DIAMOND  If you read the DivX infomation on the site, Youll notice they DID NOT include any H264 video or AAC audio or MKV encoder updates with the Mac version of DivX 7.

Strange that WE Mac users have been using H264 and AAC in MPEGs MP4 container for years now. Not a big Deal to use Quicktime components to encode them instead in MP4.

DivX 7.0 Converter is version 1.3 is still PPC CPU useable.

DivX 7.0 Encoder component 6.8 is still PPC CPU useable.

(Some nice new options as PPC only had 6.7 before)

DivX 7.0 Decoder component is still PPC CPU useable.

DivX 7.0 Web plugin is 1.4.1.4 is still PPC CPU useable.

Only the App player requires Intell CPU as it has Intell libraries for the DivX player app for MKV only but then you can use Quicktime 7 ( as they give you a Quicktime DivX only component as ^above ^ and Perian plugin to play MKV any way if you must. then save as MOV and not need MKV version again. )

If you Need to make DivX standard files for a stand alone player then this will still work for PPC users. and you can use Quicktime to do just that still, You just can ether wait till (IF) they add PPC libraries or Extract the components from the installer and add them manualy to your PPC system.

Installer>Show contents>contents>unpack the zip file>then unpack the new zip file>

archive> NEW content....copy the new components...

DivX 6 license is all thats needed as the encoder is still version 6 but now 6.8

JAKE THE SNAKE  Tried and deleted it immediately from my system.

Pure trash, same stupid flaws as the older version all had. Continuessly locks up my QuickTime player when I use it to open divx files.

Never worked properly under Tiger or Leopard OS X and I doubt it will work properly for Snow Leopard users either.

I'll stick the tried and true good and working old alternatives for my divx playback needs for 10.5.8 and 10.6.1 !!!

Audio plugin - A52Codec.component

QT plugin - XviD_Codec 1.0 alpha.component

Both combined work perfectly for me without locking up QuickTime and without the bloated trash DivX 7 or 6 ever had.

PEDRO FARDILHA  "What is your favorite feature of the DivX Player?"

Simple: Perian!!

Sorry!! couldn't resist :P

But actually, since version 7.1 still doesn't bring mkv encode (or faster decode) I think I'll keep using Perian to do the decoding part and VisualHub or one of it's "redux" siblings to those occasional encodings.

For my normal day to day encoding needs I', happy with mp4 (like when I want to upload to YouTube) so I have to agree that DivX is getting less and less relevant.

Best regards!

P.S.: I'll refrain myself to rate this version since I would be rating not the quality of the app by itself, but simply the usefulness that it has on my mac. and for the reasons described above, even if the app is really good, it just doesn't bring any kind of added usefulness to those already having Perian and one of the many free encoders installed on their computers.

ASHMADUX  heres a review for you: Divx 7 =GARBAGE.

if I can play almost any media on my mac using perian/flip4mac through quicktime, on my PPC, why cant noobie developed (mac) divx, which does the same things other programs do, is no longer ppc supported?

trash. gets the worst review i can manage here.  
(Version 7.0)

MICHAEL KWASNICKI  I don't get it.

Is DivX making itself unnecessary?

MKV with H.264 and AAC is definitely no effort and available for free.

Anyway why using those codecs in MKV since they are part of MPEG-4.  
(Version 7.0)

LIVINGS124  Still not 64-bit. Means System Preferences has to reboot in 32-bit mode for it.  
(Version 7.1)

RICH K.  it has been a long time since I encountered a divx file on the web. This, like Real player is slowly dying a long and arduous death. H264 and WMV have made it to the final. Lets see who wins?  
(Version 7.0)

UMAROMC  I don't know what to say... checked info on installed DivX Player... guess what? 7.0 was installed in place of my 7.0.1 installation rather than the 7.1 I expected- AWESOME! 7.0!  
(Version 7.1)

PENGUIRL  So DivX is now Intel only? Way to go and alienate a substantial portion of the Mac userbase. Between Handbrake, Perian and VLC I don't need you anyway so go ahead and take a long walk on a short pier.  
(Version 7.0)

UMIJIN  Intel only??

Boo!!
