"You serial number has expired." - Player0ne, on 12/13/2007, -7/+117Go Here http://www.divx.com/dff/index.php
- illflip, on 12/13/2007, -3/+85use a temp email and decline the bloatware. not that hard.
- reversekilled, on 12/13/2007, -31/+111You'll put me on your mailing list and install spyware on my computer? And it's free you say? Sign me up!
- Genma, on 12/13/2007, -6/+85why use divx when you could use xvid
- MonsterChaOS, on 12/13/2007, -4/+81I submitted this days ago....and without the blog spam!
- sgtpppr, on 12/13/2007, -0/+61It takes a perfect alignment of the entire cosmos to get a post on the front page unless you are one of a few digg power users. If someone like MrBabyMan posted a link to a blank page, it'd be on the front page in less than 30 minutes. I posted an article some time back that got like 3 diggs. A week later, one of the power users posted the exact same article from the same site and it was on the front page that afternoon with hundreds of diggs. Go figure.
- yodasama, on 12/13/2007, -1/+53dugg for ascii ackbar.
- OrGoN3, on 12/13/2007, -0/+41FYI, around every 6 months to a year DivX has this offer (for free).
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -1/+41If only you had the right digg friends they would spam your garbage to the front page too. Maybe even for free.
- sHockz, on 12/13/2007, -0/+38this is for the pro version...the one that doesnt install that crap. that is why this is on the front page
- TheRemoteViewer, on 12/13/2007, -1/+37Xvid is free 365 days a year.
- cbdgr, on 12/13/2007, -1/+36I smell an update coming soon
- schnikies79, on 12/13/2007, -3/+34Because my $40 dvd player can play divx?
- dungbeetle, on 12/13/2007, -0/+26Our computers can't repel scams of this magnitude!
- TerraIncognito, on 12/13/2007, -5/+29it doesn't install spyware
- digitalvik, on 12/13/2007, -6/+26Useful Software! And when free, even better! ;-)
- TheShad0w, on 12/13/2007, -6/+24Thanks but I think I will stick to XviD
- KSUdesigner, on 12/13/2007, -0/+17http://10minutemail.com
- sg7791, on 12/13/2007, -0/+16Top right, click mac.
- PolkinhajIsGod, on 12/13/2007, -2/+18I did this exact same thing last time the promotion came around. Divx is pretty honest with their stuff, I haven't received any spam, and the converter works fine for encoding stuff to put on stage6.com, which is leaps and bounds better than youtube. At least until viacom decides to start cracking down. I know I sound like a fanboy/spammer, but seriously, divx has gotten so much better in the past year or so.
- stephenwq, on 12/13/2007, -0/+16FYI the key is the same for everyone: A3NI9M7P47B325A52C26
http://www.google.com/search?q=A3NI9M7P47B325A52C2 ... - Breepee, on 12/13/2007, -2/+16Funny (really !), but wrong. Divx is more like the hand and Xvid the real thing. And x264 is like a harem: even better than the real thing.
- cryonix, on 12/14/2007, -0/+14366 on leap years!
- Takteek, on 12/14/2007, -0/+14Sounds like a system that needs some adjustments. *COUGH*
- fani, on 12/13/2007, -0/+13I got it for free during last years similar divx giveaway for a day. I then bought the $9.99 mpeg2 plugin.
Then I discovered SUPER which does all this for free. Bummer.
Quality wise, divx converter is same as SUPER, although faster for encoding. I think that may justify the price for some. - swordedge, on 12/13/2007, -3/+16unless you forget to say no to the yahoo toolbar
- plizard, on 12/13/2007, -0/+13heh your mail client doesn't have a spam filter or you don't have a separate email address for internet related stuff?
- jhuebel, on 12/13/2007, -2/+15It may look like crap, but I love my little Phillips DVD player. Best $30 I ever spent.
- HypocriteDigg, on 12/13/2007, -3/+15I'll stick with h.264
- roguepuppy, on 12/13/2007, -2/+14Never speak of Usnet.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -1/+13Who is digging this ***** up? The internet is full of DivX/XviD files. The vast majority of scene groups encode their works in XviD.
- bacon_skoda, on 12/14/2007, -0/+11"I submitted this days ago....and without the blog spam!"
there's your problem right there. it was too early.
you HAVE to copy someone else's submit...THEN stuff it inside some blog spam.
or else no one will read it.
Digg Truth! - PhinnFort, on 12/13/2007, -10/+21almost x2. But I'll rather use h264 (or, more specifically x264). I can't believe people still use DivX. Why?
- mooninite, on 12/13/2007, -10/+20Thanks but I think I'll stick to Matroska for my container, Ogg Theora and h.264 HQ for video, and AC3 for audio. DivX is far too proprietary and is going out of style.
- inactive, on 12/13/2007, -1/+11once again digg has saved me money.
- inactive, on 12/14/2007, -0/+10Our computers can't repel fanboys of this magnitude! *buried*
- spiralspirit, on 12/13/2007, -0/+9the free part comes from a emailed serial - the installer just has a form to send the address to their servers
- subigo, on 12/13/2007, -2/+11They will make more money off of people installing that stupid Yahoo Toolbar than they ever did from people paying for the software.
- inactive, on 12/14/2007, -0/+9http://mailinator.com
- RoboDonut, on 12/14/2007, -0/+9You are unnecessarily offended and cannot spell.
- Hickeroar, on 12/13/2007, -0/+8doh
- DjShiznit, on 12/13/2007, -2/+10This offer DOES apply for Macs. http://www.divx.com/dff/index.php?version=mac
- admdrew, on 12/14/2007, -0/+8Uh, no. They've always charged for it on February 29th.
- OneMoreDigger, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7come on man look at the page it's right up top there
http://www.divx.com/dff/index.php?version=mac - inactive, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7I love Divx, a much better alternative to Windows Media Player that Vista comes packaged with.
- bacon_skoda, on 12/14/2007, -1/+8super.
- norman619, on 12/13/2007, -4/+11Too bad it's not well used in people's home computers. :-)
- Hoodwinker, on 12/14/2007, -0/+7http://www.dodgeit.com
- bjornski, on 12/13/2007, -0/+7Only people who rush though and push buttons before reading what they're installing.
It's a checkbox. Uncheck it, and the toolbar won't be installed. It's not difficult.
I would like to think that anyone actually able to make use of this program would be smart enough to read the installers when they install their software. -
