DivX for free.. is it needed when you have Perian?

[Deleted member 651465]

Hey all,

You can now nab a free DivX Pro license from here, no strings.

Just wondering, is it worth it? I've never had issues with Perian, but if it will boost overall compatibility surely it's worth a click?

Thoughts?

No point, imo.

The codec is free anyway and unless you need the other stuff it's worthless.

I got it last time they did this and I didn't use any of the other stuff so I deleted it (except the codec).

Well I heard there were problems with Leopard & DivX so i'm not installing it for the moment.

You only really need DivX Pro if you're wanting to encode anything as DivX, otherwise Perian (which I use) is perfect

Aye, I use Perian and Flip4Mac, but just wondered if the seperate DivX package would offer any additional codecs.

Oh well, never mind that then
