DivX for Windows is the DivX Codec an advanced digital video codec (coder/decoder) that plugs into popular video software applications. This codec can reduce an MPEG-2 video (DVD format) to ten percent of its original size. DivX is a digital video compression technology based on the ISO MPEG-4 standard.
When used in combination with your existing video software, DivX Pro allows you to create and play high-quality DivX videos and provides playback support for interactive video menus, subtitles, alternate audio tracks and more. DivX technology can compress digital videos 5 to 10 times more than the MPEG-2/DVD format and hundreds of times over raw digital video.
The DivX Converter will allow users to easily convert videos to DivX in one easy step. Simply drag videos onto the DivX Converter and click 'convert.' Videos created with the DivX Converter will play back on millions of certified devices.
The DivX Player lets you play all DivX videos. This includes every version of DivX video; even purchased or rented DivX movies, DivX HD files, and videos created with advanced features such as menus, subtitles and more. The DivX Player for Windows also lets you create playlists, manage video collections, burn discs and activate DivX certified devices.
The DivX Web Player is a versatile utility that allows you to watch DivX videos from within your web browser and embed DivX videos directly on to a web page or social networking profile.

What's fixed in 6.8.2:

* It is now possible to play DivX 3.11 videos when "Use advanced hardware overlay" is enabled in the decoder configuration utility.
* Custom quantization matrices containing the ASCII end-of-file character are now loaded correctly.
* The "Browse Matrices" button in the encoder UI is now available consistently when the quantization type is set to "MPEG-2 Custom".
* The codec should no longer output licensing messages to the console. Thanks to BitBasher over at Doom9.org for getting in touch about this problem!
