Dr. DivX is the first and only official DivX Encoding application. Just as DivX and DivX Pro have enabled anyone, anywhere to watch and distribute great looking digital video, this now makes the act of creating DivX video as easy as the act of watching it. It lets you create an awesome DivX video from almost any source right on your computer in just three easy steps.

    Is there any way to use this interface with the Xvid codec, if for no other reason than comparison testing?

    That said, it's the easiest way for me to get stuff into Divx, and I'm glad it's available, warts and all, and that it's free. May not be perfect, but at least it's out there.

    To Qlib :
    For a few beta Dr. DivX is known to crash easily and it's a shame.
    But if you google a bit, you will find out a known workaround.
    Basically, the method is to convert your vob files to mpeg (using for example Nero software).
    I knwo it is an extra step but it succed each time.
    Hope it helps.

    i tried the previous beta a while ago.. would just crash whenever i loaded any video into it.. this one crashes on startup and i did a clean install of windows 2 days ago..!! ok so its windows after all but geesh!

    well.. it may be good but it remains in the s***e category until it will actually run!

    .. I honestly prefer AVC.. esp with that dumb 4gb limit for divx on ps3 (not that AVC doesnt have it too im sure it does but the quality u can smash into 4gb is just better).. also PS3 may be officcially supported DivX but it doesnt have the "DivX Ultra" support for menus and such but maybe it will come someday.... unfortunately theres not a lot of good encoders for that (AVC that is).. at least not one that any non-sceners who cant do AVISynth scripts can use.... Nero Recode is decent but it crashes WAY too much esp if you try using 5.1 sound or multiple audiostreams and such.. just discovered AutoMKV.. someone told me it would do MP4 -AVC as well so guess ill give that a shot..

    very slow and very disappointing development of this project

    seems like years ago that the original Dr DivX project ended and the current Dr DivX 2 began

    how difficult is it to ask a few questions and then pass those details to the codec ???
