All About DivX
 
The DivX® codec is a patent-pending, MPEG-4 based video compression technology that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough to be transported over the Internet, while maintaining high visual quality. To view the compressed version of the video, you need a media player designed to play DivX-encoded content. So download the DivX Player (it is included in all of the DivX software bundles, and the DivX® codec is pre-installed), then get ready to experience a full-screen, full-motion, high-quality DivX video experience.

DivX is available for Windows, Mac and Linux users.

There are two major versions - the the original DivX version which is free and the new DivX Pro in both free and paid ($30) versions. The "free" version is supported by adware from Gator Advertising and Information Network (GAIN). In our opinion, Gator is pretty insidious and should be avoided.
