FWIW the DivX people say that they still aren't ready for Vista

We're working on vista folks. We're not ignoring it as much as you think. I
believe our new codec, when you install, we're now giving a message that
warns you that the software may not work. Along with that we're looking at
all of our software products and will have new updates that will help with
people who are using vista.

I'm sure that my answer won't be sufficient but you should still know it's
not like we're sitting on our thumbs and laughing or something strange like
that ;-)

Also - the next version of Dr. DivX will work in Vista. And, if you find
bugs with the new version that are specific to vista you can report them in
the Dr. DivX forum.

Is there an ETA on either the next Vista Compatible DivX or Dr. DivX
release? An exact date isn't necessary, just an approximation. (I.E.
Sometime this month, sometime in March, sometime this summer)

In reply to chaosrain, #9:

I don't have any ETA for you on DivX but I do for Dr. DivX. As posted here
forums.divx.com/forum/viewTopic.php?id=3235 the new one will be out in the
"next few days"
