DivX Plus Web Player 2.0 Beta You asked for it, we built it. We've been slaving away for months on a new version of DivX Web Player that includes a ton of new features. What's new? Well, DivX Plus (.mkv) support for one thing. You can now watch MKV videos right in your web browser, including all the features that made you love MKV in the first place, like bandwidth efficient H.264, multiple audio tracks, subtitles, and 5.1 channel audio. There is also support for dynamic seeking to jump around a video without downloading the whole thing. Jump to the full DivX Plus Web Player Beta article...
