This is great! I've been with DivX almost since the beginning, and after an eight year hiatus "away" from any comps, this is a nice "Welcome Back" Christmas gift. Thanx!

Divx is a format that has failed but some still embrace it. It was intended initially for movie rental but this is where it failed miserably. It does use MPEG4 compression so if you need to compress video to be viewed on lets say an iPod it works pretty well at doing so. There are plenty of other tools to do the same thing so unless you are someone who has tons of Divx CD's or DVD's laying around or you get a Divx formatted disc from someone or from the internet then this would be good to have, otherwise I wouldn't waste my time with it.
im just quoting lol xD!!!!!!!!

Ahh! Got the email!
This is great. Assuming it activates okay, thanks a bunch to the DivX folks for this. I'm not a huge user of the format and so never purchased since I've mostly just used it to view a video here and there. Back when VCD was a popular format for converting video to I sometimes made DivX instead. Now that it's pretty easy to make dvd+r video dvd's I mostly do that. I don't have a DivX compatible home dvd player, so that's one good reason I do that. But it's nice that this is available, and for content I don't believe I'd ever use except for on the computer I think DivX is a great alternative still.
As far as another email address, you know I've never had more than a single address that was whatever my current ISP provided. I tend not to sign up indiscriminately to web stuff, sticking to sites I believe are viable. I've always kept spam to a minimum and never saw the need to have an alternative address.

Yes, I know what you mean about multiple email accounts. I was the same way just using my RR.com account with MailWasher to help with Spam and all that, then I decided to try Google Mail. I have been nothing but happy with it, rarely any spam, just the stuff I am signed up to receive, or my friends, both of them, plus the ability to store files on Google via FireFox. I don't even use MailWasher anymore, I did download the latest update though since I did go ahead and pay for the pro version a few years ago. Anyway, I better mention something about DivX to keep this on course. That was it.

You guys should get the code instantly after you install the bundle. You have to open divx converter to put the code in.

Uh, there are/were two DIVX... the DIVX format for rentals-on-CD that failed is different than the codec DivX. They (the codec people) just used the name to make fun of the failed CD format... other than that, they have nothing in common. The DivX codec is pretty popular for compressing/sharing movies... check out DivX on wikipedia.org if you want the whole story. DivX/Xvid/H.264 make up most of my digital library, so having this free version of the drag-and-drop converter is handy.

I did not get a serial no.I was not asked to send e-mail
I use the link from After Dawn, every thing went smoothly.
I was told I was successful.
I can open everything but no further, I am presented with
a dialogue box asking for serial number.
I now went to see what every one was saying,
and found out I needed a serial no.
Could someone give me some advise, on how
I can get this serial number? or do I have to
uninstall this and start over again?
Perhaps After Dawn, should again give us
the link, Then everyone will be at the same page.

I downloaded & installed it. Got the serial number y email & registered it without peoblems.
However I wonder is what is free about it! After 15 days if I wish to convert a vob or mpeg file to divx I am required to buy mpeg plugin for US$ 20/=.
So what else can I use it with for FREE !!!!
