Divx Codecs?
« on: 29 April 2005, 04:31 »
Anyone know what the best divx codec download is (for windows)? There are lots of different divx video and audio codecs that people use to encode stuff, and I'm looking for some all-in-one download that contains the most common codecs. Any ideas? THanks.

because you are asking for microsoft support!

if you want to ask a windows question, go to a windows forum.

you should be ashamed.

WTF? You should know by now that I of all people do not tolerate windows support on this forum. But asking for a non-Microsoft program recommendation is not Windows support.

I suppose I can't ask about OpenOffice or Firefox either if it's about the Windows-based version?

It qualifies as windows support because your question is windows-specific, ie: the same question would have a different answer on any other OS.
The meaning of my username "BobTheHob":
It is well known that "Bob" is a nickname for robert in modern times, a lesser known nickname for robert is that of "Hob". Hob is a nickname for robert from the "Middle English" dialect. This is the version of english spoken and written around the late middle ages. Thus my username can be percieved like "RobertTheRobert" which is redundant. As I always like to say "Simplicity in redundancy, and elegance in simplicity".

ok, so next time somebody comes here to ask about what to replace Internet Explorer or Microsoft Office with, you're gonna bin it right? Because anyone asking for a replacement for IE or Office is 99% likely using Windows.

Can you compare asking for codecs really the same as asking for an IE or Office alternative?
I can't say I agree.

So can you use MS codecs on non-MS software how about Linux software?
This is not a Windows help forum, however please do feel free to sign up and agree or disagree with our views on Microsoft.

Yes - VideoLAN VLC is quite good about this.  :cool:
