What is DivX VOD?
The “VOD” refers to Video-On-Demand. DivX has a technology that
allows other websites to sell videos ranging from Hollywood hits to
independent films in DivX format. This technology is integrated into
Player as well as every DivX Certified device.
When you rent or buy a movie online from one of our partners’
websites, the movie is associated to your DivX Account through a
simple login process. Once you register any of your DivX Certified
devices to your DivX Account, you will be able to play any of the
movies belonging to the same DivX Account on those devices.
DivX VOD is a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system. This
means that it securely protects copyrights while allowing users to
legally rent or purchase movies online. The files are encrypted for
this copyright protection, so they cannot be converted or used in
non-DivX software or devices.
Purchased DivX movies belong to the DivX Account, not the
individual computer. So you can simply login to your DivX Account
in the Player to watch videos on any Internet connected computer,
or play the movie on any DivX Certified device that has been
registered to the same DivX Account.
TIP:
since your movie belongs to your DivX Account, which is
identified by your email address, if you ever need to change email
addresses you should simply update your DivX Account to use a
new address. Do not create a new DivX Account as your movie
cannot be moved to a new account.
VIDEO ON DEMAND
Where to Find Movies
DivX video has been shared on the Internet since 1999. Videos
created in the DivX format will play out of the box on any
computer or DivX Certified device. However, purchased DivX
movies only come from websites that partner with DivX to sell
secure and legal content in the DivX format.
All DivX Video-On-Demand content is distributed through
third-party websites. We do not sell any DivX movies directly
on our website, but you can find out about the sites offering
the latest Hollywood hits and more on our Find Movies page.
