You could run on Windows in bootcamp or even better run VLC on the MAc side (Windows version available too).

Hi all

i am presently offshore on a seismic ship and have been given some
digital movies that have a suffix of .divx and a couple of .avi and
.mpg.

These came from PC machines that are used by the crew to watch on
large screen TV's during time off using a media player of some kind
(in lieu of dvds). They look really good on the TV too.

I have a macbook pro 15" with 10.5.2 and quicktime on (not pro). Are
there other software programs that I can download to use to watch on
my machine that anyone knows of? I imagine quicktime pro would open
the mpg (it is xVid Mpeg 4 codec) but I dont have it here.

Could I run the .divx movies in Windows on bootcamp perhaps?

Any help is much appreciated

kind regards to all

chris
