DivX Player

The DivX player is specifically designed to work with DivX, DivX Advanced, and DivX Ultra video files. It allows for burning of DivX media for certified players, including the new rental Divx by download for registered players (built in profiles) using windows ASPI or Goldenhawk disk access. The player will work with most video formats with few exceptions. Advanced and Ultra features give access to subtitles and multiple audio tracks as well as multiple movies and chapter points (much like a normal DVD).

I was leery about DivX and how they were doing their codecs / players and tools, but I have changed that opinion with this player. While not having a lot of the fancy features I'm used to the player works very well and even plays Windows Media files better than WMP 11. I never get stutters, or sync issues with this player and it is a tossup which I like better now; WinAmp, MP Classic, or DivX.

I absolutely hate this player. It's a RAM hog, doesn't have any useful features, and I don't like it's organizer. And now that Stage6 is shutting down, I'm officially screwing DivX.
