    Watching downloaded Bittorrent .avi files

    Ive just downloaded a couple of episodes of the BBC comedy Look Around You (people around here should like it for its wacky 70s moog soundtrack). I'm on a Mac running OS X and I can't get the things to play. Does anybody know a couple of codecs or players that I might try? I've tried WMP and VCL and DivX3.

    Thanks for the help.

          Use this handy application, it will test the file and tell you what codecs you need.

          I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

              ^^^

              That doesn't help him because hes on a Mac. You just have to download all the codecs, I know there are mac versions floating about.

              Does it play with audio but no video or vice versa? I would just download all the ivx codecs, Divx 5 (for 3,4,and5 support) XviD for the video, and then AC3 for the audio. Almost all avi files are xvid or divx, and if they don't use mp3 audio, they will use AC3
