Sound not working on a DivX clip...

[ramirez60]

I downloaded a DivX video clip from Kazaa. The video is perfect quality, but there's no sound. Any sound codec I should download?

Download the newest DivX codec, it's always nice to have version 3.11 around too.

Some movies use AC3- or other less-common-formats for the sound. There are some tools (search on Google) which will help you determine what codecs you need.

...or just get the Nimo Codec Pack. Saves a lot of time.

Why is that? I have 3.11 and 5.0.2 I believe. Can someone tell me why I need both of these? How they differ, etc? I know I need 5.0.2 to play all the latest DivX stuff, but why do I still need 3.11 installed?

AFAIK the 5.x versions can't play all 3.11-encoded clips.

Thanks everyone, the Nimo Codec did the trick.
