Yeah... I've never quite figured out why I'm supposed to install DivX on my Mac. There's nothing VLC or QuickTime with the Perian plug-in can't handle.

A couple of reasons. First, if you are creating DivX files then you should use the DivX encoder. Install DivX on your Mac and use DivX Converter or Streamclip or Quicktime Pro to create your own videos. VLC can not create DivX videos.
Second, if you purchase DivX VOD titles from sites like http://warnervideolive.com/ then you will need DivX Mac Player to view them. VLC will not work.
