With DivX 10.2, Codec Pack was removed from the DivX Software bundle. For those of you who used the DivX codec in third party software to play or create your DivX files, here’s an explanation of why we did this and what this means for you.
DivX Plus HD is a marketing name for a file type using the standard Matroska media container format (.mkv), rather than the proprietary DivX Media Format. DivX Plus HD files contain an H.264 video bitstream, AAC surround sound audio, and a number of XML-based attachments defining chapters, subtitles and meta data. This media container format is used for the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec. If the codecs (i.e. Xvid, DivX, mpeg-4, wmv8.) used to create the original AVI files are not proprietary and you don't want to install many of different codec packages on your computer, then the easiest way to get.avi format playable in QuickTime on Mac platform is convert AVI file into a format that's QuickTime accepts—MOV for example, with video conversion utility. DivX is a media container for compliant MPEG-4 Part 2 videos and is an extension of the AVI video format. The latest version of DivX codecs is the DivX 8.x. However, the development of the DivX 9.x is already underway. The DivX codecs are compatible with both Windows and Mac computers. The DivX Plus HD format is also the same as the MKV file. You are missing an audio codec or the audio is a format that is not supported. To check which audio codec your file is encoded with, see No audio or audio is distorted with DivX movie playback on a Mac for reference. Note: If your file is encoded with MPEG2 or AC3, see Missing Audio Codec for Mac. To install the XviD codec, simply download the latest version of the codec available for your system and follow the installation instructions: XviD codec v1.3.5 for Windows (11.3MB) XviD codec v1.3.5 for Mac.
Why did we do this?
Divx Player Download
We want to simplify what we distribute and how, so that only the filters used by DivX Player and Web Player, DivX Converter and DivX Media Server applications will be installed. This ensures that you get exactly what they need for your unique use of DivX software, and also reduces the DivX bundle size and install footprint.

What this means for you:
When it comes to the DivX software—Player, Web Player, Converter, Media Server—you won’t see any change. You’ll still be able to play, create, and stream all the same videos just as before. If you had previously installed DivX Codec pack, it will remain on your system even after updating to DivX 10.2.
We want to focus on improving and updating our tools so that you always have the best experience possible with DivX products and the DivX format.
