For me DivX has never worked very well. Actually, that’s too kind – it’s never WORKED, full stop. Extremely slow buffer rate … I have never managed to watch a full video using DivX – it takes about 60 seconds to load 10-15 seconds of any video!

DivX sucks; always did before and still does. Seriously – do something about your player because aside Youku (which it is on par with, by the way), it is the worst video player out there!

It’s a piece of crap that requires about 3 hours of pre-buffering any video file before it is watchable smoothly. Want to watch a video as it loads? Forget using DivX then, because that’s near enough impossible, even at faster broadband speeds! Die DivX, DIE!

Ummmmm I was just about to write how this is shit, same as everyone else and I kinda right clicked on the “0% buffering” and clicked play. Away it went….. Give it a try.

There was a lot of interesting feedback about the DivX Web Player both positive & negative, but since Stage 6 we have made an incredible investment into the players improvement and I would like invite you to try out the new DivX Plus Web Player, which is the first player to bring MKV to the web browser.

• Support for DivX Plus video (H.264 video with AAC audio in an MKV container)

• 5.1 channel surround sound audio

• Dynamic seeking – skip ahead in a video you’re watching (site servers must support http 1.1 for this feature to work correctly)

The Beta is available here and final release is scheduled for November. Thanks!

DivX webplayer sucks balls. I go to watch a movie and it just sits and buffers at 0% for a long time. It takes an hour to move if it ever does. I have a fast internet connection too and DivX offers could quality. Quality doesn’t mean anything when you have to wait weeks to watch a movie. Every site hosting streaming DivX movies sucks now. They all buffer forever or the there is so BS error and the file can;t be found nor uploaded. It’s annoying as hell and I am through with DivX and it’s terrible service.

DIVX videos are so much more crisp and clear to look at. I do not care about all the techno-babble. I want to watch quality. Flash videos are low quality. I have seen some HD flash videos which look pretty good, but DIVX videos are the best quality.
Thanks James
