To find out which one, download gspot or avicodec, and open the file with them (drag the movie onto the gspot or avicodec window to do it quickly). The video codec is usually identified by its fourcc (four character code). Once you know what video codec the movie uses, you can download and install it. Here’s a few commonly encountered ones. I’ll list them in the format fourcc : video codec name : where to download DX50 or DIVX : DivX 4, 5 or 6 : http://www.divx.com XVID : Xvid : http://www.moviecodec.com/downloads/8d.html DIV3 or DIV4 : DivX 3 : http://www.moviecodec.com/downloads/22d.html If you’re encountering a fourcc or container (file type) not listed here, you can look it up in our table here or here Last edited 11 Mar 2008 06:59 pm by anonymous
