Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The creators of the popular DivX video format also make this freeware bundle for playing and encoding DivX files. Video and audio playback is fairly smooth, and you can shift among full-screen, compact, and console modes using the right-click context menu. Skins are available on the publisher's site.
The installation offers a six-month trial of the Pro version of the encoder. The help file is external, on a live Web site, and not very helpful for answering basic questions such as what formats you can play and where to install skins. The codec's user guide is a separate download.
The program eats nearly 20MB even when there's no video playing. But, if you simply need to view DivX files or convert other files to the DivX format, this bundle is an adequate option.
Publisher's description
From DivXNetworks, Inc. :This download, the official DivX video-software bundle, contains our latest, free codec offering built to play every version of DivX content ever created. The DivX codec plugs into existing video software to create high-quality DivX videos at a fraction of the original size, and includes advanced features such as enhanced video quality, a feedback window, more effective compression capabilities, and full support for decoding MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile video.
By enabling playback of all DivX content, the DivX codec gives you instant access to millions of DivX videos available on the Internet today. The DivX codec lets you create your own movies in the DivX video format or reduce the file size of current video files to store them on a hard drive or standard CD-R. Also, with DivX-certified player devices, you can watch the movies you create with the DivX codec anywhere from your TV to your personal video player. Version 5.2 features a built-in bit-rate calculator and an updates-checking tool, and adds automatic update notification for the DivX encoder.
