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 bundle from DivX, Inc. includes the DivX Player and DivX 5 codec. Both are free and no adware is included in the package. The DivX Player plays all AVI files that contain DivX video and MP3 audio (including DivX 3, 4 and 5 video formats), and enables access to DivX Video-on-Demand services. The DivX codec extends DivX playback support to all popular media players and also acts as an export plug-in for video-editing suites, allowing you to create your own high-quality DivX video. During installation you may optionally select to add a free six-month trial of DivX Pro for even higher export quality and control. This package supports English, French, German, and Japanese languages.
Editor's note: DivX Player (with DivX Codec) is now bundled with Google Toolbar.

Version: DivX Player (with DivX Codec) 5.2.1
"Great-The solution to movies that become pixelated at ful screen."
Pros: Excellent video at full screen. It's better than Windows Media Player 10, Real, and Quicktime. Poor quality small videos seem to come to life. Includes codecs so that DivX files can play on almost any media player.
Cons: Limited features. Some file types are unplayable. Not many files yet that actually use the DivX codecs. Even if you don't need them, it's still worthy for the picture quality.
