DIVX?
« on: May 15, 2004, 05:51:42 pm »
I can download the matrix movie that Lid posted on the front forums, but I cannot see video.  I need a Divx codec, but I do not want to download a self-contained spyware program to watch it and it looks like that's what I'll get from the site.

Anyone know where I might get a free codec without spyware? (Searching myself and will edit to post it here for other dorks like myself.)

*edit* http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/16330 is available from versiontracker, which Catalyst recommended and looks like it'll handle divx and others.  From reading the .txt file on the standard divx codec from the original web site it looks like there will not be addware, etc., on the Divx codec.  I downloaded 3.1.1 alpha. The link for that and the newer is: http://www.divxmovies.com/software/  Either will probably work */edit*

If I was on my new computer I could probably tell you what I have to get it to work, but I'm back home now...

If you search Version Tracker under the PC section for VLC, that might be able to do the trick.  I think it has its own codec library (not sure).  I've only had good experiences with this program, and I highly doubt any spyware will go along for the ride.

this is really off topic but i noticed it last night.
catalyst you look just like a character on southpark named terrance (not the terrance and phillip one)
download the episode "When an elephant makes love to a pig" and you'll see what i mean  8)

That video was flipping awesome (well, the video quality was dreadful, but the moves were fun!)

Really, Ari?  Now that's random.  It's not me, by the way.  It's some piece of fantasy artwork, not sure where from.  I'm much better looking, of course.

oh heh, well it seriously looks identical. i tried to find a pic to compare but considering he was only in that episode ( as far as i know ) it's rare i guess.

Do you mean his, um, personal icon pic?

I thought that was Tom Cruise....like from Risky Business or something.


T, I meant movie 1.

It could be Tom Cruise.  Looks a hell of a lot like him.  Maybe the one who created the fantasy pic used his face as inspiration, or photoshopped it in.

I think it's Tom Cruise from the movie, "Legend."

My second guess would be Atreyu from the Neverending Story.

Don't think it's Atreyu.  I think you've got it nailed with Legend.  

Well...damn...guess I'll have to change my avatar...that was an awful movie...

Now it looks a little like Joey from Friends.  

I miss Tom.
