i have a new PC, and can't watch all my movies that i have D/Loaded, I could watch them on my old pc, but can't find the codecs to install. I've been to every codec site.. ever!!

How can I copy them off my old 2000 Hard drive to my New XP Pro Hard drive. (i'm hoping this is a how and not a Can I


Cheers

click on the properties of the movie, it will tell you the format it has been created under. If it wont automatically play then it will be a Divx format. look at www.divx.com You will need to copy the install prog for this if copying from another pc as it needs to be installed into the Windows\winnt folder

Believe me I've tried this. It's a DIVXMPG4 V3, i've installed everything off the divx site and everything else I can find.

3.11, 3.2 4.11. 4.12 etc....


Still no joy though

maybe it's something to do with XP?

nothing to do with XP, what msg is it coming up with?

What player are you using, try another one, a dvd player should work. The above site should mention players aswell & what they can play
