This isn't why we removed Adware
Adware allowed us to give DivX Pro to millions of people all around the world for free, some of whom could not afford to buy it, some who just found that adware was an acceptable option for them. However, there have always been a growing volume of requests that we remove adware from our bundles. Today we are responding to everyone who has ever made such a request to us - DivX 5.2 is 100% adware-free.
Please, if you are going to evaluate DivX 5.2, judge it on its own merits, recognize the leap forward we are making in removing adware from this release, and try not to pass judgement based on a small technical problem we had some time in the past.
As much as is possible, we are striving to give you DivX Pro for free, just as we have always done. With our 5.2 release we are taking a huge step towards acheiving that with a
massive 6 month trial of Divx Pro. In the future, things may get even better for you guys
But we have to take one big step at a time, rather than a giant leap that could see us falling flat on our ass, so to speak
It might help appease your concerns if I told you that we plan to release more frequently than once every 6 months
Having said all that, I'm very interested to hear what you think of DivX 5.2, and how your test results turn out
