Divx playback w/o divx codec?

[KoS_Makenshi]

Is it possible to playback divx/xvid encoded files without the codecs being installed?
Like is there a player or something i can do--like make a cd with the divx codec files in it and a player-- and play divx-avi through the cd..
Im asking cause i cant install stuff on the comps from school. they restrict installations....

I don't think so.

Without the codecs installed, you may be out of luck

I have some movies which play fine using virtualdub but not with other players
What's wrong?

FFDShow will play divx and xvid but has to be installed on your computer. VLC (video lan) uses it's own codecs and plays just about any video format.

VLC is realy fine, this solves all my codecs problems on my win 2000 PC !!
