More than once you've probably suffered the frustration of trying to play a DivX video, and failed due to lacking a codec. Luckily, the solution to this problem is easy, as you just have to install a pack like this
DivX Codec.
In DivX Codec you have a magnificent and very complete codec pack that, once installed, lets you view, from your favourite multimedia player, any video in DivX, Div3, Div4 or Dx50.
This download of DivX Codec is for Windows 2000, XP and Vista, but there is another version called DivX Codec ME/98 for Windows ME and 98.
