I don't know if someone posted this before, but I have finally found a way to become independent of DivX. It turns out that if the DivX player is opened, you can play some DivX files from Quicktime. If that's the case, you can use QT Pro's export feature and export it as a QT file.
If QT doesn't play the file, you can use the DivX Player Disk Doctor option to turn it into a DivX dependent "mov" file. Now using the same method as above, you can play the file through Quicktime and export the sucker. That means you don't have to keep using the DivX player when you're in OS X!
I haven't tried exporting in OS X since my QT pro key works only up to QT 4, but it works fine in OS 9.

DivX isn't a bad codec. It's just that microsucks ripped off the MPEG-4 work in progress, confusingly names it "MPEG4", and made a crappy player for it.

DivX is a rip off of a rip off then. They took "microsucks" codecs and reverse engineered them. I personally can't wait until MPEG releases
the final version of MPEG4. It would be nice to have a great universal video codec that works on all major media players. Imagine making
editing and compressing a Quicktime video. Your Linux friends could watch that same video on RealPlayer. Friends with Windows? no problem just pop it in to MediaPlayer and your good to go. This is one of the main reasons why MP3's caught on like a wild fire.
