DivX HiQ Beta is Now Closed

06/16/2011: Huge thanks to everyone who tried out the DivX HiQ beta! We truly appreciate your past use of the DivX HiQ product, as it provided us with valuable data regarding a mainstream implementation of the DivX Plus Web Player. Your feedback will help us further improve DivX Plus Web Player.

Now that the experiment is over, the DivX HiQ beta will be uninstalled from your system in this latest release of the DivX Plus Web Player. This won’t prevent you from watching videos with DivX Plus Web Player on websites that choose to use our player and you can continue to use DivX Plus Web Player as your HTML5 video player for H.264 content. However, this update will remove the DivX HiQ button and the DivX Plus Web Player will no longer work on sites that specify their own default Flash player.

We hope you continue to enjoy the DivX Plus Web Player along with the rest of our DivX software, and look for more updates in the near future.

Also, stay tuned here on DivX Labs for future experiments, including betas and early releases, and thanks again for helping us improve the way people watch web video.

Sincerely,
The DivX Software Team

As of version 2.1, the DivX Plus Web Player supports the HTML5 API, so it can be embedded and controlled using the <video> tag and open web standards such as JavaScript. It takes full advantage of the <video> tag’s attributes by allowing publishers to create seamless playback experiences and custom controls for DivX, AVI, MKV, MP4 and MOV videos across multiple browsers: Firefox and Chrome (Internet Explorer & Safari Coming in full release version).

This is made possible by browser extensions included with the Web Player that can easily be enabled or disabled by users to allow them to choose their default HTML5 player.
