http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divxcodec.html
download 3.11, 4.x, and 5.x

http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html
then download this xvid codec

These should be all codec's you need to play any divx avi files.

The person above is correct

there is a kit somewhere i'll see if i can find it again

Thanks guys.

Edit. didnt work

[grantu2]

didn't work!!... why you little... *choking BTZ*

Ok here lets first find out what codec the file is converted too.
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/...gs_editor.html

Then after abcavitags tells you the codec download that codec from:
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/

or if this site doesn't have the specific codec; do a search for in google. Note that you might also have a bogus file. Whats the file name and size may I ask.

get videoLAN it plays mostly all codec formats... also try google and search for either G spot or nimo for some codecs

[chrono8921]

Err... the Nimo codec pack sucks, and Gspot is to find out what codec a video file needs. I suggest you use the K-Lite Codec Pack, and if you can't find it via Google, I could send it to you, just PM me...

really?...i've had no problems with it so far.of course i have some other pack too...which i don't know the name of.i just followed a techy-savvy guy's instructions when i got my codecs

[chrono8921]

LoL... the Nimo codec pack has a lot of stuff in it that's either redundant or outdated. Whereas the K-Lite Codec Pack has only the neccessary ones.

You can find the K-Lite Codec pack here:

At first you'll see nothing but flashing banners on the page. But if you scroll down, you will see the links.

Avoid codec packs. I recommend downloading all codecs separately. DivX and Xvid should be all you need for MPEG-4 encoded avi's.

try using the ace mega codec pack, it has just about every codec in exhistence, just do a search for it in www.filemirrors.com use this string: acemcp593pro, it's really big (about 50 megs) so be careful...

[Neverin]

I downloaded that ace mega thing a while ago. It is godly!

Problem is though installing codecs takes up room and makes your computer more unstable.

You really should only install the codecs as you need them.

Get XviD Koepi's build and DivX. maybe even the OGG directshow filter, should work.
