    This new build fixed the issue where when playing a divx video in a browser it would turn off Vista Aero skin. :)

    Good job DivX team. Awesome browser support. Low system requirements ... very well done.

    very nice plugin for streaming a divx on the web.
    but with the file size of the Divx vs a wmv or mov or swf or flv,, I don't really think it will take off for streaming. Due to the large file size.

    horsecharles: It only needs a browser - I have IE totally removed and it runs fine.

    This has low resource usage! It played this vid fullscreen without maxing out my CPU when set to 5x200mhz FSB(1ghz) on an AMD Athlon XP, while only increasing the Firefox memory usage by about 10mb! For comparison, Media Player Classic used roughly 25mb for the same video, but it can play the same video on a 500mhz(with ffdshow 20041012).

    Edit: Hey, Kramy! You're right about any browser-- 'cept for Opera's latest version 9. Not as lucky as you @ resource usage, will try on more systems...Wish I could remove IE--work w/ too many sites that require it.

    BTW Works on all windows versions, esp. fully patched ones: the only requirement is IE5, which came out before win98se. Does use up a LOT of resources though!
