runs before my browser quits. Other than that, I'd give this negative stars if I could.
