1) I cannot see my divx (or I cannot hear it)
Try to install the last version of K-Lite
Pack, which has the most updated codec. You can also try avipreview:
if this works, it means that the video you have got is not complete.
Both programmes are here. Unfortunately sometimes you have have to
proceed by trial and error.
2) Can I see the vieo also if it is not complete?
Yes you can with avipreview, provided
that the codecs you have are the updated ones.
3) Can I see a divx with a desktop DVD reader?
Yes, as long as you change it into VCD or SVCD (mpg or mpg2) using an
appropriate programme, such as Tmpenc. Once you have changed it into the
appropriate file (this operation may require several hours to complete,
it depends on the type of processor you have got), you can burn it onto
a CD using NERO (using the appropriate option for VCD or SVCD)
4) Is there a deskstop DVD reader which is compatible with Divx?
There first one was called Kiss DVD Player DP-450.
Starting from summer 2003, a few more deskstop DVD readers compatible
with Divx formats have become available, and sometimes they are even
compatible with Xvid. In the largest part of cases all the codeds can be
updated (and rightly so, otherwise you coulnd't see any of the new dvix
or Xvid codec!)
The price of these DVD readers is higher than vanilla DVD
readers; however, the benefit is that you could watch the Divx on your
TV...Here there is a page with some hints about
Divx readers.
The other solution (fort hose who already possess a DVD reader and do do
wish to buy a new one) is, as already mentioned, converting the files
into VCD.
5) The quality of Divx I am watching is terrible (or the audio is
terrible with high background noise)
I am afraid that in this case you have simply stambled across a very
poor quality video which, almost certainly, has come from a divx
screener.
