Topic: divX, div3, DX50 codecs for video playback

[bat69]

Anyone who has downloaded movie clips, music videos etc and has been unable to view them in their media players, have probably not had the correct codecs installed on their system.

Symptome of this include, sound without pictures, error messages etc

Well I've got the possible answer, although this may not work on every system, or may cause some media players to freeze (that's the disclaimer  )

I downloaded this nifty little utility to find out if the codec was installed for the video ...GSPOT2.1

Finding that I was missing a number of codecs, I then downloaded and installed Xvid and this sorted some codecs out

However there were still a couple I needed .. div3, DX50 and div3/div4  ... I found by installing DivX Player (Note not the Pro version that has Adware/spyware) that I could now play everything

If you download The Kazaa Lite Codec Pack, available here http://ka3.edskes.com/klcodec200f.exe it contains just about every conceivable video and audio codec out there.

Hope this helps you all.

P.S No spyware too
