does anyone know where to get codecs to play movies on quicktime? i looked around and all i ended up with things that werent compatible with tiger, or mac os X. anyone want to share a link?
yeah i like 3ivx but via quicktime it doesn't handle avi's which have an mp3 soundtrack to the mpeg4 divx/xvid video... eg an episode of Lost from **ahem... lets just say NOT the apple online video store**

DivX doctor, which comes with the codec, fixes that; .avi files with mp3 audio and DivX video don't actually comply properly with the avi standard, and that's why QuickTime doesn't play them. DivX doctor moves the streams into a MOV wrapper to make it work.
I only really use 3ivx for encoding other files (the dual-pass encoder is pretty good) or for transcoding DivX to something else. For viewing stuff I normally just use VLC.
