These are actually called "DiVX" movies because of the codec used to encode them. Calling something an "AVI" doesn't really tell you all that much about the movie. Most DiVX movies are pirated or bootlegged films..... That said..... try all sorts of different DiVX codecs, found at VersionTracker by searching for "divx". Some work better than others, and some movies work best with certain ones. Try them all. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
