  Version: DivX for Windows with DivX Player 6.2.2

  "Its still the same favorite DivX codec, but I prefer v3.11a :)"

  by CableguyTK on July 5, 2006

  Pros: Its free.

  It comes with a free media player.

  Codec now supports movies encoded with the popular XviD codec.

  Cons: Big installer for a simple codec.

  Media player (DivX Player) is a piece of junk, stick with WMPlayer or VLC.

  By default the DivX watermark is turned on.

  By default the DivX system tray icon is turned on when playing DivX movies.

  Still the best codec for viewing DivX movies, I just wish they would make an ultra lite version of the installer which would come with just the codec and nothing more. I dont need all the junk in the installer as it stands right now.

  "The codec is great, but no one needs the player."

  by CableguyTK on January 24, 2006

  Pros: Its free.

  The codec is the LEGAL kind of Mpeg 4 codec.

  It works with all DivX videos and video players...Windows Media Player 8/9/10 included.

  Cons: The DivX player is an unnecessary piece of junk, since Windows Media Player plays all DivX movies and is already installed on Windows machines. It just makes the download have a bigger size...bah!!!

  By default it has the DivX watermark show up in the bottom right of movies. You have to turn it off...an option which takes some time to find.

  "Usefull Program"

  by trustable_review on April 11, 2006

  Pros: The DivX budle is no doubt a usefull download. It installs codecs onto your computer so that it is possible to view the advanced video format "DivX". Along with this usefull codec the bundle comes with a DivX player for playing video in "DivX and AVI" format. For me the codecs were a nessesety since i rip DVD's to my Hard Drive in the format of DivX because of the good quality to size ratio. The codecs decode and play DivX files very efficiently, and could be a nessesity for many people like me.

  Cons: Even though the codecs are great, i didnt see much point in installing the players for the soul purpose of just playing video's, since once the codecs are installed, windows media player and real player can play DivX files. Thankfully for my purpose it is possible to just install the codecs without the players. Also a little bit shocked by the size of the download, thought it was a little large for just a simple player and codecs. Nevertheless the codecs and player definitely work well.

  "good but heavy quality"

  by white.lightning on March 18, 2006

  Pros: nothing to complain about hi quality of this player . Otherwise is essential software considering that a big number of vidoe is DivX , especially on filesharin' programs . So you'll need it if u want to download videos .

  Cons: My experience is not so positive : i find it little heavy & above all i don't like its .dll file in my system 32 . I think it's not WINDOWS XP big friend...not so rarely fails in readin' video files & i'm gettin' convinced is not compleyely compatible with OS , much more convinced since i tried to remove that .dll file & my OS becomes more stable . Anyway i newly re-install it : is the best DivX player on market & i can't do without .
