Yeah I bought Divx some time ago. total junk. I have always had problems with their encoder. Their website is real pretty. But their product and support leave a lot to be desired [ + quote]

I bought DivX 6 and recently upgraded to 7. The price is cheap and the product is great. I use both Dr. DivX and DivX Author (also purchased) for encoding (as well as some other sw occasionally). They have 50% off sales somewhat regularly, so I think I paid $20 or something like that. Not bad. I don't mind paying a fair price to support DivX development. I use DivX a lot and love it. Great quality and good compression. Sure, Xvid and other tools are free and that's fine, but I also do not mind paying a fair price for the Pro pkg. Their basic encoder is somewhat ugly and boring, but it works. Dr. DivX is fast, DivX Author is the best all around. Especially if you want the advanced menu features (which work, but which I rarely use). Anyway, they charge a fair price and the product is a good value. [ + quote]
