I'm trying to watch a movie online and it said to download xvid codec. So I downloaded it and it's in my programs, but the movie still didn't recognize the plugin or whatever. It says "no plugin detected." So any suggestions about what I should do? please help!

p.s. I downloaded VLC also(if this is important...)
I downloaded it from their site, so i guess it's legit. and I have the VLC media player. so I don't know if i need to go another step or something wrong...
 
If you downloaded the xvid codec from somewhere and not from their official site then your computer might be in trouble. What you might have installed is a virus. Xvid's official site is:
http://www.xvid.org/

Anyway, if you have VLC installed, you should be able to view the movie using it. No other special codecs required.
