Div. X for Mac - Free download and software reviews. Pros. The developers get money in their pockets. Cons. This is some shady software. It will give you pop ups telling you to update with no way to verify whether these updates are legitimately from the developer or someplace else. Unlike anything else in Mac, a simple drag and drop *will not* remove divx from your computer. Trying to remove it manually is nearly impossible.
Thank god I cancelled the latest update that has a reputation for hijacking your browser settings with conduit. Summary. Avoid at all costs. If you have it, find a way to uninstall. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros.

I liked Burning an Illusion movie from start to finish. This film is a very decent movie, that filled with much of fantastic action. You will not ever regret about.
None. Zilch. Cons. Conduit search malware takeover of your Mac.
Even on the Divx forums. Even with this overwhelming evidence that they are KILLING their target audience, they continue to include this . DIVX - wake up! Summary. Avoid this like the plague, or your system will be infected and difficult to clean.
The Conduit search malware installed takes over the search functionality of all of your browsers, directing you to use Bing, and redirecting broken links to Conduit search. It takes longer to remove all the pieces and parts than it does to install it. NEXT! Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros. None I can think of. Cons. The whole thing, PLUS it inflicts surveillance crapware onto your Mac.
That's evil. Summary. UNINSTALLED! If you too uninstall this crapware (via the kindly provided Uninstaller), be sure to do a Spotlight search in BOTH your /Library/ folder AND your ~/Library/ folder for leftovers.
I found a SLEW of Div. X . plist files polluting my library folders, including one nasty file still residing in one of the Launch folders, which is an evil thing to do. Dump Them All! Oh and talking about evil: While the uninstaller is running, it attempts to phone home to the Div.
X site to look for updates. Can you imagine? It wants to UPDATE your installation as you are uninstalling it. WHY did I uninstall the Div. X crapware? Because this recent 'Conduit' infliction garbage during installation is The Last Straw.
I've had enough. I don't ever run into Div. X video on the Internet any more. I don't care about Div. X video any more.
May Div. X rot and die. I think we already have more than enough effective video formats without having to bother with this unimportant format family. However, I am keeping a copy of the current installer around for just- in- case. But I highly suspect I'll never need it and will have forgotten why I ever bothered to keep it.
Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros. At least the Div. X folks keep busy improving their software.
This time there are new versions of Converter and Player. The Quick. Time components are the same as v.
Cons. Everything. Is that a fair assessment? I don't know. But I don't see the point of bothering with this Div. X stuff except to be able to play Div.
X media, if you ever run into it, which is rare, via the provided Quick. Time components. Summary. Hurray. No more, forced install unless you stop it, Google Chrome with the installation. That's an improvement. No default user surveillance by Google is required). I dug around inside the installer package for v. Read. Me. Inexplicably, it directs the reader to a worthless URL for .
What is it with these strange Div. X people?! Here is what little the Read. Me provides about what's 'new' in version 9. It sounds more like a marketing script to me: ~~~~~~~~~~~~Div.

CNET does not recognize. My guess is that CNET has hobbled itself to only deal with ASCII characters. Some may wish to keep the Div.
X Decoder Quick. Time component in case they run into Div. X video files. Cons. The player app is lame.
The Preference Pane is still 3. Bit. The Installer only lists that it is installing Div.
X files. And yet it force installs Google Chrome without asking permission. This is of course unscrupulous and unacceptable. Summary*This review is for version 8 (not 7. Div. X installation*I no longer recommend installing Div. X and its associated files. I won't miss it. I have uninstalled all of Div. X due to the aftermath of installing version 8.
I found that: 1) Google Chrome had been installed onto my Mac without any listing in the Div. X Read. Me, without any warning and without my permission. I was forced to uninstall Google Chrome, which I refuse to use due to its user surveillance. Instead I use one of the open source Chromium alternatives that have no surveillance. The Div. X Preference Pane remains 3.
Bit, resulting in the user having to restart System Preferences in 3. Bit mode. At this point in time that is annoying, archaic and demonstrates lazy programming. I never liked the Div. X Player in any case, never used it, and won't miss it. I also rarely run into Div. X video any longer. I see no advantage in the format and no longer care about it, especially after discovering the aftermath items listed above.
It might be useful to hang onto the Div. X Decoder Quick. Time component if you are concerned that you may run into Div. X video files in the future. I have kept it in my /Library/Quick. Time/ folder. Don't bother with the Div. X Encoder component. Otherwise, good riddance Div.
X. I don't deal with customer disrespect and abuse. Reply to this review. Read reply (1)Was this review helpful?(2) (0) Reply by zunipus on January 2.
And oh yeah: Version 8 still only offers the version 6 Quick. Time components. You have to cmd- Q out of your web browser and start over.
Most irritating browser plugin ever. Summary. Avoid. If you get a pop- up asking you to upgrade to the latest version it's already too late - that popup window won't ever close (whether you upgrade or not). Seriously pathetic software.

Div. X - Free download and software reviews. Pros. Divx compression works well, it's fast and flexible but DON'T EVER UPGRADE TO A NEW VERSION. Cons. The Installer pretty much tricks you into installing malware, adware type programs etc.. Read each page carefully before you click next & carefully unselect items. Having paid previously for an upgraded version I now find that I'm expected to pay again for a new version which I was pretty much forced to upgrading to and lost previous functionality. One update works then the next fails again then you find the next update takes you to a different version of the software which you have to pay for again. Not fluently all the time.
Converter and player not closing down easily. Cons. I paid for a license in 2. Mpeg. 2 player, 2. Video Pack also for the Dolby. THX license. 1. 7,9. Video pack and Dolby THX, software that I already paid for.
Summary. I'll keep the softwause I've paid for it. I'm using it sometimes. I've been ripped off already and Div. X doesn't give refunds. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(1) (0) Pros.
No error(s) or problem(s) during the install. Cons. When you buy a Div. X movie from a website, you need the Div. X Player to download this movie. After I downloaded this way 6 movies and burned these with the Div. X Player or Img. Burn, all movies suddenly stopped playing more than one time when played on my Blu- ray Player and this Blu- ray Player has no problems with Blu- ray Discs.
They simply revert to the start menu. Finally I unstalled the Div. X Player and the uninstaller said the uninstall was successfully, but nothing was uninstalled. Summary. Do not waste your precious time and money on this one! Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros.
You can play Div. X video, a very common and unique format with good compression.
Cons. Converter is pricey - why? Plenty of good free software that do the same like SUPER. Player sometimes distorts video or plays it upside down, but it is getting better with each update. MPC- HC is still better for AVI files IMO.
The Web Player never seems to play anything - VLC Player plays it instead and when i disable that no Div. X Web Player. The pay program is cheaper than Real player and has a much better audio with more options. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros.
The program itself is decent. Cons. VIRUSES, VIRUSES, and MORE VIRUSESCan't opt out and bundled in every update. Will hijack every browser there is, install spyware, and create 1. Seriously bad. This download NEEDS to be removed from this site. Summary. Good program, loaded with more spyware than any other major program I have literally ever seen.
Free Smily . exe tier. Some of the malware that it installs could potentially hijack your computer and get you sent to jail.
IT IS THAT BAD!!!!!!!!!! Reply to this review.
