120927 2003-02-13 08:38:00 Make sure you're using either the DivX Playa, or Windows Media Player,as other players might not pickup the plugin :-).

Otherwise, goto:
http://www.divx.com and get both. Go for the Free Edition!


Cheers

120929 2003-02-13 08:45:00 first of all beware of codec packs. very handy but can cause trouble as various codecs/filters can clash causeing grief.

try gspot (www.headbands.com) which can help identify which codec.

divx (latest ver is 5.03) usually plays most avi's.
