Preparing Windows users for Xvid encoded movie clips

Xvid and DivX is a compressed high quality movie format, that is widely used on the internet in order to reduce file size. The word Xvid or DivX should appear in the filename to indicate this movie format.

Computers, that are based on the Windows operating system, might not be able to play Xvid or DivX movie clips in the built-in movie player.

This procedure will make it possible for those computers to play Xvid and DivX movie clips in the default movie player.

Install the free DivX Codec software for Windows. You only need the DivX Codec component, thus you can disable other components, other related software and registration details.

That’s it.
