Today, we're excited to announce the official release of DivX 7!
This is the latest version of the codec DivX 5 ! The best and the most used codec in the world ! You need to install this software if you want to encode a divx5 movie or if you want to see a MPEG 4 movie.
You can now select between two different versions of divx video: divx and divx Pro. divx remains free, as always, and you can download it for no cost below.
DivX Pro is the professional-level product, but personal users may purchase
DivX Pro for $19.99. And if you`re willing to watch an occasional pop-up ad while you browse the web, you can download an ad-supported version of divx Pro for no cost at all. We wanted to find a way to make divx Pro available for no cost to all personal users, and this seemed like a good way to do it.
By default, we`re giving you the version with the most features for the lowest cost, which is the ad-supported version. Be sure to change your choice below if you want to download something different.
Changes from DivX Free 5.2 to DivX Free 5.2.1 :
•
New:
- Installer option to enable generic MPEG-4 playback component

I only installed it last night, so I rated it good.
If you watch every window on the installation, the two checkboxes for installing google toolbar and something else( mozilla firefox I think) appear, and can be unchecked by you before installing.
