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.
