This scenario has occurred without variation every single time I've tried to open the DivX Player application.

When I come back, the beach ball is still spinning, so, resignedly, I go to the 'Force Quit' command, where, invariably, I see the message 'DivX Player not responding,' and, resignedly, I force quit it.

HOW has it never worked, you ask? It has never worked in this way: I click on the DivX Player app icon, the DivX Player window opens, and the Mac OS beach ball spins merrily away, and spins, and spins, and spins - at this point, I usually go to the kitchen for another cup of the strengthening coffee and the hopefully headache-reducing ibuprofen.

The final video, which ALSO opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: 'Connecting… Buffering: …,' spoke to me about the manifold joys of DivX Plus converter, which ALSO requires the DivX Player application, and since the DivX Player application (v.7.2 (build 10_0_0_184, Copyright © 2006-2009 DivX, Inc.), which, I was given to understand, was actually a PART of the DivX software I had finally 'successfully installed' (according to 's delirious greeting), has never worked, none of what all these videos talked about was going to do me much good. BTW, I hate to sound like a troglodytic Luddite, but I have no idea what 'MKV' video is.

Useless info, but that video, too, opened up the way I believe the *HiQ videos are supposed to open up in YouTube, for example: 'Connecting… Buffering: …,' and then actually opening and playing. The next video was about the DivX Plus Codec Pack, and the video told me about the wonderful things DivX could do in Windows 7, if I was brain-dead enough to USE Windows 7. It continued, extolling the manifold virtues of 'DivX to go,' which was of no use to me. Then I played the NEXT movie, all about the DivX Plus Player, and here I TRULY saw something I'd never seen before: *a DivX Plus Player window, that actually said ' Connecting… Buffering: … ' and then - mirabile dictu! - an actual video began to play, and actually continued to play, with no stops, fits, or error windows, right up until the end. Then it told me about the 'DivX Plus Web Player… Now Featuring: DivX HiQ… Boost web video quality and performance… … Look for the DivX HiQ Button on your favorite video sites… see better quality and performance with a simple click… Try it out on your favorite sites… YouTube.

The first movie informed me 'You have successfully installed DivX software.' This WAS something new. Then I was shown many movies, promising new marvels:

Finally, yesterday, it somehow (I thought) installed correctly: at least instead of nothing whatsoever happening after the install, this time I was whisked magically away to > where I was rather breathlessly informed 'Congratulations! You can now enjoy the highest quality digital video | .' Well, this was something new - this was the first time I'd ever gotten this far. I have DL'd AND installed - several times over the past few days - DivX for Mac, version 7.3 (right up-to-date as of 11-30-10 - great support for the Mac OS), with little or no success or noticeable results.

Pardon me for the length of this post - it's just a very involved question to which DivX has no answers, and I've literally wasted this entire week trying to get the so-called DivX 'Bundle for Mac' to work, with absolutely no joy.Ģ7' iMac Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz, 12 GB RAM, OS X 10.6.7Īs anyone who has used YouTube in the past year or however long this option has been available, many videos, under the regular YouTube control bar at the bottom of the video window, have an additional option: DivX HiQ, with a blue 'play' button with black arrow, and in white text on black, the message 'Press play for higher quality video.' EVERY SINGLE time, until yesterday (about which more anon) I've selected DivX HiQ, the YouTube screen turns into the gray DivX Plus player window for a few seconds, sometimes I get a brief 'Buffering…' message (sometimes not)* (see below), then a window pops up telling me 'DivX Plus Web Player could not download the video, please check your internet connection.'
