   Download was a small installer that downloaded the individual parts as a collection of tmp files rather than a full setup program. Install was much higher impact than the usual ffmpeg-based video convertors, but most of that impact is strictly bloat, e.g. 3600 new registry entries. It does take over a number of file name or type associations [i.e. the program that opens when you double-click a file], which is probably the biggest thing you'll notice. The conversion parts use a lot of Mainconcept encode/decode code or files, while like the convertors that appear on GOTD it uses QT code to make conversions fast.

   I couldn't find a lot of info on the new release, other than support for DivX 8 is ending... It seems to me like DivX may be shifting their biz model, providing more features for free, charging for the DVD Backup portion -- a 15 day trial is included in the install. In the past unless you paid for the Pro version DivX limited what you could convert to & the number of encoder settings.
