Get DivX Pro for free

by Brad Linder Dec 11th 2007

DivX is giving away copies of the DivX Pro 6 bundle again. Normally this package will cost you $20, but for the second time this year, DivX is offering up the Pro bundle at the low low price of nothing.

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.

While it's not clear how long the free download will be available, it's billed as a limited time "holiday offer." So we're going to go out on a limb and say that you'll probably want to register your software before Christmas unless you've got $20 burning a hole in your pocket.

I still have not received a serial number / confirmation email after 2 hours I installed the program (which I provided the email address at the time of installation).

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.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
