Free DivX Pro license if you act quickly
The fine folks over at Macenstein spotted this special deal: a free license for the Mac version of DivX Pro, if you send in your email address today -- a $20 value. I can't see the end-of-offer indication on the site, but I'll take their word for it.With the Pro version you get the free player (naturally), plus DivX Converter for batch encoding and the DivX Pro codec for export from QuickTime Pro-aware applications. Based on the theory that you can never be too rich, too thin or have too many video compression applications, it's worth checking out.
Thanks Jonathan & Nik!

I have sent two requests with two different email addresses and neither one of them have received the serial number. Oh well, that is why I use XVID anyway

I did it with 6 different email addresses from 3 different computers and got the same S/N on each one :)

I just submitted and had my S/N before the download finished.
@G - check your spam folder to make sure the S/N didn't get caught there - keyword filtering on "DivX" and "Serial" will probably trip more than a few spam filters.

They could be doing what the original makers of "flip 4 mac" did and offer the program free for a short time before their buyers of the program takes over their script and sells it. They might have been bought out and as a sign of love towards us as consumers, they are doing something really nice.
Thanks DivX.

They do this quite often. They did it a while back for three days only. I don't know what prompts it, but this is the third time it's come around.
Also, you can copy/paste and replace the "mac" with "pc" at the end of the url and get a serial number for the Windows version too, for those using Boot Camp. :)

I've tried with two e-mail addresses and got my code right away, but the download link just hangs. One time I got it to download about 20% but then it stopped.
