Dr. DivX Mac Update

Dr. DivX Mug

We've found an issue with the DivX encoder registration on the Mac which causes the Dr. to crash when video encodes begin. This happens only when you are using the "Community" version of the codec. It does not happen when you are using the "Pro" version of the codec.

You can use either QuickTime Pro or iMovie (depending on what you have) to fix the DivX encoder registration issue.
