    I have a question:
    How do I play DivX movies or .avi movies on my computer? I download movies with the .avi extension and they just dont play of WMP, Realplayer or Quicktime.
    Thanks

    The best software program for divx encoded movies is Nimo Codec pack. Has the codecs you need to play anything. Plus there is a new codec out called "xvid" which is basically divx backwards. Have seen some vids with that coded (wont say which one :) ) and the quality is unbelieveable. :eek:

    BTW, SmeggySmeg, you are now officially a 'software pirate' under the DCMA for helping people to overcome digitaly based copyright protections. If you ever set foot in the US, you are now subject to a $1 Million fine and 10 years in prison. God knows if they'll help Adobe prosicute some guy wh helps blind people to read they'll sure as hell come after your @ss! :p

    Is this the same divx that was in the first DVD players where you had to pay to watch a movie one time?

    Yes and no. Divx was that bad idea Circuit City had to rival rental stores but failed miserably. Then some people made up a codec like WAV to MP3 but MPEG to AVI with a special codec called "divx" which they did name it after that Circuit City's crap.

    I've got broadband, but now I can't think of downloading anything.

    No, really.

    I don't know what to download.

    And sometimes (half the time) I try to get avi, divx, or whatever movies, they don't work.

    I have Nostra, but it doesn't seem to wanna play movies half the time.

    Well, off to get Godfather now...
