Web site back up - Version: 5.0.2, 10/21/2009 03:06AM PST

The 3ivx Web site is now back in its entirety, with store and support now visible. Keys can once again be downloaded. But don't expect an apology, or an explanation of what went wrong.....
Abandonware...? - Version: 5.0.2, 9/24/2009 04:23AM PST

First the 3ivx Web site went away altogether, then it came back minus the store and forums. This means if you bought the product (as I did) it's now impossible to access your account and download the key which is essential to re-installing on a new or reformatted computer.
Avoid like the plague.

Doesn't work, and when you think you uninstalled it, it stays stuck in your Library - Quicktime folder and will be used when you for example import an avi file into iMovie.
Which will result in that AVI file suddenly having this big ugly horrible "3iVX demo expired logo" over it (and I mean ALL over it!), and you wasted 2 hours importing a movie that before you installed and removed 3ivx would import just fine without the damned logo over it.
Stay away!

The worst! Sure, it plays your files for a few days (if you can put up with the disgusting WMV style compression artifacts, blocky-blurry like really messed up JPG compression), and then every file is watermarked EXPIRED.
To REMOVE 3iVX from your system is non-intuitive. Searching for, and removing the found files doesn't remove 3iVX, you have to follow this procedure;
1. Open HD
2. Open LIBRARY folder
3. Locate QuickTime folder and open
4. Locate and remove the following;
3ivxMediaExporter.component
3ivxVideoCodec.component
5. Drop them right in the trash, empty it, and never, ever admit to any of your friends that you were stupid enough to install it in the first place.
6. Find, download and install PERIAN, it's free and 1,000,000 x better.
Do a little googling about "3ivx problems" and be enlightened. They're just out to make a quick buck and will probably disappear in the near future. They don't even do a modicum of maintenance on their own websites.

stay away!!!!
on intel-macs all your 3ivx encoded films wont play! I have not found any possibility to convert them to any format, that works on intel native!
(you can view the fims, if you tell quicktime to run under "rosetta" or use vlc, but cannot convert them. so sooner or later they will be non-playabel)

Used 3ivx with DivX Doctor II and was able to very quickly "fix" an AVI (turning it into a Mov file).
The resulting file plays now on my G3 (450mhz) iMac when the AVI was jerky and unwatchable.
If you have a slower, older G3 Mac, you MUST get this and DivX Doctor.
I have OS X 10.4.8 and have had no problem with the codec at all.

May have an issue with iTunes... - Version: 4.5.1, 11/11/2006 05:58PM PST

Ever since I downloaded and installed 3ivx DV, I had problems in itunes with certain videos not playing back smoothly. The frames per second was down to 1 or 2.
In my case the guilty component was "3ivx D4 4.5.1 for OSX" . After removing it from Library/Quicktime/ folder, I quit iTunes and then launched it again. Back to normal fast playback.
Install this software if you need DivX and/or XVid support, but be sure to double check and see if any of your iTunes videos or video podcasts (rocketboom was one of mine that wouldn't play back) play smoothly.
Strangely, if I took the same video and opened it with Quicktime, it would play smoothly. This was just an iTunes issue for me.

I recently acquired a copy of Cowboy Bebop: The Movie through BitTorrent. The film is almost 2 hours long but the file was about 1.4GB in size. I suspected it to be only moderate quality, but was astounded to find the video was in nearly FLAWLESS HD (1038x544). Not only that, but the movie came complete with a chapter track. With all this in mind, I am operating on a 667Mhz G4 laptop. I can hardly play back files encoded at SD resolution with 3ivX and yet this thing played with little to no trouble. Granted, it is animation and thus allows me that edge, but it still amazed me.
The codec it is encoded in is labeled 3ivX 4.5.2a1. So, as near as I can figure is that I got a preview of what's to come, not only a more advanced codec, but a new application for ripping DVDs. So, the question is . . . can anybody tell me more . . .

I can't believe this "thing" is free. It is :)
This is a _must have_ download if you have anything to do with videos.
