DivX is a free download that provides everything you need to enjoy high-quality digital videos on your computer, including HD H.264 (.mkv) videos with AAC audio and videos created using all previous versions of DivX technology. You can also play your DivX files (.divx, .avi) on millions of DivX Certified® devices today. Look for DivX Plus™ HD Certified devices later this year that will support playback of all DivX and DivX Plus files, as well as .mkv (H.264/AAC) videos from the Internet.

Do they ever plan on supporting Vista x64? It's been more than long enough for them to put out a version for x64. In the meantime they give me all the more reason to use Xvid on all my x86 and x64 systems which works and is free!

Well I haven't played around with 7.2 much but a couple of annoyances have been fixed.
With 7.1 after the install when it opened a browser window in IE8 the video would start to play with some video abnormalities and after a few seconds cause the browser to crash. With version 7.2 this no longer happens.
The other annoyance was whenever you ran the "Check for updates" even if you had the latest version installed it would say there was 1 new update. This too has been fixed.
Edit to Rotjong (sp) I'm using it on Win 7 RC x64 with no problems so far.

Everyone uses xvid now, and eventually h264 will replace it. DIVX's time in the sun is pretty much over. All you need to install is ffdshow and you can play whatever you want.
ckasprzak, DIVX is an mpeg4 format. MP4 is just a container (like AVI or MKV) which among many other formats can hold divx encoded files.
