I just use VLC media player for my xvid files.

it now plays DivX files on my system with no problems - at last

i find that rather odd!, playing Xvid/DivX files depends on having the codec installed, if your app isnt playing these files than you have not installed the right codec.

try this Xvid codec alongside the divx codec, and see if that helps

as already said, you can also use other players such as VLC, MPC, Mplayer.

installing Haali Media Splitter is also a good thing to do

it was an app problem, not a codec problem, it works now

for me, powerdvd6 would play divX

I 'upgraded' to powerdvd7 and the same files would not play, although some had audio.

The latest patch seems to have fixed it, and I can play DivX files using PowerDVD7

It wasn't an issue regarding installed codecs, which was confirmed by gspot - all academic now it works
