I'm trying to watch a movie streaming on Divx, but it says in order to hear the audio I ned to download Directshow Decoder. Does anyone know where I can download this? I tried google, but wasn't sure whether or not to trust the listed sites... I'm a pretty much idiot when it comes to things like this.
I'm streaming them online, though ^^;

I just downloaded and installed the http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm from http://www.codecguide.com/, but ow the movies won't play at all. (Before they played without sound)

Once you have DivX movies downloaded, you need a player then. Here are the most popular ways to play DivX videos:
Method 1: DivX 7 for Windows.
Method 2: Using VLC player for DivX
Method 3: Windows Media Player

Obviously the most recommended way to play .divx files is to download DivX 7 for Windows from DivX Inc. It includes the codec installation which is needed to decode and display the video and also a player that can take advantage of the DMF (DivX Media Format) container extras.

Download the DivX 7 for Windows from AfterDawn.com at:
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/codecs_and_filters/divx_play.cfm

with the download of the DivX Codec, you also will have a DivX Player installed. This should be able to handle your .divx files right out of the box now.
