You guys are all lucky: somehow I fell into the whirlpool of 3ivx's money-grabbing mentality - I ordered the 3ivx's MPEG-4 Tools several months ago. Their bankers, WORLDPAY, took my money, and 3ivx linked me onto a download page. It was completely blank, and --looking at the source--contained no links whatsoever. i left a sampled tab sit there for two hours without any download initiating.

The second worst of this is that I contacted 3ivx in EVERY way I was possible: the last "company" page, the forums, and two of their senior administrators. I didn't even get an email acknowledging my problem.

So I then started trying to communicate with the bankers who handled the transaction (I use the word loosely: TRANSaction implies that there was something provided by each side to TRANSfer). They have ignored my emailss well - not dismissing them, nor discrediting them, just plain not bothering to respond.

I WARN ANYBODY THINKING OF DOING BUSINESS WITH THESE THIEVES. IT'S A CERTAINTY THAT THEY'LL TAKE/STEAL YOUR MONEY, BUT A COIN-TOSS WHETHER THEY'LL EVER PROVIDE YOU WITH THE PRODUCT YOU 'PURCHASED'.

...and, in the meantime, if you've used Divx --or the sample 3ivx-- you risk having every movie clip PERMANENTLY branded with a 3ivx stamp which is irremovable.

I advise everyone against this software. It looks so promising - and even performs well - but hear my experience of 3ivx and WORLDPAY stealing my money, and the inability built into 3ivx's site giving you NO access to any direct support whatsoever!

The 3ivx decoder is faster at decoding DivX video than the latest DivX encoder (5.0.6). If I move a window in front of QuickTime Player playing a movie with only the Divx decoder, the movie slows down. When dropping the 3ivx Delta 4.0.4 in the Library/QuickTime folder it takes over the vidoe playback and I can move a window in front of QuickTime player without a slow downs. Its good to have the Divx files also, since the lates version can play back audio from some files that 3ivx itself can't.

Terrible divx player it creates a kernel panic. I have never had one on this computer this program sucks!!!!

Cool.
