Get DivX Pro for free
The package includes the DivX Pro codec, the DivX file converter, content upload, video player and web player. The free download comes in Mac and Windows flavors. You'll need to enter your email address to get a free registration code.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

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.
