    The biggest problem I have with the newer DivX builds (8.0 and above) is that it wants to phone home no matter what (even if you disable the update) the thing is it phones home when the ax is loaded ie when ever I open an avi file my firewall blocks divx.ax and the bugger freezes the video player for about half a minute, this was good years ago now it's just spyware, there are better alternatives like ffdshow,

    DivX is not bad really, but XviD does look much better and it's completely free and open source. As someone mentioned, hardly anyone actually uses divx anymore. It's all xvid and h264 these days.

    If you are using win7 then you just need to install the codecs, don't need the player app. Divx codecs + win7 are unique. They are media foundation codecs that support the new features in win7, not the old directshow codecs like ffdshow.

    The only two things you need to play anything out there are this codec and the ac3 filter codec if you use things like ripped dvd.

    Install those two and use windows media player.

    DivX used to be #1 at encoding videos at low bitrates and the format is still supported in some DVD Players, but I get the impression that they're living on their name and no long innovating. I only use it to play .divx encoded videos, but I don't find it to be as good as it should be for the price. Most people don't even use .divx anymore. I would say the Xvid Codec is better, uses fewer resources and is of course free, but personally I prefer to encode my videos in .mp4, I find the quality much better.
