| It seems that you don't have divx3.11 installed in your system.Just install it and all will be fine. |

.. you can download it from www.doom9.org. But normally this codec is not allowed here, as its illegal  |

| You can also install DivX4/5 ( www.divx.com ). This codec is legal and also able to decode MS-MPEG4v3/DivX3.11;-). |
