have asked me how to play divx .avi video codec file on linux, mainly under debian or ubuntu. So I might aswell just post it here.
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://download.divx.com/labs/divx611-20060201-gcc4.0.1.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf divx611-20060201-gcc4.0.1.tar.gz
$ cd divx611-20060201-gcc4.0.1
$ sudo ./install.sh
then press Q then type yes for codec installs. simple next step to have VLC player, just use apt-get
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get vlc
to play the video open terminal and type
$ vlc /directory/of/my/vid/my-downloaded-movie.avi
If you have any other linux problems PM me
$ cd /tmp
$ wget http://download.divx.com/labs/divx611-20060201-gcc4.0.1.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf divx611-20060201-gcc4.0.1.tar.gz
