DivX for Windows

User Reviews

• Caution be weary

  Aquaaccretioo9/27/2017

  Pros

  Nice idea bad execution.

  Cons

  Installer is something that needs to be re-worked. No un-installer present so it stays on your PC. May contain Malware, use extreme caution.

  Summary

  Made the mistake to install it, now I get pop-ups that a new version is available. Impossible to uninstall.Avoid this or use extreme caution

• DivX is a Virus. AVOID THIS JUNK AT ALL COSTS

  Vanillaman11/5/2016

  Pros

  None. They sneak viruses onto your system through third parties.

  Cons

  DivX should be defined as a `Virus'.

• Good software, bad company

  graxions11/10/2015

  Pros

  Divx compression works well, it's fast and flexible but DON'T EVER UPGRADE TO A NEW VERSION.

  Cons

  The Installer pretty much tricks you into installing malware, adware type programs etc... Read each page carefully before you click next & carefully unselect items. The product contains adverts despite having paid for a previous pro version . Having paid previously for an upgraded version I now find that I'm expected to pay again for a new version which I was pretty much forced to upgrading to and lost previous functionality. You get a new version available message, you lose your paid for plugins and are expected to pay more money to get the new version to work as your previous version did. Backing up mpeg2 files to Divx is very hit and miss when it comes to sound encoding. One update works then the next fails again then you find the next update takes you to a different version of the software which you have to pay for again. Support is only through a pretty much ignored forum, they literally took my money and run leaving me with an upgraded trial version of a new product.

  Summary

  Avoid this company at all costs, they will take your money and then cause the software upgrades to require further payment down the line.

• DivX include Malware: pup. Optional Open Candy

  Raytjo9/25/2015

  Pros

  Useable but not for all codecs. Not fluently all the time. Converter and player not closing down easily.

  Cons

  I paid for a license in 2012 for the Mpeg2 player, 27-07-2015 for the Video Pack also for the DolbyTHX license. .Now DivX company offers me a DivX Pro for ? 17,99 which includes Video pack and Dolby THX, software that I already paid for.

  Summary

  I'll keep the softwause I've paid for it. I'm using it sometimes. I've been ripped off already and DivX doesn't give refunds

• Worthless Software

  Mike984/8/2015

  Pros

  No error(s) or problem(s) during the install.

  Cons

  When you buy a DivX movie from a website, you need the DivX Player to download this movie. After I downloaded this way 6 movies and burned these with the DivX Player or ImgBurn, all movies suddenly stopped playing more than one time when played on my Blu-ray Player and this Blu-ray Player has no problems with Blu-ray Discs. They simply revert to the start menu. Finally I unstalled the DivX Player and the uninstaller said the uninstall was successfully, but nothing was uninstalled.

  Summary

  Do not waste your precious time and money on this one!

• A must have but not that great

  tomysshadow7/6/2014

  Pros

  You can play DivX video, a very common and unique format with good compression.

  Cons

  Converter is pricey - why? Plenty of good free software that do the same like SUPER. Player sometimes distorts video or plays it upside down, but it is getting better with each update. MPC-HC is still better for AVI files IMO. The Web Player never seems to play anything - VLC Player plays it instead and when i disable that no DivX Web Player. (??) It also with each new install will reset the filetype associations to itself and download DivX Movies as well, which is quite annoying.

• Update downloads and installs easily.

  swanjame5/5/2014

  Pros

  Exceptionally nice video quality. The update downloads and installs easily. I must also say that it was easy to opt out of the add-ons.

  Cons

  Not a real con, but I wish it would play Blu-Rays and I would pay extra for this capability.

  Summary

  Add Blu-Ray capability and it would be even better

• Divix Player

  tryingalways3/31/2014

  Pros

  Sound and video was very good

  Cons

  On the earlier version, prier to this 10.1.1v, it was very slow to on come up on the screen, a little faster on this version

  Summary

  The best free media player's is Jet Audio's video and audio player. The pay program is cheaper than Real player and has a much better audio with more options.
