Please Help Me Install XviD video codec to play movie files

[MacConvert2007]

Hello all,
I have a 2007 Macbook running Tiger 10.4.11.

I'm trying to install the equivalent of the XviD codec to allow Quicktime to play movies in that format. There are instructions for this here:
http://www.xvidmovies.com/mac/

As per the instructions, I already have quicktime, and have installed the DivX codec. I also have the file XVIDDelegateMacOSX.sit downloaded, but I'm not sure where to put it (or if I need to double click it).

I'm supposed to put it in the /Library/QuickTime directory and reboot. But that directory doesn't exist. I've never messed with Mac software on this level before, so I need some help, and don't want to guess.

Thanks

Are you just looking to play xvid or are you encoding also?

If you're just looking to play them, the easiest way is to use Perian:
http://perian.org/

Perian allows you to play a whole host of file formats (including xvid of course) in QT.
