About DivX Software
DivX Software bundles a video player, a converter and a media server from the company behind the DivX codec. The player handles DivX, AVI, MKV, HEVC and other common formats up to 4K, and the converter turns files into formats suited to phones, TVs and other devices. The free version covers playback and basic conversion but shows ads and offers trial features; DivX Pro, a one-time purchase, removes ads and adds extras such as more conversion formats, cloud uploads and enhanced audio. It runs on Windows and macOS. It suits people who still have collections encoded in DivX or want a simple combined player and converter, though most users will find open-source players lighter and less pushy about upgrades.
Best for: People with older DivX collections who want a player and converter in one.
