The DivX Software team has released the DivX Plus Software 9 and a free Windows only version of the software is available for download. Here is a summary of the new features of the latest package:

- The new DivX Plus Player now includes a free media server, so you can stream your video collection to any DLNA-compatible device.

DivX Plus Converter is built on top of an entirely new cross-platform transcoding engine from MainConcept, so it?s just faster than ever before. It also has support for Intel Quick Sync Video, which means that any Windows machine with a 2nd or 3rd Generation Intel Core processor (Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge) can take advantage of hardware accelerated encoding. This combination can lead to as much as 10x speed advantage over the last Converter release (v8).

The converter also has two new profiles for your iPhones and iPads, allowing you to create MP4 files. With hardware accelerated encoding, DivX Plus Converter will do it fast.

The DivX team has made the converter, DLNA, iOS output, and ardware acceleration free. Due to licensing costs, the the MPEG-2/DVD Plug-in for converter version is be sold seperately.
