I really don't do any of that but still nice findaimless wrote:
I think the pro version has more codec exporting options, for you video editors out there.
Meh, no thanks. I don't even use Divx.
I use PowerDVD to play movies but it needs some of the divX codec's for some file types. I found this when i reinstalled windows, when i put divX back on it automatically asked if i wanted pro for free. So, hells yah. I dont see any difference either, but i dont do any video editing.
Good find, handy post.

Divx is a codec, a Compression/Decompression algorithm like MPG or WMV. Divx started as a hack to Microsoft's H.263 Mpeg-4 codec. Since it was freely available and far superior to the MS one it caught on like wild fire.
In recent years though Xvid, an open source MPEG-4 variant, has been the mainstay. Today your best bet for quality and compression ratio is x264 which is free, 100% open source and is an Mpeg-4 (h.264) AVC codec. Much better than Divx but it is REALLY slow. That is common though, encoding video with newer codecs requires a long time. It is a common phrase to say "long encode for short decode" meaning that by taking the time to properly encode the video will allow a much quicker, or realtime, decode. This is principal of DVD and HD as well.
Still, getting Divx for free is never a bad thing.
