DivX Editor's Review

For anyone who downloads video online, DivX is a household name. The thing many users may be unaware of however, is just what that term means. DivX is a brand that consists of various things at once. First and foremost, DivX can be a video codec – either in standard definitely, or in high definition, but it is also a video player. To be able to play video encoded in DivX, you do not need the DivX player as you may expect, simply the DivX codec. So, with that understood what is and why do you want DivX Plus?

DivX Plus contains a media player, a video converter, the DivX codec and also a plug-in for Web browsers. Put simply, the suite of applications gives you everything you might need for DivX. The player offers support for a wide variety of video formats and codecs, including MKV, MP4 and MOV, along with many different audio formats. While it doesn’t have the native compatibility of an application like VLC Media Player, it still offers a lot. If you want to encode/convert video with DivX, then the official converter is a great place to start and for streaming DivX, the plug-in is also useful.

Pro's: Contains every DivX product you need, gives you compatibility for DivX in browsers.

Con's: All features available as multi-codec packs as well.

Conclusion: If you only plan to use DivX on your computer, then this is a great package to download, but if you plan to use, convert or encode multiple video formats, then you may as well use something else.
