Get DivX Pro for free

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts.

I wonder how long it would take to receive the email.

What would I use this for? Can it do stuff that, say, Super(C) cannot?

I gave up on DivX Pro a long time ago...now I use the open-source MediaCoder to convert everything to XviD format, without dealing with DivX's quirks. http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/

After installing this version the webplayer keeps on telling me there is a new updated version. Even if I install that one, the annoying popup appears again.
I can't disable the check, I've set it to check only once a month to make it go away for now.
Also, the DivX Converter MPEG-2/DVD Plug-in is not included in the free offer.

Meh, the open source alternatives (FFDshow, etc.) get the same job done, same quality (as far as I can tell), more options, less annoying. Pass.
