Comments on: Get DivX Pro for free

For a limited time, you can get DivX Pro free of charge for Mac or Windows. Normally it costs $19.99.

Would be good if it actually worked! This is pretty funny... At the end of the install process, after writing my email address and clicking "Next", I am presented with the following error: "You are not online. Please connect to the Internet to receive an email with your free serial number for DivX Pro. Would you like to connect and try again?". No matter what I do, and despite the fact that I am online and able to send and receive email, this error doesn't go away! Holiday freebie? More like an April fool's joke... Anybody else getting similar results?

Hey..i got the same message too. Would you like to connect and try again? I am also online..this seems to be a joke...

This could be due to having a Sonicwall Firewall in place. I too received the same message and after sniffing the wire was able to determine the Sonicwall was blocking the registration

Worked just fine for me. Probly won't ever use it, but hey! it's free.

Just a guess on my part, but perhaps their servers are overloaded do to the huge number of downloads? I had no problems installing last night...

I already own DivX Pro. :-( But I have gotten my money's worth; I've had it for almost two years now.

Like "stagehand" said earlier, worked just fine for me, but I probably wont ever use it. Hey nothing beats free though.
