    best codecs to use?

    could anyone please advise me on the codecs i need to run my divx/xvid movies.do i have to download the divx player or can i just download the codecs and use real player/media player.i do not want a load of spyware on my system.are there any "lite" packs and are they any good?also a friend of mine downloaded an xvid codec that contained a trojan called w32.manifest.is there a safe xvid codec to download?should i just download the nimo codec pack or have i any other options?

    you could try the nimo codec pack or the nimo "lite" codec pack. they are really good. you can run a movie in any .avi player. I prefer the WMP6.4, bsplayer(works best for xvid files), powerdivx...
    There arent any trojan horses in the new nimo codec pack. Not that me or my computer know of

        you can find bsplayer in the software section of divx-digest.com and WMp6.4 at
        start-->run-->"mplayer2.exe"(without the quotes)

        wait for your nimo codec pack to install then try it.
