Edit: The holiday is over, and the free stuff has ended for this time. But the free version is still a keeper!
We all love free stuff. Especially when it is something we otherwise would have to pay for. The fine people behind Divx has decided to give out a gift this holiday season. It is unsure how long it will run, so hurry over there and get your copy of a totally free Divx Pro.
What does this give you over the free version of Divx? Here is their own explanation:
So, the primary reason to buy DivX Pro for Windows is to get full
versions of the DivX Converter and the DivX Pro Codec, two things that
let you easily create DivX videos. What are these two things, you ask,
and why should you care? Read on, kind friend, read on…
DivX Converter
The DivX Converter is the official DivX video creation software application. It lets you:
- Drag-and-drop nearly any video format to create a high-quality, highly compressed DivX video
- Merge and convert multiple videos into a single DivX file with an automatically generated menu
- Back
up your home-made DVDs, compress a full movie to fit onto one regular
CD (requires the optional $4.99 DivX Converter MPEG-2/DVD Plug-in)
DivX Pro Codec
The DivX Pro Codec is the top of the food chain, codec-wise. It
includes the most advanced version of the DivX video encoder so you can
create the highest-quality DivX files in combination with DivX
Converter or another third-party encoding application. DivX Pro gives
you:
- Higher performance, including multi-threaded support
for better performance on all HyperThreaded, dual core and dual CPU
(SMP) systems - More encoding options, including six
carefully optimized encoding modes that balance visual quality and
performance for virtually any application
What are you waiting for?
