DivX Player Beta 2 is available

by Dave Caolo Mar 16th 2006 at 9:00AM

DivX Player is a media player for the Mac, and Beta 2 features a slew of changes, including:

  • A new decode-only DivX codec which is a Universal Binary
  • The ability to drag-n-drop your movies onto the player icon (yay!)
  • An option to dim the player window along with the Desktop Dimmer (oooh...)
  • New keyboard shortcuts
  • Squashed bugs galore
The new DivX Player is a beta, so keep that in mind, m'kay? It requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later and is free. Now go get it.

The thing is, this will give you divx support in Quicktime player.
So you will be able to play all those downloaded divx files in Front Row.

I think it's great that people are willing to spent time making things like this, but I gotta ask - why?

There's already VLC and Mplayer for Mac. They both have more codecs than you can shake a stick at. And VLC is very stable.
