Yes, chances are you need a DivX Codec. try downloading the Divx Playa at [url]http://www.divx.com[/url]

Dont know if the Divx Player will install extra codecs or just decompresses through the player , but it'd be better to download just the codecs.And when installed , just open up your file with Windows Media Player and there you go.

BTW , what is a video codec question doing in " General Gaming " ? .. oh well :D

Becareful too, DivX Pro will install Gator with out your knowledge or consent.

You have to have a valid key to make it work without Gator too.
