You may have installed the DivX codec, or other specific codecs, for QuickTime in Panther and lost them during the update/clean install process.

If you did an archive/install, then you should be able to find them in your Previous System > Library > QuickTime folder.

Otherwise, you may have to download and install clean. DivX 5.2.1 is here.

I've always used VLC to play my avi movies since the quicktime divix codec seemed to drop alot of frames on my computer.

I think VLC is the best way to play AVI's on macs give that a try....I would also reccomend downlaoding Mplayer and Xine Player they are 2 good alternatives and are good to have on your system anyway incase VLC cannot play a certain file format...

VLC can play anything, but it is kinda slow and glitchy. i will try those.

look for the 3ivx codec

And if you've got Xvid encoded movies, get the DivX codec, and then install the Xvid Delegate
