De ontwikkelaars van DivX Labs zijn druk bezig geweest met Dr. DivX en hebben een nieuwe versie beschikbaar gesteld. Dit programma is bedoeld om videobeelden met de DivX-codec van dezelfde makers te coderen. Dr. DivX is sinds enige tijd beschikbaar onder de LGPL-licentie en kan op verschillende platformen draaien zoals Linux, Mac OS X en Windows 2000/XP. Echter de huidige bètaversies werken alleen op het Windows-platform. De ontwikkelaars hebben de negende bètaversie van Dr. DivX 2.0.0 uitgebracht met de volgende lap van aanpassingen sinds de vorige vermelding in onze Meuktracker:
