Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | The one that Mole posted works fine. The first few seconds are corrupted as Windows seems to try and find the codec, but then all is well after then. ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Member Master Gumby Posts: 111 | Lavasoft's Ad aware successfully removes spyware installed by divx or from any other source however divx will refuse to encode videos if it detects the components were removed. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Yeah, well, but you probably don't have such a high-class porn need, so you don't have as many videos as certain other members ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Prof Gumby Posts: 607 | To anyone interested: FFDShow works fine for me for watching DivX or xvid movies, although it hasn't been updated in a long while I've never come across a video I couldn't watch because of an outdated codec. I installed it on this computer directly after formatting and reinstalling Windows, so there was never any other comparable codec installed as far as I know. Of course, I can't guarantee it will work flawlessly for anyone else. I also don't know whether or not it is legal to use this software, that's honestly something I hadn't thought about. ----- "One Very Important Thought" |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 1007 | Yes, that's the one. It's also the one that uses ActiveX controls to install itself on your computer without your knowledge, if you are using MSIE. Just last Saturday I was running my regular AdAware sweeps in the office, and found that new Gator versions also try to hijack your browser. However, as intrusive as the software is, it's got nothing on Alexa, which I found on all computers but two - mine and a coworker's who I finally convinced to use Opera. ----- NetDanzr<br /> -The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog- |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | I always archive some previous versions and burn them on CDs for the case that Oldversion.com is down. |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | Why not just taking a previous version of the regular Divx? |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11126 | Well, you could try the one Mole posted - and tell us if it's working. ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | Argh. Bad News for me. I had to reinstalled Windows and it killed off DivX. I guess no more movie watching (those encoded with DivX) for me. ----- Keep your stick on the ice |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | Ok, compared to "Windows Media Codec" (?), Divx might still be the better alternative. |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 964 | Actually, that's not very surprising - it was getting worse and bloated with every version anyway. It's just annoying that people most likely won't switch to another codec because Divx has become so common. I'm not working with videos myself very much. Some time ago I had to convert a wmv file that didn't run because I don't have/want Windows Spyware Player that includes the codec; I encoded it with Xvid (which is open source) and quality and size were really good. Mole: Is your link some hacked vresion of Divx? If it is, there's still the question whether they include the frequent updates of Divx... |
