Rancho over at Warp2Search has noticed that DivX has released the new DivX player with added fullstream support. DivX player 2.1 is bundled with the current DivX 5.03 bundle packages.
New:
The DivX Player is now a more general-purpose media player. This version adds support for the following file formats:
MPEG-1 (.mpg)
MPEG-2 (.vob)
Windows Media Video (.asf, but not .wmv)
QuickTime (.mov, but only those files that can be decoded by DirectShow; some QuickTime files still will not work)
Support for certain hardware post-processing acceleration.
Auto-installing skins. DivX Player skins may now be installed by simply double-clicking on the skin file. There is no longer a need to manually move the skin file to the Skins directory.
Improved:
Open URL... functionality. The "Open URL..." functionality of the DivX Player has been re-written to improve performance. The GUI is also re-designed to improve feedback during the download process. The "Open URL..." functionality now also supports FILE URLs.
