I saw this @ Tom's Hardware and this is what they said:
The new generation of DivX-Codec 5.0 is now ready for downloading at DivX.com. The main difference between it and its predecessors is that only the standard version is still free. The "Pro" version, with many new features, now costs $30. Anyone who cannot do without this program, and yet has no money, will have to develop a fondness for a banner ad-sponsored version. Despite this situation, which has generated controversy among many users, one thing must be said for the DivX Networks team: they developed a codec that compresses the data volume of DVDs to an eleventh of their original size, with almost the same quality. This makes DivX 5.0, which is compatible with MPEG-4s, ideal for transmitting audio and video data over the Internet. It also makes it possible for a Hollywood classic to be burned onto a CD-ROM. This last statement is true, if the film is no longer than 100 minutes and if you insert a blank CD with a capacity of 700 MB or more. Click on Read More... for a link to see the whole review.
