| I can't play divx movies!! Hi I thought my Powerbook 500mhz (firewire) had enough power to play a divx movie, but I guess I was wrong. I haven't been able to watch through the opening credits of a movie without it loosing so many frames I can't watch it. All my friends can watch divx movies without any problems and I don't think they have monster computers. Is it just that the codec available today isn't good enough or what! Well, I'd appreciate any tips on making it possible to watch divx movies without me having to buy a new computer.  |

| Your powerbook definately has enough speed to play a divx .. it's either the codec that's flakey or the encoding job that they did on the movie.

| Im having the same problem. I use the divx codec plugin for Apples QuickTime. But well, the codec plugin is still in development state, so what do u expect? I bet it will run much faster when the final version is released...

| I use divx for X by Jamby. It's a QuickTime codec based on ffmpeg. http://www.versiontracker.com/morein...d=11952&db=mac

| Okay I have a stupid question .. how do we install this? It doesn't say in the 'better_readme.rtf' and I'm a goober that doesn't know how the Mac OS works.

| Actually, the better_readme.rtf says, "ffmpeg.component drag in your /Library/QuickTime folder or cp -r ffmpeg.component /Library/QuickTime" Which essentially is trying to tell you to move the file named "ffmpeg.component" to the folder names "QuickTime" that is located inside the folder named "Library" which is located inside the icon for your hard drive. The first time I installed this file, I seem to remember having to reboot to get it to work correctly. Once you've done that, write back if you have any troubles with sound (or any other troubles or you just want to tell us you have it working). Hope this helps.
