Additional Software or Filters for use with DivX Player and DivX Converter

DivX Software is a powerful suite of tools that allow you to create, convert and playback videos in the DivX® format. DivX Software is open, which means that third-party developers can create filters or plug-ins that expand DivX functionality to support additional video and audio file types. If you encounter files that DivX Software does not support, you may be required to install additional software or filters.
 
The table below lists common media formats that require the installation of additional filters to enable support in DivX Software.

If you don’t know what to install, the first thing to check is the extension that follows your file’s name.  For example, if you have a file named mymovie.MOV or homevideo.VOB , select the MOV or VOB link below, respectively.  Sometimes the filter or software you need is for the audio or video track of your video file.  To find this out, you can open your video file in free codec analysis software such as MediaInfo or GSpot.  Open the file in one of these tools and check the format for the video or audio track.  If the audio format, for example, is AC3 then you need to click the link for the AC3 Filter below.
