Download VLC (videolan client) for free from the French students who
wrote it. It's such a good program, Hollywood went after the students
trying to force them to take it off the net because it can play anything,
protected or not, with its OWN codecs, not using the hobbled up codecs
from Micro$not or others. VLC is great for playing all the movies from
Usenet, like alt.binaries.movies.divx and others.
Simply install it like any other program automatically. Let it become
the default video player for all formats it supports...all except
Realvideo, which is proprietary and threatened to sue.
VLC works great on all the files....(c;
