DivX for Mac

I didn't realize that Mac users couldn't watch (mostly pirated) DivX-encoded movies, until now. This news will surely make Mac's more fun.

"The DivX® codec is a patent-pending, MPEG-4 based video compression technology that can shrink digital video to sizes small enough to be transported over the Internet, while maintaining high visual quality. To view the compressed version of the video, you need a media player designed to play DivX-encoded content. So download the DivX Player (it is included in all of the DivX software bundles, and the DivX® codec is pre-installed), then get ready to experience a full-screen, full-motion, high-quality DivX video experience."

Of course, there has been a version of DivX for Linux for some time.

Incidentally, as I do not have access to a Mac right now, it would be great if Mac users could send me some screenshots of this site (so that I can see how everything looks). Please make a note of what browser you are using and send them to me. Thanks!
