xvid (IIRC) is the open source DIVX implementation inside an AVI |
| 10 |
wrapper. You should be able to play that video without any trouble, |
| 11 |
except for the DRM stuff that seems to be requiring you to download a |
| 12 |
specific movie player (presumably loaded up with such fantastic features |
| 13 |
as spyware and viruses). I've seen this before and I suggest you just |
| 14 |
delete that file and find one NOT DRM enabled as this one is. |
