Thanks to Tygrrz for emailing in

DivX has just been updated to 5.0.5.

Fixed:

A bug that would cause the codec to encode every frame as an I-Frame when used with certain applications (e.g., AVIUtil, DVD2AVI, and some video capture applications).

Download: Divx Pro 5.0.5 free (adware)
Download: Divx 5.0.5
News source: Divx.com


0.6:
- bumped component version, pre-0.6 components no longer load
- fixed time-display-on-seek-while-paused
- added new statusbar options
- improved speed of database operations
- redesigned database, default config no longer permanently stores info, you need to configure it to get albumlist stuff to work
- added new DSP helper classes in SDK
- added reset button on titleformatting page, resets only one of strings
- improved diskwriter & replaygain, they no longer block main window
- added $rgb(), $progress2(), $transition()
- added new playlist format (.fpl)
- fixed rare crash with querying for currently selected file
- added configurable file info reading logic
- "restrict added files" now affects more actions
- ported dithering routines from SSRC with tweaked parameters; dithered output is no longer bit-identical to source lossless format
- added one-time reminder in foo_out_ks
- added file type recognition based on mime
- switched internal data format from 32bit floatingpoint to 64bit floatingpoint
- VBR extrainfo on MP3 files is back, more reliable now
- changed API for archiver support, now much nicer to work with, shared code handles boring tasks such as file path parsing
- added user profile support
- new mp3 seeking code, slower but sample-exact
- added full file buffering option
- increased size of preferences window
- positions of playlist search and file info box are now remembered if "remember window position" is enabled
- added "sort only selection" in playlist
- moved diskwriter to a separate dll
- added command to reset total playback time counter
- following Xiph's recommendations, Ogg files containing garbage at the beginning no longer play
- vorbis streaming should now update title on track change
- updated Vorbis decoder to latest CVS
- various config options now use dropdown lists
- reverted to old "remove duplicates" code, faster with big playlists
- made infobox font configurable
- %_ispaused%, $rand()
- added startup console messages about dlls that failed to load
- metadb_handle technology ?
- reduced playlist memory usage (uses metadb_handle instead of storing file paths)
- improved speed of various playlist-related operations
- added VOC input, thanks to kode54
- more resampler options (older machines dont like new 64bit resampling)
- foo_dsp_extra now compiled with ICL7.1 (meh, it doesn't make any difference on my new XP2200+)
- fixed some problems with cue input
- more %__codec% fields with various formats
- user-friendly KS output device names, thanks to kode54

i use kazaalite codec or nimo codec and i can play all of divx movies, so whats the use of using this?
#12.1 norky on 25 Apr 2003 - 11:05
encoding video
#12.2 Darkness2k on 25 Apr 2003 - 11:28
As far as I know, the Kazaalite and Nimo "codecs" (as you called them), are just packs of various codecs stuck together in an installation package. If you wanted the latest version of DivX it may not be in the Kazaalite Codec set yet, so instead of waiting for the KazaaLite Codec pack to get updated to this DivX release, you can download and install it yourself.

[neoquote=#14.0 by nifu]how do i get a key for the pro version?[/neoquote] If you need to ask, then you should be paying for it--hell it's only 20 bucks now.

It sucks that they do not release the codecs anymore.
