I used DiVX like 2 weeks ago and it was fine for playing .avi files but now when I start DiVX it gives me a dialog box saying that it is outdated and needs a new one. But the one on the website is the exact same version. Anyone else have this problem and what can I do to play .avi files? Thanks!! Oh, I also have QT 4 Pro.

I have the same DivX is expired message. I'm using OS X and it's still the same problem. I guess those guys put in an expiration date and forgot about it when they decided not to update it any further.

DivX Player 1.0b10 is out now.

Actually what happened is the lead developer got stuck in between OS9 and OSX and could finish the b10 release on time

b10 is much better

no problems here. I'm just using it so that I can convert them to something that I know will be supported - MPEG or Sorenson. Support for it is already being dropped for things like OpenDivX and 3ivX.
