Heads-up: DivX for Mac

By rom

If you are fond of viewing movies and TV shows in DivX format, this is definitely good news. Although I use VLC to view DivX files but I want to be able to view DivX files on my QuickTime Pro player as well. I used to be able to do this when with the DivX QT plug-in from Roxio’s Toast but since it is in PowerPC format, the plug-in does not work on my MacBook Pro without making QT Pro run on Rosetta.

Anyway, DivX for Mac comes with the QT plug-in which works perfectly well. I have not tried encoding yet since Toast supports DivX encoding “natively” — not enough incentive for me to buy the US$20 Pro version.
