DivX Pro

Strength:
A good tool for converting and playing DVD; the quality is pretty nice. This tool could also help users to compress DVD into .divx format. The conversion speed is fast.

Weakness:
The update could not satisfy some users. There is something wrong with its Help files (actually, there is no Help file, but "ReadMe" files. some words are not correct).

Benefits:
When the installation is finally finished by the installation wizard, I was surprised to find that there are at least 3 tools bundled with it (I supposed there is only a DivX pro player). 
After checking the instruction did I know it was an all-in-one toolkit for DVD. There are several links for each tool and a general selection for links--considerate designs for users, if they do not learn much about this toolkit, a link to website guide does help them a lot.

As some users stated DivX Player is a high quality utility and that of conversion is also nice. This tool adopts EKG (electronikompressiongragh) as the encoding utility, which is an advanced facility offering unparalleled precision and control to refine visual quality to a better level.

Some users might meet such condition as follow: the screen size of a DVD is not very perfect as we imagined. Some tools could not support video crop or resize, thus the means aren't adjustable. Those anxious users could try this tool to meet their needs, for DivX Pro boosts visual quality at lower resolutions or bitrates by adjusting video dimensions and removing black bars.  This feature ensures users to get a better visual screen when watching films. DivX Pro also offers DivX Certified encoding profiles optimized for High Definition, Home Theater, Portable, and Handheld devices.

Setup
It takes one or two minutes to install, for this is a toolkit. There is no adware, spyware and malware bundled with it, so you could install it without hesitation.
There are several tools in this toolkit and each tool provides a shortcut to uninstall. Should you decide to remove one or whole program, select the homologous shortcut and the tool will be removed.

Interface
The interface of DivX Pro is simple and easy to use. There should be some explanations of each button--though each button is easy to realize, some beginners may be confused by the non-explained buttons.

System Requirements
DivX Pro could be compatible with Windows 98, 2000, ME and XP. It's a pity for Vista users as it could not be used on Vista system.  The RAM requires at least 512MB or higher; and the hard disk space is at least 5GB. These requirements are not hard to meet as a moderate computer's configurations are far beyond them.

Conclusion
DivX Pro is ease of use. This is an all-in-one toolkit for video files and the supported formats are very popular, thus satisfying users very much. You could convert a DVD to an avi format, a mov format as well as a wmv one. Some users comment it as a tool which combines MPEG and AVI into one. As MPEG is good for visual effects and AVI excels at video effects. At least this tool is worth experiencing.
