DiV3 decompressor?

[ken124578]

I was just given a cool movie, i tried to view it using realplayer/quicktime, with quicktime it said that it couldn't find the right decompressor (or in that direction) and with realplayer it said: unable to render video; DIV3 decompressor not found.

What is a DIV3 decompressor?

Where can i get the DIV3 decompressor for quicktime6/realplayer or atleast a program that can read it. Quicktime version: 6 and i have realplayer 8 basic.

btw. it's file extention is .avi, i don't know if that helped but i really want to see that video. :-

Sorry for the double post.

I have a dvd player here (pioneer: DVD LD-player 909DVL) would the dvd player be able to read/play it if i burned it on cd?

do you mean DivX?

Mediaplayer should autodownload the codec. If not go to microsoft.com and get it manually.

I think the file is encoded with the divx format.

click here to get the divx bundle.

Just install it, and play the movie.

Btw, do not burn anything on a cd or a dvd and think it will work.

Your computer need the right codec installed to show a movie no matter where it is run from. :)

i lost some of my codecs recently, God only knows how

now some of my MPEGS don't run, but others do

The MicroSoft website is useless for solving these issues, as is the divX website. I downloaded all the codec-related things i could find on both of those, and they still didn't install the right codecs to get all my MPEGS running again.

i doubt anyone on this board will be knowledgable enough to help me with this problem, but if any of you know a "defacto Codec package" that will actually make all my MPEGS work again, do tell me

DiV3 is DiVX, think "DiVX version 3". Go to http://www.divx.com and look for the codec installer.

I've already provided a direct link to the installer ;)
