    I have a problem playing a xvid movie. I have downloaded codecs. But it still wont play. For some reason, I downloaded divx player earlier and it keeps freezing. what is the problem. When I try to play it in windows media it just says I don't have the appropriate codecs.

    You downloaded the divx codec? Try download the Xvid Codec and see if that helps. Im not sure if they are backwards compatible.

    Backwards compatible? More like sideways compatible. DivX can decode XviD and XviD can decode DivX (not 3.11alpha though).

    What container though? If you don't have a working splitter, then the decoder doesn't matter.
