There's a free version and a pro version, both are on the divx website. It should have a media player bundled in the package too. But what do you mean by video viewer? Doesnt windows media player view videos?

When I put in the DVD to test a movie last night it said there was no player for it. So I quess I didn't have the right one for DVDs. Although, the AVI play with no problem.

You probably just need a dvd player then, like WinDVD (my personal favorite) or PowerDVD. Both have free trials.

VLC will also play DVD's, but the interface isn't as elegant, and it can act buggy here and there. But it's free.
