Yes, it is a very good program with ability to download and play different media files. It has own player. If you installed it, open Help in the main window and get all information there.
Here is the description of it.

Divx is a technology of video compression like mpeg,wmv so on, invented by divx groups.we can play divx compressed video files with the divx codec pcs without this cant play divx videos. but several programs such as vlc media player(open source) itself has a codec and its light weight also

divx is a video format. It's good quality, but doesn't take as much space. You can convert your videos to divx to save harddrive space and play them in the divx player you have.

Why'd you download it if you don't know what it is, though?

There is a web site Stage6.com where you can post and veiw videos and movies, it uses Divx. The only problem with that system is the buffering is very slow and some times it hangs up. Great full screen and picture quality but slow.
