Despite the name, the software can play a wide range of media files, not only the DivX format. The solution would be using a video player that has native support for DivX files.

The Windows operating system lacks support for playing DivX video files without a third party codec. A smaller size means hours of video footage stored on a regular DVD at a high quality. DivX files are much lower in size than regular AVI files or DVD files, while their quality stays pretty much the same. Moreover, numerous media devices are supporting this format and more such devices are launched everyday. However, you do still have to pay for it after the 15-day trial period has expired, meaning you’ll soon be looking for other converters to use such as BPS Video Converter or VSO ConvertXtoDVD.Nowadays, the DivX video format has become extremely popular and more and more people are using this format to play any type of video. It used to be painfully slow and could take hours to complete conversion of just one film. There’s little to criticize in DivX Software for Windows and the converter has been significantly improved in terms of speed. Included in the free download of DivX Software for Windows are also free trials of a MPEG-2/DVD Plug-in, which adds support to DivX Converter for multiple MPEG-2 video formats, and DFX Audio Plug-in and an audio plug-in that improves the quality of your video’s soundtracks. if you check “enable DivX HEVC Plug-in” during installation you can watch the impressive quality of HEVC videos although it's still a very minor format. In addition, a DivX HEVC Plug-in is included free with DivX Software which lets you play and convert DivX HEVC video up to 4K. If you want to create your own DivX content, the DivX Plus Converter allows the creation of video resolutions up to and including 1920 x 1080 High Definition in either interlaced or progressive-scan. It includes a download manager that allows you to download several videos at once, and also a tool to transfer your videos to other devices such as a DVD player, a Blu-ray player and and a PS3. DivX Software for Windows also supports advanced DVD features such as scene selection menus, subtitles and alternate audio tracks.
