Introduction

This is an alpha version of the DivX 5.0 decoder for Mac OS. It is able to decode all DivX video streams, up to and including the newest features of DivX Pro 5.0. It also can playback AVI files that include MP3 audio using the DivX Validator program. We’re working to improve this fix, so expect a more seamless solution in the future.

Installation instructions

To install the DivX codec, you should follow the following simple steps :

**OS 8.6 and OS 9.x :**

Place the file "DivX Codec" and "AVI.MovieImport" from the "OS 9" folder into your Extensions folder and reboot.

**OS X :**

Place the file "DivX.component" and "AVI.MovieImport.component" from the "OS X" folder into the Library/QuickTime folder, or if this fails use the Library/QuickTime folder in your Home folder.

 400Mhz G3 or faster
 video acceleration card with Quicktime support (ATI, NVIDIA), QuickTime 5

About Files with MP3 Audio

AVI files with MP3 audio do not play back properly due to a bug in QuickTime 5. We have spoken to Apple about this bug, but to date it has not been fixed. We are working on a workaround, and this alpha release includes the first public release of it.

The "DivX Validator" program changes the file type of your AVI file from "VfW" to "DivX". This causes QuickTime Player to use our AVI-handler instead of its own default AVI-handler to playback DivX video files. Our AVI-handler is able to playback MP3 audio in many (but not all) DivX video files. It is alpha software and it has some bugs. Please post to the DivX Forums or send us feedback at and tell us how well it works for you.

A side effect of changing the file type using the DivX Validator program is that QuickTime Player will not automatically open the file when you double-click on it. We will fix this in a future release, but for right now, just start up QuickTime Player, choose "Open..." from the File menu, then select the DivX video file you want to watch and it will play just fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q : How do I access the post processing options ?

A : While opening a DivX movie hold down the Option key until the post processing options dialog box appears.

Q : What should I set the post processing level to ?

A : For inexperienced and/or G3 users we suggest you use the Auto Management option. If you have a slower CPU, set it to the lowest levels.
Post-processing requires a lot of CPU power.

Q : I get a white screen when I try to play some DivX movies, what’s wrong ?

A : The movie you are playing is not a DivX movie because it isn’t using the DivX video codec. Chances are it is using Microsoft MPEG4, which isn’t supported in QuickTime.

Q : I don’t hear sound/sound is distorted with .avi movie playback, what’s wrong ?

A : The AVI movie you are playing has variable bitrate (VBR) MP3 audio within it, which is against the AVI standard. QuickTime does not support VBR audio inside an AVI. The problem may also be that the AVI file includes MP3 audio period. Use the DivX Validator program on the file and open it again in the QuickTime Player and see if that helps.

Known Issues

 No encoder for this release
 Sound sync problems can occur with .avi files with MP3 audio. The DivX Validator should provide a partial solution, but we’re continuing to improve upon it.
