WMP 7 sucks for Divx, but it will work. The problem is divx.com is not about divx ;-). They took the divx name (bought it) and built their own mpeg4 codec which is not compatable with divx 3.11 for the purpose of producing VOD (video on demand). They're using the divx name to generate hits to their site. Divx digest, and www.doom9.net are good resources for codecs/ players and such. Sasami2k is the most promising player right now. Other than that you can type mplayer2 in the run box on your PC for WMP 6.4.

Solution; Go here; doom9 , download divx 3.11, install. Play the file in your favorite media player.

hey madthumbs do the divx players make a difference in how good a rip looks ??
I just used the first one google found for me (ripnot) & it works pretty well & looks good.

also, thanks for that tip about WMP 6.4, I H8 WMP 7 & moved back from ME cuz of it.

Yes, they can make a difference especially on weaker systems they can make a difference how smooth they play. I've heard that there is some picture quality issues with some codecs on some players. Sasami2k just has the nicest interface with a decent amount of options. If it ever matures it will probably become my default player. My sister has noticed that some movies play better on one player, others better on another. She is on a weak (k6-2 550) cpu though.
