CNET editors' review
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

Version: DivX for Windows with DivX Player 6.8
"Cannot Download To Try Because of Adware -gen."
Pros: I have been using Divx Player (versions previous to this one) for a number of months. It is a very good player and also has a burn facility together with a number of other useful functions. I would advise users to download previous versions which can be found if you Google, until the problem below is sorted. ( see below.)
Cons: I have tried to download the latest update version 6.8.3. but it stops at 93% because of my Anti Virus Software - Avast detecting Win 32: Adware-gen (Adw). I have submitted a request to CNET to investigate in case it is a false positive. In the mean time I will continue with the older version 6.8.1. of Divx Player.
