socalTECH.com: DivX said that it has released DivX 6 for Mac, including DivX Converter for Mac, a stand-alone DivX encoder for the Mac platform.

The new DivX Converter software provides drag and drop encoding into the DivX format. The release also includes a Quicktime codec plug-in for playback and export of DivX video. The new software supports Quicktime 6 and 7, and Mac OS X 10.3 or later. DivX markets its own video compression and decompression scheme which compresses video files to a very small size compared to industry standard MPEG compression.
