DivX 7, the latest version of the popular video format, is out. DivX 7 includes support HD H.264 videos in the MKV file format. It also supports AAC audio.

The company has also created a new DivX Plus certification program, which means that hardware products like DVD players and other set top boxes or portable media players that bear the DivX Plus label will be able to handle DivX 7 playback.

If all you want is the DivX codec which allows you to watch videos, you can download the latest version for free. The $20 DivX 7 Pro pack also includes tools for encoding DivX movies.
