DivX Troubleshooting ReportInstaller may cause kernel panic - Version: 7.2, 11/17/2009 06:10PM PST

The last part of the installation executes an AppleScript designed to tell Safari to refresh its plugin list. Unfortunately to do this the folks at DivX decided to go through the process list. This is an unsafe operation, particularly when you have many programs running. On my machine it paniced the kernel. I highly recommend either doing a manual install using Pacifist or only installing with no programs running.

The problematic AppleScript is this:

tell application "System Events"
set myList to (name of every process)
end tell

DivX ReviewWhat planet are the developers on? - Version: 7.1, 11/3/2009 10:54AM PST

(1 of 5 users found this comment useful)

Any developer that releases a new product that only works on Intel computers is really not wise. There are no earlier versions available that work on Apple's PPC computers, so that means the developers have made a conscious choice to profusely upset literally thousands of users. What planet are they on, and is it even in the same galaxy? In short, Intel users are fine, but PPC users can forget this product ever existed given that the developers have forgotten that you exist! I have been inundated with calls from upset Mac users that have wasted hours and hours trying to get this pile of nonsense to work. I have told them all what to do, it sounds like this, 'don't bother wasting your time with this amateur product or its incredibly thoughtless and careless developers'.

DivX CommentaryWhy no version number? - Version: 7.1, 9/22/2009 01:40AM PST

Why is it not possible to see which version is installed within the System Prefs pane? This is an imbecilic omission - how is one expected to know which version is installed and whether or not it is necessary to update a system without this? And it must be the most trivial of things to do - obviously the software knows which version it is, so writing some code to display this within the pref pane is a tiny amount of work. Come on, guys, have some simple common sense!

DivX CommentaryNot registering as latest version - Version: 7.0.1, 9/12/2009 08:11AM PST

calibre97
I cannot seem to remove DivX Player from upgradable. I show for My Version, 7.0.1 (build 1_0_1_8)(1.0) with a current version of 7.0.1. I just installed the very version available from "Download". About DivX Player shows "7.0.1" (where before I had 7.0.0 Alpha). I installed 7.0 on Snow Leopard as a freshly purchased version 7.

Why doesn't Version Tracker register this as the latest version?

It really says a lot about a "developer" that doesn't offer an easy uninstall app or uninstall instructions on their site. I check their forum and no clear answer was offered... got a "why do you want to uninstall it" answer instead. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

DivX CommentaryA suggestion/tip for Intel users - Version: 7.0, 4/21/2009 05:11AM PST

(2 of 10 users found this comment useful)

Don't spend money on software which can't be developed for PowerPC at this age. Especially of this nature.

Things will change when Snow Leopard is out and we will see "snow leopard only", "intel 64 bit only" software, it is a fact of technical nature but for today, there is no reason rather than incompetence and not knowing the mac scene to release a codec/player Intel only. There is nothing that forces you to release Intel only software even if you make the application Leopard-only.

Of course, if you are in such bad shape and can't even hire couple of PPC capable developers...

DivX Usage TipOnly the DivX 7 player app needs Intell CPU. - Version: 7.0, 4/20/2009 04:17PM PST

(7 of 7 users found this comment useful)

realdiamond
If you read the DivX infomation on the site, Youll notice they DID NOT include any H264 or MKV encoder updates with the Mac version of DivX 7.

Strange WE Mac users have done that for years but in MPEGs MP4 container. Not a big Deal.

DivX 7.0 Converter is version 1.3 is still PPC CPU useable.
DivX 7.0 Encoder component 6.8 is still PPC CPU useable. (Some nice new options)
DivX 7.0 Decoder component is still PPC CPU useable.
DivX 7.0 Web plugin is 1.4.1.4 is still PPC CPU useable.

Only the player requires Intell chip CPU but then you can use Quicktime 7 (as they give you a Quicktime component as ^above ^ and Perian plugin to play MKV any way if you must.

If you Need to make DivX for a stand alone player then this will still work for PPC users You just can ether wait till (IF) they fix the PPC bugs or Extract the components from the installer and add them manualy to your PPC system.
